Have you turned 72 today?

'I'm approaching 72 years of age, having been ever-present at CCFC since 1952 until this season.'
Happy birthday VoR!
we can tell your old VOR because you repeat yourself so much
PMSL -- which Forum am I on, keep forgetting .. are we still in Div 3 North ?
Just wondering what the ages are of some of the regular posters on SBT ? Just curious as some don't seem to grasp that at 72 and an OAP I am not as able as I would like to be now to go to away games. In my younger days, I went to every away game, even to Europe to support the Sky Blues in Munich.
Age does have it's limitations now unfortunately, as do finances.
Forgetting all the other reasons why you would struggle to get to away games VOR unless you can stand for 90 mins or get a seat on the front row you wouldn't see much of the game. I'm a 49 year old spring chicken but I reckon we're all 21 when we score.
I think this probably means yes you are VOR!!

Phew! I thought for a while I was old but now, after reading some of these posts I feel like a young whippersnapper! (I'm 60, by the way)

I bet you feel older after the last couple of days- has the IOW recovered from the storms?
There's only three main roads going across the whole island, from west to east, and two were blocked with fallen trees and closed off for most of the day. Ferry crossings were badly disrupted as well. Also Yarmouth was flooded badly. (see pics below)

I love the Isle of Wight, Baz I'm really jealous.
We just get on with it though!
Yeah I love the Isle of Wight as well, my friends own Charnwood there and get over every now and again the last time I was in ventnor I think it was called ,a good laugh and I was even more amazed in one area they had a wimpyYou wouldn't at the moment Rich! Winters are really shite - even more so than the mainland! We just get on with it though!
The isle of wight is ok when youre on the ferry to lymington waving goodbye to it.
But it's brilliant when you're on the ferry waving hello to it.
Grew up there, family still live in Yarmouth. Must admit I don't mind a flying visit and it is a very scenic place, but in winter it just closes down. The over-riding feeling I had when I lived there was boredom so I guess that's how I still view it.
I'm into my 4th year here now, Covmark. Yeah, I agree, there are times when I get up and think "What shall I do today?". Being retired doesn't help. I fish a lot - sea fishing in the summer, coarse fishing at the moment until April/May time. Might do the odd evening fish from Yarmouth pier. But apart from that, me and the missus go for loads of walks and might hop on a bus to another town for the day (saves on fuel and it's free for us!).Have thought about moving back to the mainland but not Cov. Took me years to leave!
