And a fairly lucky one. Surviving that horror and then coping with 3 years in hospital and then living to be 100. Astonishing.He's certainly had a memorable life!

I’m guessing a couple of us may have experienced this first hand. My reaction is not sadness it has closed but astonishment it lasted so long.
Durham disco named the worst in Europe closes down after 50 years as Dominic Cummings (who used to work there) pays tribute to 'the best nightclub outside Moscow'
- Klute, known for its sticky dancefloors and cheesy tunes, shut on April 20

Isn't Klute a quick acting poison from the Jack Vance universe?Yes indeed! Klute was a mainstay when I was a teenager in the 1970s. I preferred the Rowing Club although I have never been keen on Northern Soul. Then I discovered motorbikes and pubs at about 13 and never went to either venue again.
One of my favourites. I love both Fonda and Sutherland.Klute was a 1971 film with Jane Fonda.
You have been busy Possum.It's been four busy days. Dentist, then routine breast cancer screening, then routine smear test, then optician.
One clean bill of health, two now waiting on results. And the very early stages of cataracts in one eye
You have been busy Possum.
I know that my energy levels definitely had dropped notably from quite a while back, but since the weather has picked up for the better (Sunny wise), I feel back to normal again. Might have something to do with the jabs depleting some energy/mood levels all-be-it temporarily, "so keep at it!"I've been really starting to feel my age these past couple months. I'm only middle aged, but I really can't imagine being old at the rate my body is deteriorating. I'm beginning to think the live-fast-die-young crowd were onto something.
I still spend ages most days looking for band/music-related t-shirts, badges etc to buy, as if I were young.
What are laser hunts, please?
What is "acting your age" mean? Just a question I think when I hear this phrase.I know there are legitimate reasons for this exasperating mindset, and it's not merely a case of me refusing to act my age, but nevertheless I feel like a strange or immature person.
Damn it, and I thought it was upwards and onwards from here on in!What is "acting your age" mean? Just a question I think when I hear this phrase.
We only have one life and why not be a little joyful at times? There are too many people who take themselves way too seriously.
Well unless you believe that you may be reincarnated, but I have considered this, and as (1) I don't want to come back to this world and (2) if there is reincarnation, my luck would be such that I would probably be allowed to return as a gnat, well, I prefer the one life ideaDamn it, and I thought it was upwards and onwards from here on in!
I don't think any of us will get the chance to have the choice, one way or the other?Well unless you believe that you may be reincarnated, but I have considered this, and as (1) I don't want to come back to this world and (2) if there is reincarnation, my luck would be such that I would probably be allowed to return as a gnat, well, I prefer the one life idea
I often find myself thinking that if I'd seen what life was going to be like when I'd got to my 70's I wouldn't have taken such good care to get here! A few more risks and if they didn't pay off at least I'd have spared myself this! Triple A is how I feel ie Angry, Achey and Alienated.I'm beginning to think the live-fast-die-young crowd were onto something.
Good for you Steven! Enjoy it and don't get exasperated with yourself! This is an order of the 'do as I say not as I do' variety by the way! Seeing your post has reminded me to take my own advice!I still spend ages most days looking for band/music-related t-shirts, badges etc to buy, as if I were young.
But you do. You choose the next body and parents and the life you wish to lead. So stop moaning about your lot. You picked it.I don't think any of us will get the chance to have the choice, one way or the other?
Yeah...I sleep with two dogs at the mo - just not under the blanket. (mugshots of the culprits)It was once argued that this saying came from Australia or Alaska, but “ a one dog night, or two dog night, or even a three dog night “ was to indicate how many dogs to take to bed in order to keep warm.
In my area, the elderly locals still use this winter’s expression, and even my parents used to say this to us when we kids.
I adore my Totoro tshirts Steven...All Daughters call me a nerd for some reason, but still watch my collection of Studio Ghibli If I put them on.I'm well again, thankfully, but I find myself incredibly frustrating - I still spend ages most days looking for band/music-related t-shirts, badges etc to buy, as if I were young. I know there are legitimate reasons for this exasperating mindset, and it's not merely a case of me refusing to act my age, but nevertheless I feel like a strange or immature person.
