      Judging from my father and grandfather I only have three years left although I am hoping the 40+ a day fags had something to do with the first and the knife in the gut something to do with the second.

        As an aside, Egyptian Pharaohs only had a life expectancy in the mid 40s (and their plebs 10 years less than that). Doubt it was poor diet that killed them.
        Rameses II died aged 96 and had over 100 children
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                OK, sorry I was unclear. I mean that what I owe on the current house is almost as much as I bought it for; i.e. the house-buying has just started, rather than being done or almost done (as would be the case for the house I was buying before I got divorced).
