There's just been a little old man on our local news.
He's 104 and they interviewed him on his plot-he had his daughter working on it whilst he was chatting
He was fantastic!

Just out of curiosity you understand, how old was the daughter?
104 - 20 = 84 :twisted:

Just in case you missed it, someone who celebrated being 100 recently collected 25,000 quid from William Hill. When he was 90 he put a 100 pound bet on that he'd make 100 they gave him 250:1 odds.
I especially liked his comment "It's a no loose situation, if you die first you're hardly going to be that bothered, and if you do make it to 100 you're quids in" :lol:

I heard him on the radio. His advice to live to 100 was to work as little as possible, go on lots of holidays, and remember to keep breathing. Sounds like good sense to me. :lol:
