    Apologies Froggy, I've away and ran away with myself there - you're just old - not really old then!

    I appreciate and understand the views of "proper" football fans. We've got a properly duff product up here so it's suprising people get quite as excited about things as they do.

    I will take my "old age" as compliment and run away with it...:p

    I am on my second pair of knees.. not due to old age, but a 10 pin bowling "incident" a few years back.. I still hold the record of being the only person to score a strike with my head..painful though :o:o

    I can now predict the weather quite accurately :D

    Good job you got a strike, it would have been a 'mare to have to try to knock down the remaining pins ;)

    Oasis? Happy Mondays? Am obviously too young to remember either :D

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
