    How are you posting from the afterlife ?
    Here's to a long life and a merry one
    A quick death and an easy one
    A pretty girl and an honest one
    A cold beer and another one!

    Maybe update the last bit to social network sites maybe, except this one..

    Although the Older generation are more IMO into Gaming possibly depending on their lifestyle.

    I know of a certain young sprog squaddie who would rather spend an evening browsing social networking sites and this site than go out on the booze! And no, he isn't gay (well, I don't have personal proof of that but he does take a healthy interest in my eldest daughter).
