My mom believe it or not Is

Elizabeth Taylor 92 years young (friends that she has left call her Betty) 

Sadly she joined my dad just before Christmas. They were together 70 years and death will not keep them apart

When I was born (along time ago) Moms stayed in hospital for about a week and babies were taken to an area to sleep and brought back to the moms to be fed later

My mom was given the wrong baby and complained that this isn't my Robert, The other mom was found and had fed me without even noticing and were swapped back

I wonder if my mom hadn't realised, who would I be now?, would I have been brought up in a wealthy family?, and would I still be a Villa fan or posting this on a rival site

What if you mum was wrong and you are actually with the wealthy family?

Are you saying I might not be me and that I am actually the other child ?

When you look at football videos from the 70's and 80's, when someone scores a goal, they'd sort of hop up in place and throw their hand up or do a upper cut move with their arm. At some point goal scorers started to run, often toward the corner flag or to the stands, with both arms up. My question is, if you were to pick a year what year did this shift happen? And what explains it?

There's a book to be written on goal celebrations. My Dad was of the generation that believed anything beyond a handshake was ostentatious and unmanly.

I've wondered why I've seen more military activity in the skies these past few months over  Cambridgeshire than I did living at RAF Akrotiri for 2 and half years.

Obviously will not be the first instance of a jubilant celebration, but I vividly remember watching match of the day and seeing Klinsmann’s dive after scoring the winner on his debut for Spurs when they beat Wednesday 4-3, opening day of the season. 

That won’t answer your question, but for me it was probably the first time I can remember there being almost a knowing retort in celebrating a goal. Like a “statement” celebration making the headlines. I can remember kids copying that the next time they played down the park.

Lee Sharpe at Man Utd always sticks in my mind for celebrating goals. Probably 92 or 93? 

Always thought he'd play for us one day.

I mean, hours old and you were already suckling at a woman’s teet who wasn’t your Mother. My hat goes off to you.
