For those who know the thread starter, he is happy to be living past his "USE BY DATE" as from August 2007 they gave him 6-12 months to live.

I reckon you'd probably be pretty happy to have kept going this far too.

Happy birthday Clint.

Bit unreasonable to expect all the people on this forum to have empathy when they don't know the OP or his situation and the OP didn't provide any background information for them to be able to gain that understanding, don't you think.?!?!?

Anyway, all the (belated) best to you, Petrolhead. Glad you were able to prove "them" wrong. May there be many more birthday's to come, mate.
