Funny thing, Old Fred was 8 years younger than me. Last week, I was watching what now seems to be his last journey in his Steam Roller-- and had to take rests. Perhaps this was his 'Swan Song'. It was prostate cancer.

A hint, dear Sirs,  to get that check and hopefully an 'All clear'

I don't like talking about Fred like this but I understood he had bladder cancer.
Met him once and he was just like he appears in the programmes.

My co worker from England introduced me to watching Fred. Hadn't seen this one so I DL'ed it to watch on the train ride to work.

And yeah, not me. Heights and I do not like each other...

I'm with you there Eric. It's not so much the height that bothers me. It's what kind of footing I have below me. If I can feel it move beneath my feet......   :(

This is another occupation I would not want. Note the static charge generated by the rotor blades slicing through the air.  :bugeye:
