... year old body.

I'm sixty today although I don't feel it, or look it. :roll: :roll:

Party time tonight, and on Saturday, Sunday, Monday....

Wasn't fishing for compliments from you guys out there, and no laughing either, you will all be here sooner than you know it.

Been thinking a bit today though about all of my friends and aquaintances over the years who never made it this far, from my schooldays and time in the SAS. (thats "Supply and Secretariat") A drink to absent friends, I think.

Happy to be here, I'd rather be Sixty and in good health, than face the alternative! Only the good die young, so I should get a telegram from the Queen. (or King?)

Back in a few days after I sober up.

Kind regards,

Yours Aye,

Jimbo.
