Men How to Live Longer
If you want to live longer, quite why you would I’m not sure, personally I’m about done with already, then there are a few things that will help or provide indications as to your prospects.
The study is not just the usual potboiler garbage. Properly conducted, it has spanned a period of 40 years and involved over 6,000 men.
The results cleary highlighted 9 indicators that rose to the top amongst the most healthy and longest surviving. They are:
-
Not being overweight
Having low blood pressure
Low blood sugar levels
Low cholesterol
Not drinking alcohol excessively
Not smoking
Having a strong grip
Achieving a high level of education
Being married
All I need to do in order to drag this ennui out for even longer is to stop smoking, stop drinking and get married. I shall then hold a nap hand and live forever - gr8 (yoof txt talk)
Being a tea-total, non-smoing hen pecked husband sounds like hell. Given I expect to go to hell anyway I’ll take the fast track rather than live in purgatory for another 40 odd years.
Any alternate ideas for extending one’s life, without making it a misery in the process?

If I was to get married and be stuck with the same bloody woman for the rest of my life I’d hang myself !
How does hanging myself extend my life expectancy ?
More scientific claptrap
Keep it Up!

Rod, not so fast my friend, have you forgotten the Tuesday gang retirement home for old philosophers, artists, free thinkers and bunny girls.
Our tip for long life is ….. avoid all projectile sugarbeets and golf balls.
How’s the DC workout coming along …. does it teach you to pout and swagger? Learning to pout and swagger in certain areas of Grimsby probably reduces life expectancy, better be careful. WoE

Nope.
You don’t actually live longer. it just SEEEEMS longer.
The site is looking great, by the way.

So the nunnery and monastery for us both so we can live until our dotage. Grrrrreat!!!!!
Do you want someone to join you jumping off that Humber Bridge that you have mentioned before?!!

WoE
the Goldeneye retirement plan I suggested remains a good one I think. I may flesh it out for those unable to attend on Tuesday’s.
Amen to avoiding projectiles and moving objects, in your case sugarbeets, in mine
Golfballs
Roof slates
People on uni-cycles
Curtain poles
Stones flying through partially opened car windows on the A46
etc etc
The DC workout is going well. I am keeping it up (ooo er). There are now some noticable differences but only for those willing to look closely.
It may be some time before the results manifest themselves whilst fully clothed.
The only time I pout is when I don’t get my own way and the only time I swagger is about 1.30 in the morning !

Hugh
bang! you hit the nail on the head.
Perhaps years, for men, are like cat, dog or horse years? I’m sure it’s one of them.
I seem to have been around for twice as long as my age suggests.
Thanks for taking the time to comment
Regards

Jordan,
fear not neither the Humber Bridge nor religious institutions beckon us.
You could become a commune member of the Goldeneye retiremnet home when the time is right.
It will be a good wheeze, and in all seriousness strikes me as, theoretically a good idea.
It’ll soon be the weekend, hang in there

Unfortunately I don’t think I could afford your Retirement Home fees Mr Collins, I imagine La casa Goldeneye to be very manly and luxurious.
As for the nunnery, I probably would have to set up my home in the confessional!

Jordan,
you may be surprised at the affordability of my idea.
I shall flesh it out in a new post later. Must dash as I’m off back into town for more YSL jumpers !
Prost

I trust you went unscathed from the shopping trip, apart from your wallet that is!
Have you bought every colour now that co-ordinates with your socks and scarves?
You should get rid of the summertime Rod and replace it with the winter version incorporating the new ensemble.
PS. Got the mirror pic, can’t say I am impressed very amateur!
Disappointed Jordan

Jordan,
shopping trip quite successful, once again unable to find jeans but did get another 2 YSL’s, I now have all the colours I like.
Also managed to buy underwear - staggering, it’s usually impossible as shops only stock boxers etc and I too don’t do big pants!
What’s good for the goose.
Been trying for months to find some
I had to go to lincoln to buy some the other week. House of Fraser had 2 pair today so I got those.
Add to that one case of wine and some low fat pate and I’m a happy camper.
Sorry you’re unimpressed with the picture, I thought it looked quite arty and moody though the inception was, admittedly, amateurish
best
