Old Age
Hi All.
This in the paper out ere.
This was just a little tiddler when Henry the 7th became king of England. Now 512 years old, a Greenland shark found in the North Atlantic has been declared the oldest living Vertebrate.
The extraordinary fish is thought to have been born as long ago as 1505. Experts used material from it's eyes to estimate it's age, according to Joint Science.
Fish and chips never tasted better.
Cheers Des

Re: Old Age
Story has it John, Cappy also caught the Lampton Worm on the Tyne in the jar he put his tiddler in, and we all know it grew and grew to a great enormous size. JS

Lewis sounds like you had a whale of a time writing that but it smells a bit fishy to me.

Re: Old Age
The fish(er) ere can only be served OLD. Minus one eye, stitched up heart, scars, dodderin' with white cane, not as tasty as once was, but ready fer a tipple with whomsoever needs, me. Only other gender may apply, age 20-30, wealthy, and anxious to please.
Better now after a weeks hangover from Birfday Bash. Cheers, an' Happy New Year to all, Eric
