I can remember Norwich playing Sheffield United away in the 1959 FA cup quarter final, and our goalie, Ken Nethercott was injured. We drew 1-1 I think. Sandy Kennon replaced him for the replay at Carrow road, and I could hear the roar of the crowd, over 40,000, from my front door when we scored twice to win 2-0.We lived about 3 miles from the ground.

Luton beat us 2-1 in the semi final to get to Wembley.

Those were the days cloud9
Oh yes. That day broke a city's heart. We honestly and sincerely thought we would make it to Wembley, and once there, who knows what might have happened? It took the club years to get over it.

I think the score was 1-0. Billy Bingham scored it, and I've always vowed to beat the crap out of him if I ever saw him in my travels around Northern Ireland. Old man's talk. A well-written book about FA Cup Giant Killers rated it the best cup run of all time - don't forget that Norwich were in the old Third Division South at the time, and the players sometimes had a day job as well.

Sorry folks. Got a bit rambling there............
You know you (me) are getting old when you can't remember the score. I think Notts Forest beat Luton 2-1 in the final. Good times.

But still look nervously in the mirror. Even though the last time I got stopped was over 10 years ago.

Three Golden Rules of male middle/old age:

Never trust a fart
Never miss an opportunity for a pee when out and about
Never waste an erection - you don't know when the next one will happen!

Oh, this is worrying.

When you call somebody a twerp.

I'm going to look for someone to call a twerp, what a brilliant adjective. hehe

The way Billy Connolly told it, he was told these on his 60th birthday and the third one was:
"IF you get an erection - use it, even if you're on your own."

...You find getting pulled over mildly interesting

...You start to think a 600bhp performance car is possibly unnecessary

...You start to empathise with BMW drivers when the stereotype proves a truism

...You settle for a handjob off the Mrs without a fight, (which she performs while reading the paper over your shoulder, but you don't care) or indeed feeling insulted

Christ it's my birthday at the end of the month... .

When did kebabs get so expensive?

I found myself in a kebab shop last night, the most expensive kebab was about £12!

Surely you should be able to get one out of a fiver & still have your bus fare home?
TWELVE quid for a 'kin kebab???? eekeekeek

I assume that comes with rice, chips, free home delivery and a hand job??????

When I was hanging round the streets of England many years ago a kebab was something you bought with the last couple of quid in your pocket after a night out, not something you took a second mortgage out for. How much is a pint now??
