My dad's still dancing at the grand old age of 80

I DON'T normally do this but its my dad's 80th birthday this week and I think getting to that age deserves a wee mention, don't you?

Happily, Jimmy is fit as a fiddle and still goes ballroom dancing four nights a week. I don't know how he does it at an age when many struggle to pick up the paper. He swears all that waltzing and tangoing keeps him fit.

I'm sure it does...but the fact that he has never smoked or drunk alcohol in his life may also help (note to self and all that).

Anyway, happy birthday dad.
