I do sometimes think it's a bit of a pisser that we are only a couple of generations from living forever.

Current theory is the 'Longevity Escape Velocity' - where by Medical advances are increasing the average life expectancy by more than one year every year.

Current predictions range from 12-20 years.

(Thank Nicks Monday posts for that0

All I can say is dont wait!
Himself is currently terminally ill and by the time he was diagnosed was too ill to travel or do an awful lot.
If you have a bucket list, dont wait till you know your time is near as you simply may not be fit enough to do anything.
Try and enjoy your life as much as you can as you really dont know when your number will be up - or in what manner you will be leaving.

I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

Meanwhile, the Spelling Escape Velocity has hit a brick wall!

What you gain on the swings, I guess you lose on the roundabouts!

Very sorry indeed to hear that.
