Absolutely. I can even out-awkward myself though - despite my previous post I was actually being Devils Advocate. I lost my class 3 medical and a place in the RAF when I was 19 through serious illness. It took me 5 years to get it back. Noone could have possibly seen that coming.
I look after myself much more than I did then and am now (touch wood) healthier for longer than ever before - though that doesn't make me ipso-facto healthier than a 21yr old.
Anyway I am arguing against myself here. If I thought age was a serious impediment I wouldn't be here would I... good luck all fellow Grey-viators (sorry!)
