Think ive said before, as i got into the wanderers and learned the history, 1958 seemed a lifetime ago

It was only about 15/20 years

It's amazing isnt it?ย  My favourite ever Wanderers season 1996/97.ย  Remember it like it was yesterday. 24 years ago.

24 years before I was born World War 2 was still going on!ย

Aye, the first world cup i can remember is 86, 20 years after we won it when it was mostly black and whiteย 

19 years since 2002 in Japan, doesn't seem half as far away

As a proportion of the time you've been alive it isn't...

If/when you become an octogenarian the half-decade between 80-85 will probably feel like a long weekend.

It's all just an illusion caused by the world spinning round anyway

I used to get up just in time for Football Focus. Kids put paid to that malarky.

As the kids grow up it's crept up to 9 as a lie in.

Butย  6 or 7 at the weekend? Fuck that.

Me and the mrs have a lie in each at weekend, she Saturday, me Sunday, up to 11.30

The other gets up with the little oneย 

I'm sure she's trained her to wake up at 7 on a Saturday and 10 on a Sunday

The bestย time of the day is the morning. Itโ€™s not an age thing. Dad was always up early, lighting the fire for us before we got up.ย A family of five in a 2up2down terrace. Probably as a result,ย Iโ€™ve always got up early. Itโ€™s just natural to me.
We mostly speak to our youngest in Sydney when heย gets up early, 6am,ย for his morning exercise, and then speakย at around 7am.ย 
Maybe itโ€™s a working class thing.ย

Fucking hell, I suddenly feel really old. Born 16ย years and 6 months after the end of the war. In pretty much exactly that time later I was starting my working life as an engineering apprentice at Horwich Loco Works.
