With so many of my old music mates beating me to the grim reaper I now
wake with the thought, 'every day is a bonus'.

But then I get the GP telling me that my diet and sedentary lifestyle is
all wrong. I should eat more sensibly and exercise as much as my
mobility allows me.

Yeah, right.

To be honest, I don't want to live forever. I saw how my dear old Mum
suffered in the last few years of getting as far as 102. She didn't want
to get that far.

At 81 I reckon I'm probably almost life expired anyway, so sod it. I'll
just keep on doing what I want to do until I can't any more.

Tiz the best way to go. And when I've had enough I might just do a
Thelma and Louise.

Fuck 'em all.

I remember one Hawaii 50 episode where a bloke kept on getting cancer. He
was a microlite pilot and decided he was going to do a long trip over the
sea. Everyone knew he was really just going to end up dying doing what he
loved, and that was what he did despite a lot of the medics trying to stop
him. I think it ended with Steve actually helping him to do his take off in
secret. Lots of meaningful looks etc, but it does make you think.
I want to set up an Enduring power of attorney, but I have no relatives
left alive of a younger number of years, and I'm not sure most of the
lawyers I know could be trusted to do the right thing.

To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer and the BOFH.

From now on Thunderbird will only refer to the rotgut wine that only winos drink to kill themselves with rather than the news reader delivered to the Shed by God on two gold tablets.

I was thinking more in terms of the 'cliff-hanger' ending but your
suggestion also has validity.

I have to say, I'm getting the less sugar and salt and more exercise talk
from the doctors, OK I am now on Folic Acid, but there has been little
change in my couch potato lifestyle and I can still cut my toe nails sit
cross legged and all of that stuff, my core strength is apparently vey
good. I'm thinking quite often people are just born with weaknesses and
strengths, and being sporty is certainly not my bag,man as they used to say.
