    A foot note to the above ; being born on 1st of January a man needs a strong constitution . Still here though and # 75 coming up.
    Durban Castle Neil, was that not a bit risky, if I recall they shoved bloods out of the port holes on her. But you survived to tell the tale, good luck mate and enjoy the 75th, you earned it.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    my 21st I spent in the playhouse bar Durban, drinking old napoleon brandy, picked up a girl from another table by buying her a drink, went to the playhouse picture section, and so to bed.

    Default 21st Birthday

    Perks of reaching 50
    Or being over 60
    And heading towards
    70 or beyond!

    1.
    Kidnappers are not very
    Interested in you.


    2.
    In a hostage situation,
    You are likely to be released first.


    3.
    No one expects you to run --
    Anywhere.


    4.
    People call at 9 PM (or 9 AM) and ask,
    'Did I wake you?'


    5.
    People no longer view you as a
    Hypochondriac.


    6.
    There is nothing left
    To learn the hard way.


    7.
    Things you buy now
    Won't wear out.


    8.
    You can eat
    Supper at 4 PM.


    9.
    You can live without sex
    But not your glasses.


    10.
    You get into heated arguments
    About pension plans.


    11.
    You no longer think of speed limits
    As a challenge.


    12.
    You quit trying to hold
    Your stomach in no matter who walks
    Into the room.


    13.
    You sing along
    With elevator music.


    14.
    Your eyes won't get
    Much worse.


    15.
    Your investment in health insurance
    Is finally beginning to pay off.


    16.
    Your joints are more accurate meteorologists
    Than the national weather service.


    17.
    Your secrets are safe with your friends
    Because they can't remember them either.

    18.
    Your supply of brain cells is finally down to
    A manageable size.


    19.
    You can't remember
    Who sent you this list.

    Charlie, em....re no9, .....I would forgo the spec's..........but wouldn't be able to drive!
