Duke

Congratulations to the Duke of Edinburgh who was 90 yesterday.  Is he really 90?  I fear he looks no older than me . . .

He tried to sound 90 in his interview,

"I reckon I've done my bit so I want to enjoy myself a bit now, with less responsibility, less frantic rushing about, less preparation, less trying to think of something to say," he said. "On top of that, your memory's going - I can't remember names and things."

In the light of which it is somewhat strange that his wife bestowed upon him a new name/title to remember - that of Lord High Admiral, a title that was hers until yesterday. 

Isn't that marriage?  You get to your 90th birthday and for a present the wife decides you should be doing one of her chores to help her out . . .
