Just because you are going to live longer doesn't mean you will be having-it-large. You will just spend longer sitting in your own wee reminiscing on the good old days.

I think that as you got out early and stayed off the deep fried pizza, you might be surprised by how long you'll last.

As Samuel Johnson said: "Much may be made of a Scotchman, if he be caught young."

I read somewhere that male life expectancy in some parts of Glasgow is lower than that of India as a whole.

I spot a flaw with your analysis. There is no finer post-pub food.

Must be too warm down in the tropics. After the pub its freezing - you need to warm up - some room temp pasty isn't going to help.

Scoffing temp is the way to go. Not too hot and not fridge cold. Blast it down, 'ansome.
