    What a depressing thread Swanny. Is there something you need to talk about?

    Doctor Finn can help.
    Nope.

    I found the article really interesting and was curious to see how people on Kiwi Biker responded to it.

    I'm reading a book about the personality temperaments and another one called "Warrior Politics" at the moment.

    Just a learning exercise

    After ya get told "You won't see your next birthday" often enough everything else is easy...
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them
