Yesterday I read an article stating that a simple new measure of healthy ageing is the length of time a person can stand on one leg. I have since found several articles on the subject – here’s one –...

So yesterday I told you in my shopping post that I went into the Vodafone shop to see why I couldn't vote for people on Strictly using my mobile phone. He said it was probably because I had a spending cap on my phone and he gave...

Max Crisp @sharonelton No, but he is, and many who have been in relationships have split up after appearing. I’m sure he isn’t Katya’s type, but his current girlfriend might get jealous regardless.

They say that you learn from experience, and also that experience is what you get right after you need it. Today I learnt that I should just keep my mouth shut instead of trying to be helpful. I have scrapped my car (it had...

Max Crisp Welcome to rip-off Britain! There was a time you would get a rebate for the unused time, but not anymore. I also don’t like this trend of auto-renewal. If it wasn’t for that, you could have just let the time lapse and ignore any contact...

Max Crisp @sharonelton Fortunately Wynne got through without your added support. I thought he was at risk of at least being in the bottom two, but he must have lots of fans like yourself keeping him in. Once it gets down to the best dancers he’ll be out....

Max Crisp I saw this in the Daily Mail a few days ago. It’s called the ‘Flamingo test’ or ‘Flamingo challenge’. Like you I had to give it a go. For my age group (60 to 69) I had to exceed 30 seconds on my non-dominant leg, which I did with no problem at...

Max Crisp @FourWalls I am. You have a similar taste in music to me and also bring to my attention some new stuff I wouldn’t normally hear, plus lots of interesting facts. I do remember that Gordon was once dating Cathy Smith, who was convicted of killing John Belushi....

Max Crisp @flapiz No, I don’t do Halloween. It was ‘Penny for the guy” when I grew up and turnips for lanterns. A dangerous job carving those mind.

I don't think of myself as 'elderly'. To me, they are very fragile, shrunken, and delicate. I think of myself as about 30-40 cognitively speaking. Physically I feel 80+. But I just read somewhere online that those over 65 years...

Max Crisp Another cracker from the recently deceased Gordon Lightfoot. This one doesn’t get much airplay over here, but it should. If I Could Read Your Mind, I hear often, and rightly so as it’s an all-time classic, but he has so many other top tunes....
