    Yes, saw it on the news.

    I hope the old boy comes through ok.

    Time they let him take it easy.

    Well, he's 91... and he's only recently allowed anyone to mention why he was Mentioned in Despatches following the Battle of Matapan.

    He did say last year that he would be taking things a little easier... he could try actually taking things a little easier, but it's most unlikely that he will.

    Another thing that he does not like to see mentioned is that he was a very early active participant in the conservation of wildlife, as President of the World Wildlife Fund.

    It will be evident that I admire him immensely, and wish him well.

    He's remarkable considering his age.
    He should try to cut down on his hectic lifestyle, but I guess in many ways that's what keeps him mentally and physically active.

    He's a tough old boy and I hope he recovers fully.
    Even these common issues and the associated treatments can be quite difficult at 90

    And I'll bet he's not a 'good' patient. I know I'm not

    Well, the hospital threw him out today... he is an admirably tough old bird and would no doubt agree with the Buddha that "Strenuousness is the immortal path; sloth is the way of death!"

    91.

    I think I'll have been well-recycled by that age.
