As ye get older

[Treasurer]

Your parents shouldn't be watching mucky television Pint.

Well is that not what the parental control buttons are for?

I only realised how old I actually am at the weekend when I was looking at the Down Memory Lane section of the local rag and there I was in a picture of (and I quote) "a team from yesteryear". And it was an adult team too.

Twas my birthday yesterday (I wont say how many) and by coincidence I played what was quite possibly my last game of football. Apart from the fact that I'm walking like John Wayne today, I realised that about twenty five of the lads on the pitch yesterday weren't born when I played my first senior game.

[stpauls]

Belated Happy Birthday!  Is this your first retirement?  If so, I wouldn't write you off just yet.

i know what you mean, i only wish we had left at the same time as you!! wasn't the best this morning, but was worth it!!
oh, and i got a phone call today with an explanation about yesterday's decision!!

[passedit]

Thanks but the numbers i'm talkin about here dont fit with happy.

Treasurer, I did say 'quite possibly', it's a long time til next april but given how i've 'wintered' this last few years I'd say its a good bet.

St Pauls, thats fair enough, I take it it was a late one?

[stpauls]

Brian was having to throw us out of the place, me spice and shane were the last ones in the bar!!

[ziggysego]

Happy Birthday.

Speaking of old age etc....

I can't remember where or when I heard it (must be my age ) but I heard someone asking this oul fella from Dublin how he was....he says, "Any day I swing me legs out of bed and me bollix follow them is a good day".
