hi keith #48
my mate is like you eighty, and hopefully like yourself indomitable, over the years he has had a couple of mini strokes
he has to take god knows how much medication, one being the ubiquitous warfarin, and a couple of years ago just after the start of a race he took the knock and had to go below, during the race which over one tide we took a peek in to see if he was ok, but he seemed fine, anyway he kicked up murder when we motored back into port after coming fifth, so there you are, lifes only over when you let it be and its ended when its ended

hi john sabourn #49
that was the problem, he kept hacking at it as the skipper kept screaming use your chopper man, this is why cappy said he said he had his tool in his hand.

hi cappy#51
obviously cappy the angle of your wallet is making it uncomfortable therefore leading to a high pitch in your tone of voice, just a tip take a couple of dozen white fivers out and it will ease things up.

Mention of a green ring, would that make it a bit itchy I wonder?

As to a Tea bag on your eye, bit of a problem for me do not drink the stuff, so how do I put a coffee pot on my eye?

We both only drink non colored coffee, have to be so careful how you describe things now, but do have some tea bags in the house though no one we know drinks it either.

Few years ago my sister and her man came for a holiday, showed them where the tea and coffee is and said help your self.
He thought our tea was very weak, but when he checked the use by date on the tea it was two years past the date.
Some people are never satisfied.

hi john #57

well technology has solved some of the problem, as they now do coffee in a sachet, its absolute **** though, but it may do for your eyes.
