Hi John.
Could be one of mine, I will be 92 next month. Went to see the DR for my injection, haven't seen this Dr for twelve months, he jumped up and said. "when the hell did you become 92."

#2 Hi Des ,on reading some of your posts it sounds like you are in very good health for your age ,and i hope this continues. My great grandfather reached the grand old age of 102, and was a fisherman into his mid 80s and was never in bad health or in hospital. There's a role model for you to keep going
