I don't wish to alarm you flecc, but who's the biggest celebrity on here?

I don't wish to alarm you flecc, but who's the biggest celebrity on here?

I'm not worried because I've never been a celebrity in my own mind. Having been dumped on this earth, of necessity without being asked, I just try to make the best of my stint.

I had my philosophy of life established by age 20, and ever since then have said this about the subject of my death. "I'm ready to die at any time, even before the end of this sentence".

Saying that did upset my doctor though!

I'm keeping fit, this morning lugging around half a tonne of shingle and a half cubic meter of woodchip, doing some path repairs in our nature reserve. I'd have done more but it was bit too cold on my hands today.

Doing this during November/December I've lifted over 30 tonnes on this project, not bad for an 80 year old.

Now you're making feel guilty, all I've done is twenty miles on my bike, and part polished the car.
But I'm making up for it now, I'm getting stuck into the whisky.
