    Freddie? Mercury?

    Not my type - not a fan of the 'tash (although my lovely dad :A had one)

    Nah, not Mr Mercury...rather Mr Ljungber. Go on then, I'll post a pic...just for you...

    OMG I have found out today that a woman I know quite well, her husband went out to walk the dog yesterday morning and dropped dead with a heart attack.......................aged 43:eek:

    My husband is 43 and is about the same build as this man was. Scary isnt it, and very sad, he leaves 3 girls age 20, 17 and 15:(

    I really do gripe on about nowt sometimes and when things like this happen it just makes you stop and think for a second or two.

    I do worry about OH health alot:o He has such a poor diet, drinks a bit too much, smokes cigars and does not exercise...........I am worried that he is a at high risk from something like that happening too.


    its hard to get the balance right between worrying lots and enjoying what you have. Sorry about your friend tho, that is so sad, with the girls and his wife. horrible actually.

    sneak more veg in somehow? could you go for romantic (power!) walks

    sorry not much help really.

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    That is one of the reasons I have to loose a bit of weight and took up running. I have a family history of HA's GDad 58, Dad 52 so its up to me to do something about it.

  • Of course it's that Freddie!! (you posted a pic the other day - how could I forget!)

    He's very pretty isn't he. I prefer this dodgy looking geezer (hope this works - first time I've tried to cut & paste a picture)

    PHWOOOOOOOAAAARRRR :kisses2:

  • I'm in agreement on the lovely Stephen Fry.. he is clever, funny and just a bit naughty (and he was rather good looking when he was younger) ;) Alan Davies too, to a lesser extent, although he kinda reminds me of a big puppy.
