There are those of us that are of a great age now, those who can nod wisely without saying anything and younger people look and say 'Yep, that slightly older person has done it all, lived the dream, can pass on age old wisdom, picked up the hard way...'
And yet...
There are things that you do and you have to think to yourself.. 'Bugger...again? I did that last time and it hurt/didn't work/fell off/fell over/floated off and was never seen again. (Delete as applicable) Haven't I learned?'
So I thought maybe it would be handy, and perhaps funny to others, to have a place to get these things off our chest, to let others know that you are not alone in your repeated lack of learning, so that others may look at this, laugh and point and say 'Yeah, I did that too, but not as stupidly as you did.' or something similar. Maybe we can learn something.
I'll start..
When you are 183cm tall, and your garden shed has a doorway which is 175cm tall, bounding enthusiastically into the shed to pick out the bike you are going to ride today is not advised. It can hurt, and not just for this time but for the other 17 times in the last 3 years that you promised yourself you would remember this fact.
