Well, if the training doesn't get him to the finish line, the beer and cigarettes will.

"If I finish, I'll do what I always do and have a pint and a fag," he said. "People ask what is my secret but I haven't got one. They say fags and booze are bad for you -- but I'm still here, aren't I?""

How do you respond to that? Good for this guy!

saw this in our paper this morning! what a hoot he is!!

Retrired at 97 - went back to work at 99 because he was 'bored'! and 17!!!! kids!!!!

If I live to 101 I hope I can be like him! (although I don't smoke and rarely drink....so maybe my chances of that just fell through the floor!)...
