in short, we are a small group of has been athletes trying desperately to
follow mr. mcneill's admonishment about not "going gently into that good
night", or whatever he said. thus the refusal to let go of the excesses
of our youth and middle age.

...... or as Dylan (The Swansea lad) wrote:-

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

Sorry to hear of your infirmity Wayne. It is hard to let go of the excesses
of youth etct nearing 75 I'm slowing down a bit these days - I find 18 holes
a bit to much for me. Statins seem to have done for me :-(

Given them up now and the legs are surely imroving.

I'm a bit of a cheat writing to Roff as I don't fish these days
