Shortly it will be 86 years since Britain declared war on Germany.

The halfway point of that is when we beat Derby 4-1 at home on 4 September 1982.

I went to that game and remember it vividly.

I’ll be dead soon.

They've discovered a comet passing through our system that supposedly is 3 billion years old.

If you really want to feel old, take your age and go back that far from your birth year, Queen Victoria was still on the throne and the Boer War was taking place in my case!!

All of Elton John's best albums are 50+ years old now so I know I am old.

As a teenager I was concerned that 50 years in to the future Elton John would sound like George Formby did then.

I hate to be sentimental but don't die soon.

Do what you need to to stay comfortably alive as long as reasonably possible.

Same for me. What it is to be 75.


I read that wrong. If I go back my age (75) from my birth year I get to 1875, the year that Matthew Webb became the first person to swim the English Channel.

It's a really interesting thing to do.

In my case, in that year the first batch of a carbonated beverage was brewed and sold, which became one of the most immoral and corrupt global companies in history. Coca Cola.

Never. Ever. Drink it.

Interesting!

In my case, Sainsbury's opened their first shop and the Cutty Sark was launched.
