In the papers today I saw that a simple blood test could predict how long you have to live. www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9689759/A-blood-test-to-reveal-how-long-you-have-to-live.html

I suppose it could have its uses (no point wasting £50 on a new pair of boots then - may as well blow it all on chocolate) but I really don't want to know when I am going to shuffle off this mortal coil. I like to think I have a whole lot more living to do - and if that is not to be the case then I'd prefer to enjoy my time without chalking each day off
