There Are A Fair Few 'silver Surfers Here......

[Wussername]

May I take this opportunity to inform all new members to the forum and in particular those who are new to the Broads, that this thread or topic demonstrates why the authorities have seen fit to impose strict speed limits on our rivers and Broads. 

Because of us, everybody has to travel at 4mph or at most 6mph.

Breydon................do what you like. We dont go there. Our wives don't allow us.

Andrew, we write slow just so 'furriners' can understand what we say but we only go slow in our motor boats because 'furriners' tell us to! Anyway, no speed limits on sailing boats, whoopee, we might have straight family trees but we aren't that slow! 

Have a larf on Nor-fick:

                                   **** I'M ALL WORN OUT ****

                                           I'm suppose to still be young

                                           at least that's what i'm told

                                           another year has just gone by

                                           and i'm 53 years old ,

                                           well my body's in need of repair

                                           as my bones are getting weak

                                           my joints are always creaking

                                           i'm abit like an old antique ,

                                           my back keeps giving me pain

                                           and my eyes are going as well

                                           i'm starting to get some wrinkles

                                           it's old age  i can tell ,

                                           i keep coming out in hot flushes

                                            and i'm suffering weight gain too

                                            i think they call it the menapause

                                            and it's making me feel quite blue ,

                                            and if i had to pass a test

                                           like a car at an MOT

                                           i'd be thrown onto the scrapheap

                                           as i'd fail miserably .    

this is my version of old age, a poem i wrote last year  haha. lori

I am a new boy on the silver block, a tad over 67. I use to think nothing of going round a 6800yard golf course twice in a day. Or bowling 20 overs in a 50 over game. These days without the modern aids like my pal "SCOOT" and my car I would be stuck at home.

This however does not stop my old grey cells from keeping an eye on the Forum. I am sure most of us, if not all of pension age, still are as alert if not as able as they were forty plus years ago!

And they say do sport It keeps you fit...

They don't tell you of the consequences later...

Agreed, but, I would do it all over again, given the chance. I met some amazing people when I did play sport.

I met and played with future Test players, Tv stars, and many Pro golfers. I did have the odd visit to A&E to get my left ankle strapped up, but was fortunate that my mum was a nurse, so she carried out most of the running repairs!

At nearly 57, I'm clearly still a youngster... I have always enjoyed this gem though... From the late and great Pete Seeger:
