Golden Oldies Commandments - Take 2
Wed, 21 Sep 2005 07:25
As we know, some of us keep on playing rugby (well we run/walk around on a field pretending to be playing) way past what some may regard as an acceptable age. But there are some special rules for those of us who like to call ourselves "Golden Oldies", when in most cases the prefix is a total exaggeration. Here is the second of two instalments of those Commandments!
With the Wallabies reeling form three consecutive defeats, Jeremy Balkin - a reader from Australia - reflects on what went wrong and what needs putting right.
6. I will follow the Golden Oldies philosophy of fun, irreverence, and self-indulgence.
7. I will be an ambassador of Golden Oldies and always spread the good word.
8. I will never lose sight of the rule to make friends and renew acquaintances in exotic places.
9. I will always remember that I'm at far greater risk in what I may do to myself or have done to me socially than anything that might happen to me on the pitch.
10. There are only nine Golden Oldies commandments because memory fails with age.
Do you have any special rules you play under, or would like to play under? Let us know and we'll publish the best ones!
