Deri, I'd do it all again too...especially the pints and pints of stout
consumed afterword!  ;-)

You're absolutely right!  The aggravations of gimpy geezerism are worth
the memories and camaraderie of earlier days.

Hi Manuela,

Unfortunately my sporting days have passed (53), but I used to play
5-a-side 
soccer quite a lot. Haven't done OT or PT since leaving school. I have
the 
typical "sporting injuries" mentioned by others on the list, but then so
do 
many of my 50 something non disabled friends.

Would I do it all again? Yes, certainly, the friendships and experience
from 
being involved with sport far outweigh the disadvantages. I see the same

thing in my own (non-disabled) children, 2 of them are sport mad, and
have 
abused their bodies in much the same way as I did.

Cheers

Deri
