Strange how those 'in it for life' 'have you seen my interval averages, Carl?' runners with £300 trainers and a Samoan warrior leg tattoo evaporate when the weather gets cold. Just me and next door's dog, who was sporting a very fetching fairisle jumper, plodding along the prom today.

I was reminiscing about going clubbing with girls who kept a Nokia clamshell phone, a front door key, 13.42p in assorted change and a lippy in one cup of their bra today.

I found myself standing in The Range considering buying one of those two foot tall Christmas trees with battery powered lights and all the decorations fixed to it, today.

Monday morning coffee with my crowd and I walked in halfway through a conversation between Bel and Alison that involved phrases like "we're contemplating our third" "it's so expensive now" and "I'm not getting any younger"

I could run the BBC lads. I've single parented two girls from the ground up and the early years of doing that were the perfect preparation. And the middle years. And sometimes the now years....anyway my point is I wouldn't have resigned from it even if I could have.
