    Nice one.
    Perhaps you're a bit younger than I, but I was given this book in the 80s as
    a budding student of pure maths and physics. It was quite a phenomenon back
    then and delved into (speculated on) anti-gravity machines, black holes,
    NASA research facilities and other 'mysterious' places and happenings of the
    time. I haven't read it in years but there's still quite a following I'm
    told. Just do a Google search and you'll see it.
    Hmm... perhaps you're a similar age! :)

    Cheers,

  2. I bet you get variations on that one as often as I get asked what the
    weather's like up here...
    Well, I remember when the older kids in school thought themselves hard for
    listening to Iron Maiden...

    Either way, you've got a lot more money than I do... :)

    Um... perhaps it's more a case of me having priorities that have little to
    do with conventional thinking (such as that of my wife for example...).

    I think I'll be out on my ear if something isn't changed soon... the
    pressure to pitter patter. Aaaaagh! :)

    Cheers,
    Dave

    I said send me back to Norfolk Island. A funeral only costs $50 over there.
    The big cost is getting a body over there.

  8. Not being a scientist at all, I prefer the idea that little nanotech
    bugs zip round optimizing my dna, and I stay the equivalent of 25 years
    old for as long as I want to, before I either pull the plug or have an
    accident that is too severe to survive nano bugs or not, like hitting a
    immovable object at 800 + Km/h on my whatever is the equivalent of a
    motor bike in the future, or the sun going red giant and being stuck on
    this planet while it gets engulfed by the sun in a couple of billion
    years or so :)

    Just have to stay alive long enough for the bright people working on
    tiny things to come up with the goods :)

    Mark.

    Sure, he's packed it on a bit, but he's not to bad
    for a man of his age leading a fast-paced lifestyle.

    You'd probably like this book then (assuming you haven't already read it):

    I wish they'd hurry up: I'd rather stay 31 forever than 93!

    Christ no; I was a dickhead at 25!
    (I was a dickhead at 31 and 42 too!)
    I'm looking forward to getting old and wise and then getting some peace in a nice warm box (or urn)....

    I just wish the youngun's weren't so iggerant!

  13. I borrowed a signed copy of it from a mate. Stan Deyo is a nutcase. He has
    a massive Tesla coil in his garage.

    You think 45 is old?

    Geezus!

    It looks pretty damned young to me. Bloody whippersnappers. Wet behind
    the ears. My son will be 45 in another 7 years. I have no probs riding
    a pushie now. At 50 I did a 200 km day and also (with my son) a 300 km
    weekend. I still manage to amuse myself by doing some firefighting in
    my spare time. I always seem to get the 8 pm to 3 am shift. I spent
    ten days of 14 hour days in NSW last summer playing fireman. My dad,
    however, is starting to feel his age. They're taking his licence away
    due to his eyesight and he's only 89.

    My father would've been turning 97 next month had he not died in 1973 [when I was 13].
    I'm obviously at the other end of a family to you Theo!

    I changed my sig, but you won't change your routine, Theo.

    It's just not fair.
