Living forever would be a great idea but actually living it out won't be a great idea.

The idea has merit - think of all the tax HMG could rake in plus a reduced pension duration, less biddies cluttering up the roads

Whats not to like ?

It's only a problem if you make it airborne by drilling / sawing etc... wear a mask, spray with water mist, gently remove it and bag it

Even your local tip should take it

Been burning some wood from an old mill I volunteered at in my open fire. Discovered yesterday that treated wood from back then contains arsenic and should never be used on fires.

You're looking good on it.

There's only so much I can do in my basement.

Some posters would end up like that if they ever attended the meet-ups.

Thanks for that.

What's the point of living to 100+ if you don't enjoy a single moment of any of it? I don't want to spend my final days eating through a straw, thanks very much.
