Hi GB and Congratulations.
Any thought by me to laugh was quickly quashed by the knowledge that I will be exactly there next January.
Happy arthritis birthday.

Don’t worry, there’s nothing that can’t be mend by a good service and a new set of plugs...
Happy birthday!

Wow. Snap Bob!
My future F-in-L Andrew was Irish and a very strict Catholic. He had already ostracised one of his daughters for committing the dual sins of 'living' with a non-Catholic man. A few years later when he met me, he had calmed down a bit and that process continued as his large family gradually broke other taboos. Andrew was a Socialist. We saw eye-to-eye on many things. I'm pretty sure he thought I was ok.

Thank you to all my mates here!

70 is the new 50. Getting old has its advantages. My observation is that it gives you excuses to behave inappropriately. I'm an early developer of course!

I don't actually feel like I'm about to fall off my perch. Three of my grandparents lived to just short of 100 years. The only health issue I have is cranky joints and that should not kill me, (except, maybe getting caught by a speeding car as I totter across the road to Aldi's).

According to my wife, I've been a 'dirty old man' for about 40 years
