Why this sudden involvement with Age Concern? I'm only 81 (tho' sometimes I do lie about my age, telling people I'm 91 to impress them with my extraordinary state of preservation), Spadoman served under John J. Pershing, Vicus once - only once - walked out with Enid Blyton and I suspect one of Rimshot's household duties is to dust the frame of his very first bus pass, there being no buses in his part of the world.
I'll cherish the simple things The easy took-for-granted things Like going round my Mum's house for my tea And arguing with my sister, (only God knows how I missed her) It's the simple things that mean the most to me
Goodness, I'm glad to hear that! 81 indeed! I will only say, in a coupe of months - oh no, less than a month I shall become venerable and entitled to a free bus pass myself. If such things still exist. (Not that they're any use out here where the nearest bus comes but once a day and the bus stop is a mile or two away).

Not that there's a rude joke in there somewhere--but what Vonnegut said.

Mr B you are as inspiring as ever
lovely to see you here
(-:
Christopher and I had you down for about 55. . . as for everyone else fessing up about their true age, I'll leave that up to their discretion
Mel it's a great truth - I wish I'd learnt it years ago
shot tut tut
(Actually you aren't that far out!)
