oh man, here it comes.
They who are 10 now and have the prospect of excessive wealth may live to be 300 years old.

Those whom ares 20 now are probably going to live to at least 150.

Thems who am 30 now will probably only make averagely make 103

I'm 40, I shall probably make 6o(what with my lifestyle and the state of motorway traffic these days) so without sci-fi style medical intervention if I stop eating bacon and pay attention to buses when I cross the road.

It used to be the cool chic thing to say that you'd rather die than get old.

Well, you're wasting a lot if you'd rather take that crazy motorcycle leap off Spag's Cleft in front of an audience of admiring chicks, like Fonzie and the shark.


A throwaway romantic gesture, a v-sign to society, a fuck-you gesture to your parents as you choose to die to piss them off?

I find that the longer I engage with life, the better I am able to deal with it.

It's not so much a case of FIGHT THE POWER as 'kick financial expedience in the balls'

On the other hand, he looks like Rasputin, and I'm sure that has to count for something.
