When I worked in the local pub as a young fella, the guys coming into the bar were around my age now, or a few years younger even, though at the time, they seemed like proper men to me. Farah slacks, moustaches, Shaws shirts, keys hanging off belt, families reared, houses, proper gardens. Professional porter drinkers.
Do I look like that to some young fella? Maybe. Maybe not.

My young lads are obsessed when they see Garda cars, fire engines, Dublin buses or anything like that. The eldest lad was telling my auld lad at the weekend that we saw a Garda car with the lights flashing when we were down town in Wexford. So off my auld lad goes and produces this framed picture of himself in his Garda regalia and he was telling the kid that he used to be a policeman etc. I’d seen this picture many times and I always thought he looked like an auld lad in it and was maybe in his early 50s at the time but never dwelt on it. I just happened to ask him how old he was in the picture and I nearly fell off the chair when he replied “35”. That’s 5 years younger than I am now. Granted there’s been massive advances in skin care and I look amazing but I was shocked.

haha, yeah, I know what you mean. You see old pics of footballers in their 20s and they look like auld fellas. Taches etc. Though you see a hipster young guy with a tache now and he still looks like a young fella with a tache.
Gardai always had old mans heads on themselves 
I know that picture.
I’d have had CPO Bandage at about 40 in it.
But I’d put you at 50 right now if I didn’t know you.

I’m not that old yet TG…
There’s no right thread for this, nothing under nostalgia.
We were talking about old games today, did anybody ever play a game called ‘polio’, how did it go? I remember running up and down but not the purpose,
Another game where you played against a wall with a football and had to call a name as you kicked it, anybody??
We used to play the second game in the handball alley in weston. You called a name and if the ball got passed them they were out
It was class

We played pole… which i presume was widespread in Ireland… but a local had greasy scum up all along his wall to deter people climbing it. We always sent loser of pole over the wall
Probably different names ? What was the rules?
Second game was called Walls.
Polio was like bulldog
