Hi Seanrua

I'm older than I look!!!

Fk me!

I'd better start praying that you get early retirement too!

I am as old as I make myself .

Day by day - I - Try and get "Younger"

Oddly enough - it seems to work.

New Hobbies, - new interests - I try and find them !

The old "Libido" is increasingly eluding me tho'

An age-old problem!

Nature has found that silly old gits ( like me) who spend all their time, energy and money on horseracing, are not good prospects for further parenthood, so the sap valve gets closed a good few notches.

Still, twelve kids is enough for any man, so, perhaps it's all for the best.

The rest of it - trying to appeal to the sheilas when we're past our sell-by date - is only vanity at the end of the day ( which we have to grudgingly accept comes to us all).

Fkn depressing , isn't it? Bollx to 'em all, anyway!

Twelve?!! Blimey! No wonder you're knackered. Four was enough to wear me out. Mind you, I still like to practice!

Hey TC, be careful if you try those viagra tablets. My mate got one stuck in his throat and ended up with a stiff neck. He said he didn't really need them, but at least they stopped him rolling out of bed.

LOL

I've just found out that my infamous libido was due to having dangerously high blood pressure.

I'm now on medication, but can't get used to not hearing my heart-beat banging in my ears all the time - true

High BP is a dodgy number, Trojan. Take care!

As for viagra, most of us down the bookies have to take just half a tablet.
It stops us pissing on our shoes.

Nice to see that the VDW thread has come a long way in the last few days.

Very uplifting.

VDW has always been the "backbone" of Gummy !

It is a "lynchpin" around which all sorts of discussion can revolve.

Those who wanted it to concentrate around the "Old Books" are welcome to continue their waffling on "The Other Place"

I like it here. But I like "the other place" too.

Thanks Seanrua,

Yes, no laughing matter really, but I'm now on Ramipril which seems to be working.

It's a bit like the "old lady that swallowed a fly, who then swallowed a spider to catch the fly..etc" Because a side effect of Medication X for condition X is high BP...and Medication Y for condition Y increases appetite, which leads to weight increase, which leads to high BP...Medication Z is required to protect stomach lining from prescribed Medications....which also have side effects..etc..etc..etc

Don't I fkn know it, Trojan!

A nasty vicious circle that can turn into a steep downward spiral.

Only decent thing i've found is to lose weight.
Yes, always having been like a crack in a plate, I used to scoff and sneer at fat fkrs.
Never went near the scales; ate anything i fancied. No prob, I thought.

Well, I had an eyeopener.
Now I've fkd all the medication to the shithouse, and lost 21 lbs aiming for more.

D'you know, it's worked! Feel much better, though it was rough to start.

Sitting before these computers is a bastrd. No good for the health. It has to be counteracted by some sort of exercise.
As enjoyable, vigourous exercise would necessitate a heart transplant, a cock transplant, and a couple of barrowfuls of viagra, I'm having to make do with pocket billiards! A poor substitute.

Btw, getting back to vdw, whatever happened to JIB?
I fear some sinister happenings. Remember when he was getting in contact with VDW's supposed widow?
He never was the same since. What the fk happened, d'you think?
I did have an awful nightmare in which it turned out that Investor/Pro/Karen was ,in fact, the rightful heir to the whole vdw dynasty ( old booklets and all), but when I woke up we were all just talking about viagra.

Scary stuff, all the same.

Maria Christina Conceiçíon Rodriguez Van Der Wheil

As I understand it, he has eloped with Maria Christina and they are living in luxury in Rio de Janeiro. Since getting his hands on the diaries, he has discovered the greater enlightenment of betting the Van der Wheil way. Naturally, after all that has transpired, he could hardly come here and confess this. Therefore, ridden by guilt, he is living a life of drink, drugs and rock'n'roll.

Amen.

I wish I could be guilty, lucky bugger.

Beats growing all those flowers, i suppose!

JIB would be?? seeing this, is it dying, or have all the old posters gone to new pastures without the bitching.

Where have you been, Warrington?

Is it allowed to say what "the other place " is, - for the benefit of a new member?

Hi John... and welcome.

You'll need to register etc.

Hi John M,

Do you know anything about this VDW stuff?

All the guys who knew how to make it pay seem to have gone elsewhere, and the rest of us need straightening out on a few points.
