Average life expectancy for women here is 78 years. At some point it was around 80, methinks, but altogether it hasn't changed much. I think lifestyle has become healthier since soviet times. Then again, people don't get enough medical help as they can't afford to take a sick leave. Not to mention that part of the medicine is sort of out of the reach. Tricky stuff anyway. And I am not aiming 78 anyway, that doesn't go well with my pension plan.

As long as we get a few more yummy Danish actors in, I'm all for it... and Daniel Craig's chest every now and again

In our pension pl*n, Sho

Doesn't sound too bad.

Hati, remember to turn up here before your life age expectancy runs out. This summer you say, eh?

This summer. That's decided, I even have flight tickets.

I'll take yummy Danish actors as a pension plan

dang, i know i should have stuck to acting when i had the chance!

Maybe it's about a time to change the profession then?

nah, i'm too old to be yummy - again

That depends on s, of course.

the eye of the beholder? well, yes, but you know how much i hate to be a sex symbol anyway

You can't really help it, can you?

i'm w*rking on it. fat and alcohol seem to be the best options

all round, then?

*cheers*

Life expectancy is 53 here, retirement age 16.

I'm in a time machine

that's cheating!

but it's okay - since you're only cheating yourself

Dr. Strangelove is one of those movies that you need to be in the right mood to watch. But I can't imagine not liking Casablanca. In my quest to pick up some classic movies, I recently bought several Tennessee Williams films that I "thought" I remembered enjoying. Well, guess what? A couple of them put me to sleep. Our tastes change over the years, I suppose.

so do our sleeping patterns

I generally like old films though - but Cassablanca is like other American films from that era, they all talk too loud and too fast. I watched Singin' In The Rain (which was great) but boy do they shout! at 60 miles an hour.

Let's see...speed of sound in air roughly 765 mph give or take...but faster at higher temperature.

So either you were watching a slo-mo version, or it's *freezing* in your house, Sho.
