You're Scottish. 37 basically makes you Jiroemon Kimura.

Is it just me or does there seem to be an disproportionate number of Scotsmen (and women I suppose) on this site?

It's a well known fact that to be a DL member, you must be Scottish, LGBT+ and/or neurodivergent. Anyone else is very likely an impostor.

Old age is fucking shite. If I die when I’m 50 I’ll be content with what I’ve achieved and happy to have indulged. 

Am 58 and agree 100%, both my parents lived to ripe old age but spent their final 2 years having carers do everything for them, I would rather enjoy my wine, steaks, burgers, and have a fatal heart attack at 60 having fun than live to 90 and have a carer wipe my ass

Scottish (but not to the nationalists), dead from the neck down and probably a tiny bit neurodivergent (my excuse for being a difficult bastard).

I'm an impostor then.

I also went to the same school as Big Keith, to bring things back on topic.

Ewen MacIntosh, who appeared in the Office has died aged 50. The Sun

That’s too bad, he’d have been a shoo-in for the role in the 2027 movie ‘Steve Wright: Sad Last Days’. Or even in ‘Stephen Bunting: How I Came to Rule the PDC’.

Peter Kay would have been perfect before he lost a few stones.

That's a shame. I was watching The Consultant recently and she was very good in that.

Or a cunt. Don't forget the cunts. A very important subsection of the membership.

Bobby Power played the bully.

 

Hence the reason they didn't give it to bloody Gordon:

I really liked There's Only One Jimmy Grimble. Nice little northern film about the love of football, centred around Man City before the oil money came (and the move from Maine Road). Decent cast too: Robert Carlyle, Ray Winstone, Gina McKee, John Henshaw and a young Samia Ghadie from Corrie as Jimmy's love interest.

[Thatcher 2,400]

Colin Bennett (IMDb) reported to have died in February. Most know as the caretaker in Take Hart and Hartbeat, but also appeared in Last of the Summer Wine, Casualty, The Bill etc.
