Not sure what to the think of this but he's obviously a game old sod fair play Grin

My great auntie died at 108 with all her faculties she didn't want to go but her organs started shutting down.
She was one of those that nearly died of the Spanish Flu (last rites etc) but was never ill after that so they always thought her immune system was boosted after that.

What a great old fella.

Incidentally, I had my last rites as a baby in 1967 (whooping cough epidemic).  The theory that it strenghtens us would be very welcome.

Great story.  I went on a French exchnage trip as a teenager and they served me tripe one day.  It's the first and last time I'll ever have it.  God it was vile.

TEN2FOLLOWER there could definitely be something in it especially if you don't get many colds if that's the case get well prepared for old ageGrin

I remember reading about a US doctor who contracted Ebola in the 1970's somewhere and survived,he seemingly developed a top notch immune system on the back of that.

There's a common sense downside ^^^
That's one of the reasons I wrote 'Not sure what to think of this' on my opening post.
Going to normal meetings is a hard enough day but Cheltenham is something else
