I use past players numbers to call out my scores after each hole on the golf course when I play (rarely). Far too many Ian Morrison's and Stan Davidson's (post 53) to impact my handicap.

Re: Is It Just Me ???
When I can't sleep instead of counting sheep I run through the Bulldogs playing list in number order. Sometimes I try to give myself a challenge by going back to another year.
Doesn't always work for putting me to sleep though because I get so desperate to know the answers!

I commentate cricket games where I am bowling to Mark Taylor. That'd be enough to put anyone to sleep.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I do the same thing, sometimes I try numbers by decades as well.
Couple of times I've had to pull out the ipad to look up numbers and get stuck awake with a quick look at Woof.

What's numbers by decades?
I can be watching a show or reading a book and they will mention a sum or an equation and that's me done. I have to check that it's right. Old time footy scores have to be checked to make sure they all add up. I can get a bit obsessive at times about numbers.

Re: Is It Just Me ???
Sometimes I amuse myself when walking the dog by taking the house numbers and applying an appropriate player description eg number 2, good for its age; number 9, FOR SALE, that kind of thing.
I also do the same as jazzadogs when I can't sleep but I go backwards.

Nothing to do with footy I know but just found it a sign.
Nothing to do with footy? Luke Penny was no. 27!

The treasurer at Bacchus Marsh Bowls Club is also one of the bingo callers.
An avid Melbourne supporter, you'll often hear 'Ron Barassi, 3 and 1, 31.'

Cheers KT. That'd just get my whirling worse I reckon. I'd just have to know who number 60 was in 1987 or I wouldn't be able to sleep.

Doug misses inaugurating 1977 as the first Doug Hawkins day by 1 year. He debuted in 1978 but at least he had the good grace to make it April Fools day, 1/4/1978.
