Is the Tortoise conveying the right message?

Options
I say Martin, its a bit dodgy putting Tortoises on your repensioning page. Some wrinklies might take exception.

Anyway, you admitted yourself that you are suffering from RSI at just over 30 so I don't hold out much hope for you personally in the far future, you will probably have seized up long before retirement.

To conclude Giant Tortoises can live to over 200 in the wild and they never retire, so I don't see a connection?

This is not advice - hopefully it's common sense..

    Actually the key to all the pictures is the caption. If you put your mouse over it you'll read the caption.

    However you've made me realise most people dont do this, so from now on we'll write the caption underneath. E.g the one in the tickets article looks a naff picture, but if you read the caption you'll see the point ;)

    Us Tortoises are obviously never to old to learn. 'Tool tips' is the correct term I remember?
