Hope that you had a great day Ed025? You must be our lucky charm, maybe we could have a whip around and get you a season ticket.
{Ed025's Note - yeah it was something else Mike, a bit overwhelming at first but it was top of my bucket list (before yesterday i only had a bucket), a bit knackered today though mate as i tried to cram it all in..

Great Ed mate, made up for you, get some rest you deserve it. It was a good day for me also, we won and I shot 79 at golf and I am almost 86. OK I play from the senior tees but the course is still almost 5000 yards.
Shooting under 80 at my age was on my bucket list also, now the next one is the new stadium visit.
{Ed025's Note - 79 is excellent at any age Mike but especially at 86 mate, i tip my hat to you, try and get to the stadium because i assure you you wont be disappointed..

80's the new50/60's I reckon, 86 is brilliant, lost count of the men and women doing the same stuff they did as kids, long may it continue. 75 now always been fit, major op (8 hrs) last year, made me grumpy and frustrated ???.
Back to 1hr swim twice a week and 2 hr gym twice a week now, including pull ups, my bucket is to do a muscle up. Keep going BlueMike, I reckon we must have lived a sinful life ????.

You too dmsblues, always tried to keep fit, bit of a passion really, know it can't last for ever but enjoy it while it lasts.

We won't know ????.

67 now play golf three times a week and am still hanging on to my seven handicap. Mind you I haven't won sod all for years.

Keep fit lads whatever you do but most of all keep posting you guys make this a brilliant read.

Congratulations BrassingtonBlue, seven handicap is excellent. I also play three times a week and my goal these days is to shoot my age. I moved a year ago to the senior tees when I was having trouble reaching the 150 yard mark from the regular tees.
Can still hit it straight though which helps. It's a great sport that you can continue to play at an advanced age, I'm hoping to be able to play well into my 90's, can't imagine having to sit at home watching the TV all the time like some old farts I know.

Tried Golf gave up, absolute rubbish at it.

Give him nought, up there scoffing his prawn butties ???.
{Ed025's Note - it was salt and pepper chicken in the basket actually DMS, im still doing the lottery and if i win we are all going to the game together mate, and GB will be flying over first class, thats also on my bucket list mate.. :)

A day to remember ed 025. I remember my first day at Goodison and the thrill it gave me. Now looking forward to my visit to BMD.
{Ed025's Note - it took my breath away Nick, loved the old lady of course but this is another level mate and i was overwhelmed to be honest and tried to cram too much in, my legs were aching at the end but the pain was worth it so if you can try and get there even if its only for one visit..

I’m hoping to take my lad to the Summer friendly as we won’t get time to get up from the south coast before then due to work, school and the simple fact it’s hard to get a two seats together for a reasonable price. Tempted to do a corporate hospitality thing and make a full day of it but it costs an arm and leg.
I’m also playing the lottery Ed but my last £3.40 win wouldn’t even buy a toffee doughnut!
