Live to 100

[realBabelfish]

I give myself 15 years. I'd really like to live to see 2066 though - a thousand years of 'modern' England!

do you think we might win another world cup by then?....

70's seems a reasonable age to get to, would like 100 if I am still going strong, not sitting about alone doing nothing/unable to do anything.

Just have to hammer past 54 and out do my dad.

Didn't see the program, what significance does fasting have?

God I hope not!

I'd hope not, unless I was mentally and physically ok. The latter I doubt though.

This. when i get to the point i cant go to the toilet for myself then its time to go.

I am hoping you realise he meant 1066 i.e. Battle of Hastings and not 1966 (World Cup) when he said 1000 years of modern England

I want to. I have a lunch scheduled with my friend on my 100th birthday. Good to plan ahead and have purpose.

Not much point in living to a 100 if you end up in a wheelchair shaking a rattle.

I'd be happy with 80/85. Although if by the time I reach that age and healthcare etc is advanced enough to keep me physically fit and mentally (not a cripple, wheelchair bound, unable to wipe my own ass etc) then I'd happily live as long as possible.

I doubt it - I have too much fun... and unfortunately, most things that are fun are detrimental to your health

 

[DrunkRufie]

Can't see it happening, even though i was very active growing up and through out my teenager years. but with me being a fan of drink and a smoker I can never see me hitting 100. Plus add on 5 years of partying and everything that comes with that doesn't help.

Why NOT do a Yossarian from Joseph Heller's Catch 22?

He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt.......

 

[Goldy]

Genetics are the main determining factor so given my family history its actually very possible I could live to 100.

 

[churchhawk]

Doubt it, i drink too much and smoke too much so its a near certain no no for me

 

[EdGey]

I don't see why not...

I plan to die a few years after I retire in a massive blaze of glory. I don't want to spend the last few years of my life the same way I started (ie: in nappies)

I would be happy to make it to late 70s, maybe 78. Can't see myself going past that being overweight but I do exercise a lot. I just eat too much. Year-wise, age 78 would be 2057 for me.

There is a difference between living to 100 and surviving to 100. I'd take the former and pass on the latter, please

You put it much better than I could have! Hence my plans go just to absolutely mental on retiring. I don't plan on having any dependants so it's party time!

 

[TFleming]

I'm not active enough and eat too much junk food, so not me!

Recent studies show that reaching 100 is far more down to genes than anything else. There's one study , can't remember the name, where they had 300 people over 100 do an interview, only 3 of them had been athletes and many of them had lead very ordinary lives, doing no more exercise than the common man.
