He'll be flattered though, to be thought of as 5 years younger than me instead of 17 years older!<br /><br />Of course, Dave, I say when we were married every year. I remember saying that our long marriage is the achievement I'm most proud of and being asked about that. I've never said before how old the Sage is however, although I've referred to his being a pensioner.<br /><br />Thanks, LOMZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-40471529054329098072009-05-22T18:03:54.981+01:002009-05-22T18:03:54.981+01:00I am not even going to atempt it, Have a lovely on...I am not even going to atempt it, Have a lovely one what ever number it islomhttp://anewwayoflife08.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-35548418097631771142009-05-22T17:40:48.354+01:002009-05-22T17:40:48.354+01:001984?1984?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346682505354790114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-40909917592942806222009-05-22T17:40:22.257+01:002009-05-22T17:40:22.257+01:00Oh, by the way, in your post of the 9th February l...Oh, by the way, in your post of the 9th February last year, you mentioned that you got married in 1973.

No three-line whip.
