    Thankyou “Trog”! You have put into words exactly what I should have tried to explain is the situation.

    It’s too early in the day for my ancient and seemingly addled brain to get up to speed. Perhaps it’s time for me to retire from the fray? Well, perhaps not , but the time is getting close!

    Don't! You've got too much left to teach us.

    You are so kind. I am afraid that I am not as sharp mentally as I was and I don't like that. Realistically, my time is inevitably going to run out. I hasten to add that I am not working to any particular schedule though!

    Eh..? What..?

    Retire from the fray..?

    Sorry old chum, the small print of your contract shows you've signed up for the duration. So nothing doing!

    As our hero JRJ says in Whisky Galore, it's a well-known fact that most men are born a double whisky below par, so have a dram and you'll soon be feeling up for it again.

    Anyway, you're like the anchor-man in our tug-o-war team - if you let go of the rope, we all fall...

    Sorry chaps I didn’t mean to cause alarm and I am fine. It’s just that I have just realised that I am not as young as I thought I was and I am not liking it! As they say , “there is no fool like an old fool”! And your spontaneous kind words have given me a proverbial kick in the backside, and caused me to seriously reconsider my position. Thank you.

    So please, carry on carrying on.
