Keep going -----
Some years ago, Bristol University did a study on Old Blues, and came to the conclusion --- I kid you not !---- that
"20% exceeded the National Mortality Rate " --------
I always understood this to be 100% -----
so 20% of us are IMMORTAL !!!
It was about the patients of Dr Friend, and I sent the results for publication in the Blue !!
I wonder if the Author got a Double First ??

As one dinosaur to an apprentice, welcome to middle age. As for a quicky drinky, not a good idea - just sit down and consume slowly taking all the time in the world.
