The lndependant reports that scientists have found evideleft
that
suggests that the ability to stand on one leg for more than ten seconds
can determine how much longer middle aged to elderly people can expect
to live ??
Apparently the inability indicates that you have less than ten years left
to shuffle on this mortal coil !!!
Gonna try it tonight !!
Donkeyman! 
Don’t care, as long as I do the decade out. 
Funnily enough, someone said this on Friday at my exercise class.
You’re stuck with me till I’m a 100 then, because I just did it for 43 seconds.

How long ya got left Donks?
I can do it, but I’m sure something else will catch up with me!
BUT before you all get over confident because you can do it too, this is the big one…….
Can you do it with your eyes closed?
Try, but make sure you’ve got something to catch hold of if you start to fall. Because it’s a bigger test of balance because you don’t get the visual input of looking at fixed objects

I can stand for ages on my right leg…not so long on my left leg and I fall over if I close my eyes…not sure what my results mean…probably that I won’t live forever

Takes all my effort to stand on both legs, never mind one. Afraid I must remain ignorant, besides I don’t want to spoil the surprise
