Thank you for your kind wishes and in joining me in the so-called dotage. May we take great pleasure in gainsaying the specious wisdom of inevitible decline as I look to one of my all-time heroes, David Attenborough!!

Persist with the ramblings of a dottard, if you will, for a moment.
Over 40 years ago I posted a, for me, rare letter to a newspaper (Colwyn Bay Chronicle, I think) in which I laid out the thinking that the first "immortal" was already alive on the earth. The concept of old age was, just then, beginning to be considered by some a disease rather than a natural process. Of course, today, this is greatly speaking being taken for granted as the ageing mega-rich are frantically pouring there funds into the branches of Gerontology concerned with "curing" this disease, stopping it, and in time reversing it. Whether the likes of myself, and may I say yourself, will be in time to take advantage is doubtful...but who knows. We can live in hope. The first beneficiaries, obviously, will be the big investors. Social disruption? Sure. Maybe climate change will render my "immortal" merely a passing shade!

Needless to say, my letter was not published!

Good luck to you in addition to your betting skills.
