But what's the point moaning. My generation is lasting much better than our
parents generation. My father died at 56. My mother made it into her seventies
but suffered dementia for her last few years.

Very true, and what we tend to forget..

Hey ho. I still work 5 days a week and enjoy what I do.

I reckon thats a very good thing if you like what you do and have a
reason to get up in the morning.

My dad is in his eighties. He has just given up his office at work that
they let him keep for some years after officially retiring, but he is
still working at home on his complex mathematical modelling calculations
of the Sun's oscillating modes. (He's a research physicist, specialising
in the Sun.)

So a man who loves what he does. Was true of myself for many years,
but Goldsmith and his worldwide takeovers put paid to that.
(Maybe I didn't help by failing to react in whatever was the proper
way, whatever that might be.)
