    Another thing about getting older ...

    Can you still jump, like down off walls, like you used to do as a kid?

    I used to be like one of those French laddies you see leaping about on the BBC interactive adverts when I was a nipper, 8 or 9 feet drops meant nothing to me.

    Nowadays I approach even a three-foot high wall with some trepidation, and sit on top of it half-way over while gingerly stepping off the other side, rather than hurdling it with glee.

    Is that just borne out of experience from forgotten twisted ankles, or is there an in-built defence mechanism in the brain that kicks in and says "no, hang on, matey, your knees and ankles are no way up to that anymore, let alone your dodgy hip, you old twat"?
