I told the Mrs a while ago that, I have somewhere between 10 minutes and 10 years. The only thing is, I haven't started counting the minutes.

G'day Simmo.....you've become our Forum Maverick mate......my late pappy told me....'do not resist growing old ..many are denied the privilege'...he died at 61 and my grandfather at 56...we are all possibly on borrowed time....the library of life.......Hoo Roo....

Yeh Goldfinger it's a whole new world. My Father died of a heart attack on his 43rd birthday in 1953. With the help of a complete engine rebuild (Bypass) at age 62, I am now 32 years past him at 75. Interestingly the first bypass was performed in the USA in 1953, on a 13 year old girl. Because nobody had invented a Heart Lung Machine, they had her father beside her, and all her systems and blood supply was connected and performed by him.
Cheers.....Simmo
