    If I lived to 100 (fat chance), my life would span from the first half of the twentieth century to the second half of the twenty first! :) :)

      So eating loads of Rosemary roasted potatoes (yum) will extend your lifespan? Fantastic news!

        Another reason I would not want to live to 100, or have that be the normal life expectancy is that they would then raise the age of retirement to 90 :yikes:

          Not if you roast them in fat/oil *tut tut*
          But no amount of rosemary can make a dry roasted spud taste good IMO

            They are going to anyway ...


            ... and if you die before 90, they are going to deduct the tax you would have paid towards your pension from your estate :whistle:

              If I make it to the eve of my 100th I'll be celebrating by easing my aches with rosemary rub, feasting on rosemary roasts and drinking rosemary infusion:lunapic 130165696578242 5: :old::hapfeet:

                :hate-shocked: Not all at the same time, I hope :oops:

                Remember: earlier in the thread it was pointed out it could be a *shh* hallucinogenic *shh* if taken in large quantities :whistle: In which case, you could wake up on your 100th and think you're only 21yo!!!!

                  If you die before 90, you will be buried with a laptop and mobile soyou can continue to work from the other side.

                          Oh I wouldn't mind being 21 again (but knowing what I know now) I'd have an absolute ball! :heehee: Can't say I can see the appeal of being 100 though :scratch: :dunno:

                            Already done that, but these days I'd be worried about how I'd get down from the ceiling without assistance.

                              I don't think that my life will be fantastic at 100 years so i prefer to live my life now as the last day of my life.
