Time only moves quickly when you review it in one big chunk like that. I bet within those five years, you had days that dragged and dragged, yes? Stop looking at it with those bloody darkly tinted glasses on Tez!!
Don't let your age, whatever it is, coerce you into looking back unless it is to your advantage in moving to the future Hey, come on missy, it is Friday, and never mind the last five years, man these next five are gonna be ****-hot, I guarantee it!

Tez I am glad you redeemed yourself with that positive self-talk otherwise I was gonna have to come round there and take you by the shoulders and give you a shake!
In fact, I think I will just give you a virtual {{shake}} anyways to be sure you are not BSing youself about pounding the streets Anyway, it is not about pounding the streets or about being fit or unfit or a 14 or a 16 or whatever. I am nobody to lecture anybody else and but the wisdom and experience and insight that you have Tez cannot be bought or owned by anybody without working the years to get it. I appreciate having you here and but even that is not important. I hope you appreciate and respect yourself and your worth as much as you are appreciated and respected And not just here. Goodness I can only imagine where all your colleagues and students and kids and family and friends would be without you. And yet it is not just about them either. It is about you. There is a warrior in you, that fact is clear as diamond and but I think that spirit can be overtaken with the extraneous paphernalia of all our modern stuff. I will not get kooky or new-age, I will just wish you the kind of weekend that will start the best five years you have ever had Take care, yes?
My friend, that is but one of the reasons I like you so much. You know where you stand on everything and you take no **** off nobody
Oh boy, Leeds Cage sounds like a gig and a half. A soft southerner like me would need a crew to go up there and take that on - different thing I know, and but I have been to Elland Rd many times yrs ago when we used to follow the Hammers and them boys know how to let loose! Ah but I envy you for having the confidence and mental toughness to get in the ring as ref. I know everybody is mates afterwards and but Tez, goodness, ref? Wow, what a gig Hey you enjoy, yes? You will be in your element I think And but never mind RNCs, and being a toughass, you just take care, please post up your experience from the ref's pov, that would be interesting in itself yes. And you get a giant squeezy weekend hug from me and I will get my shaker out of the thread I am derailing the serious discussion Have a great time you
