So, we have achieved some biblical milestone , time to die?

As was I. Scripture and Divinity played a significant role in my "schooling". But then, so did the Domino Theory, so maybe the school wasn't as great as people thought.

It was written (!) in one of the Psalms, if you recall any of them. I try not to.

BTW, after more than five years since my wife passed, I have met a lovely, albeit crazy, new lady. I have no intention of shuffling off just yet!

I've been told by a smart arse mill. in a Gov office that my birthdate 'Does not compute'!
I very loudly told her it again and added 'if you put the right data in, you'll get the correct answer out" then added 'I may be over 70 but I'm not senile'. That brought a smile from those old farts who weren't already deaf or around the bend and over the hill.
Rude yes I certainly can be when deserved, but I'm not yet daft.

Insofar, yes. Take time to smell the roses, so to speak.

Actually I may regret saying that as I bought a new Prado not long ago and every time I drive the D4, I wonder why! The Cook says if you feel like that sell the Prado and keep the Disco.... :O
