Racoon Down

I know there are a few 'Rides List' lurkers here who may not read the
list anymore, so if you haven't heard, Tony Young a.k.a. Racoon died
yesterday from a stroke, aged 44. He was a top bloke & a good mate -
I'll miss him.

RIP Racoon.

44! Erk. Not a good innings.

 

Not bad if he was English.

 

Indeed :-(

I can see why you might think that, but don't forget that for every
punter that shuffles off, not having made their threescore and ten, we
the survivors have to live that much longer to make up the average.

Not that you have anything to worry about: "Only the good die young".


Sorry you lost your mate though, Krusty.

 

Commiserations.

 

Better to die young & happy than be stuck in a nursing home , bed
ridden having to wear nappies and being fed by the care staff not even
recognising your family

May as well say goodbye now then, eh?

 

"my whole life is motivated by the fear that, at any point in time,
someone somewhere is having more fun than me"

Doesn't sound like much of a challenge for the rest of us.

 

I've often thought this.

 

But you haven't _died_ either. At least, not before 18 Jan 2007
at 15:43:48...

You must be a quivvering wreck the rest of the time then.

 

Personally, that would be a fucking fantastic way to go out after
having also had the being young and happy bit.

Where do I sign?

 

Very.

 

Two more days and I kiss goodbye to my 20s.

Hurrah for cheap insurance.

Oh. Bugger.

 

Hmmm. 30.

Aha! 30.

Oh - 30 - nowt to worry about there, son: how old were your parents
when they died? 30, was it ... ?

 

35, actually.

 

Following that logic, I'm really safe then.

 

Younger *and* taller than I look.
