Re: Cures recent and now.
Well it could be worse.
During my recent medical the nurse asked if I was regular???????????
Yes every morning at 0630 hours but there is a problem.
What is it she asked.
I do not get up until 0700 hours.

Re: Cures recent and now.
Far too late for the Karma Sutra John. Just make sure there is enough room on the bedside table for all your medications, glasses, hearing aid, teeth and mug of cocoa. If you are still wearing the wig remove that also because it may slip down and restrict your breathing.

Age is just something in the mind, and joints, and gums, and hips, and knees and just about anywhere you allow it to worry you.
Me , no worries mate got a sedative that fixes it all .

Re: Cures recent and now.
Didn’t Alan Quartermaine nearly find it in Mount Kilanmanjaro . ? Could maybe make a quick trip to check on , pick up a few slaves on way back to cover expenses. If it was a Parker fountain pen you probably will find it in the museum now. Cheers JS

Re: Cures recent and now.
Everything was fine and dandy with the human population until the trouble maker, Isaac Newton, discovered gravity.
Suddenly all over the world bellies and arses dropped, people developed jowl's even though they didn't know what a jowl was.
Further complications arose, before going out skin had to be ironed to get rid of the wrinkles. In this hour of need men's hair deserted them but for women it had the opposite affect, they had to buy the Acme spud peeling and hair removing device.
If you are looking in the bathroom mirror this morning with the face of a drooping bulldog and all the other side effects remember this is all because of Isaac bloody Newton. He should have been deported to Wagga Wagga.

Re: Cures recent and now.
Now listen here mister fly, we like our Wagga just as it is thank you nicely.
But looking at a photo then other day of me on a ship in the 1960's.
Then looking in the mirror.
I do believe some one has doctored that one from the 60's, does not look a bit like me.
