I expect to be dead in 30 years too.

Blimey Will. Not looking forward to a long retirement then.

Methinks I should be around in 30 years, and going by pensions and the like,
I'll probably still be working!


Just being sort of realistic Nick.

I'm 55 now and I retire fully at 60. If I die, say at 84, then that will be 24
years, over a quarter of my life, doing what I want to do, not what someone else
wants me to do. If I live longer than 84 and stay healthy then so be it. 84 will
be a good innings by anyone's standards. Does anyone on this group admit to
being over 84?

But will you still be playing skittles when you are 83?

You might just have to change your technique as the years pass by!

Hi Mike, we have the Turkey Shoot tonight (team killer), I'm still throwing
myself down onto the alley as I release the ball but not quite as hard now as a
concession to age. I hope to continue for as long as possible as well as hill
walking, sailing, badminton, DIY, gardening etc.

I'll send you the average update next week.

You're not doing so bad yourself either old man :-)
