couldnt catch them with a gallon of penfolds in me gut ......but sure as hell did worry when standing in sydney airport on holiday on arrival if there were outstanding warrants for any other misdeeds of youth.......cappy

The first thing a man looks at in a woman is her heart. The fact that her boobs are in front is not our fault ! JS

Re: richard in nsw
Back on Deck!
It all started earlier in the year on my periodical prostrate cancer checkup. A change in radiation numbness and pain in my buttock and down my leg. I thought the cancer had reared it's ugly head. In June my oncologist sent me for a CT scan and that showed no sign of cancer but my spine was the problem as nerves are pinched. The upshot was my GP put me on medication and referred me to the Neurosurgery Clinic down the mountain where I am on a very long waiting list. I have been prescribed Lyrica and that works well for a good night's rest. Stairs on three levels but as they say 'use it or lose it' - no! My legs. So it is 'continue as normal' at a slower rate of knots, don't whinge and await the neurosurgery appointment on 6/7/2018 with bated breath.
All the best to to you all, or as our lovely American daughter-in-law whom our son Rick brought over from their South Carolina home for a couple of weeks at late September, would say, "y'all". And JWS; Cappy might need a couple of mates like us to nominate him for the 'Hall of Fame' with Ned Kelly and the other notable bushrangers we Aussies are all so proud of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushranger

Re: richard in nsw
Thanks Brian, John, Den and Keith. We can't bounce around like we did in the days of our youth but we can still make the best of and cherish what we've got.
Keep well, Keep happy,
