        If I pop me cloggs, I'm sure people will figure it out. Certain key people have my direct contact details, should I go silent without explanation.

        For some reason, this reminds me of something spooky that happened when I was 5. My nanna died. Not unusual, that sort of thing happens. I dreamed of her afterwards. Again not unusual. Except in this dream, instead of being her usual jolly self, she was serious. She led me by my hand to a cupboard in the the back room, and showed me that the floor of the cupboard was a a false floor. A thin panel lifted up to reveal lots of important looking papers. My parents had search in vain for these papers (though I didn't know what they were searching for, being too young to understand). In my dream, my nanna was adamant that I tell the grown-ups what she'd shown me and said she couldn't tell them herself because they wouldn't listen. Next day we went round there, and I mentioned it. I got told off for upsetting my mam, but I went to said cupboard anyway, and managed to peel up the false floor panel. I was told some years later that that's where they found the will and insurance documents etc.

          I made a few comparisons:

          Each increase, of one, on my BMI costs me about a year's life

          If I increase my drinking from once a month (in practice I drink less than that, but not "never") to twice-a-week (which I would regard as "light") that costs me 5 years

          But best of all I've decided to have the "Op". Changing to Female will get me an extra 5 years :)

                If I put my DOB as 1905, with my debauched lifestyle I get to live for 111 years (I put the worse response for every answer):

                GC death clock.JPG

                But if I change my DOB (but not changing my lifestyle, and again putting the worst response for every single answer) to 2013, I find it's reduced to 30 years:

                GC death clock2.JPG


                OMG, has Life Expectancy/NHS/etc. really deteriorated that much since Edwardian times? Or does that death clock site dish out a load of tosh?
