Yeah I reread that, I just grabbed an image from an article.

Def had to do it in the oven. Microwave was going to be much later, if you were lucky enough to have a microwave.

and to think I saw all that glory in the first half of my life (Well nearly 2/3)

I first went to the Southern Stand in the early 1950s. Wooden seats but concrete steps.

My nephew is 15 today.

I found out he was born whilst standing in the grog squad at Marvel in a game against West Coast.

Yeah I had a WTF moment when I was rolling into parent teacher interviews. The science Teacher has the same name as someone I know who couldn’t tie their own shoe laces. Thankfully it was just someone with the same name, and the other guy is still out there wearing Velcro or twin zips.

“You see they’re making a new Indiana Jones? Harrison ford is about 80 now…”

Me
“Yeah. They’ve well and truely jumped the shark now”

Son
“Yeah…wait….what?”

Me
“Jumped the shark. Like Fonzie”

Son
“Who‘S Fonzie”

Me (WTF?)
“Fonzie. From Happy Days!”

Son
“What’s Happy Days?”

Me (double WTF?)
“Ok. So there’s this guy. Called Fonzie. And he wears a leather jacket, and he rides a motorcycle. Tough guy, but real cool. But everyone wants to be him. Right? And he lives above the Cunningham’s place. And Ralph and Pottsy…and…Richie…and so he normally jumps garbage cans, but one time he jumped a shark on waterskis. And then the show sucked after that”

Son
“Oh”

It was my birthday this week…my daughter usually gets me a book or two, a JB HiFi voucher and some chocolate…all good gifts.

This year she bought me a Slow Cooker and a Slow Cooker Recipe Book.

I am still shaking my head in dismay.
