I liked the wartime quote from an Aussie in the bar at some OM, somewhat peeved at a jockstrapper's rants about fitness training:
"If yer want to get yerself fit, blue, get yerself a heavier glass!"
I've turned 50 and continue to do my fitness test (and pass it), even though I am in the 'back of beyond'.
Isn't it still mandatory for the over-50s (assuming they're not in the middle of nowhere)?
