                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Actually, Middle-age should be, pedantically speaking - and if we take the biblical three-score-years-and-ten as standard - from 23 years and 4 months to 46 years and 8 months.......<br><br>So Lefty, along with a lot more of us, is now officially in his dotage - and has been for a while! <br><br> :D  :D  :D <br><br>Vic

:D <br><br>My father and father-in-law both croaked at 75, so I've been working on the notion that 1-25 is Youth, 26 - 50 is the Middle Age, and Old is 50 - 75. After that it's "Borrowed Time".  :twisted:  So I'm prepared to give him a few more months yet before he joins us in his dotage. Or as I prefer to call it, my  'anec-dotage' - i.e. that time of life when you tell your mates rambling stories that start with "Stop me if I've told you this before...." - to which they reply "It won't matter if you have mate, I won't remember it anyway...."  :wink: <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Chris]]></content:encoded>
