It's now possible that we could get a rematch of the Brisbane v Port Grand Final from 20 years ago if they win their prelim finals.

Probably the most 50/50 of all the options TBH

I think it's more likely we will get a rematch of the 2022 Geelong v Sydney GF but hopefully it's a better game than that was.

Does anybody else remember 'Scott Adams Adventure Games' (I think) where you had a cassette player thing attached to your Commodore 64 (or similar) and had to follow clues & stuff?

If so, you're officially old...

Had the radio on this morning as I was doing some errands. The talkback on Triple J was about dressing up as a mascot.

Old mate rings up and talks about being a mascot 40 years ago - "none of your listeners would even have been born!"

Thanks buddy, I was born, and now I feel 100 years old.

My eldest got married on the weekend. That makes me feel really old.

At the supermarket checkout today with just a couple of things. A mother says to her daughter, "Let this gentleman go first". I start looking behind me.

Freddie Mercury died 33 years ago.

Somebody said to me the other day, talking about a bloke he’d just met, “He looked like Freddie Mercury.” I couldn’t remember what FM looked like.

I remember renting it during the 2005 winter school holidays and the daily routine with my siblings was we’d watch PF, have a kick at the oval with my new (league Raiders) footy and watch the Tour de France stage.

I've started a couple of times. Just couldn't get into it.
