He drank like a fish at Silvers night club.

He was a nice guy though - to everyone.

82 is a good age to get to.

I remember how physically large Derryn was -
he was a huge man built like a professional wrestler.
You could never tell that from his TV shows.
He looked like a man you could punch and your fist would bounce off his face
and not hurt him.  Smiley

At Silvers - he sang the song - "you are so beautiful" from Joe Cocker
while the piano player backed him.
He could actually sing quite well - even with a gut full of piss.

Yeah, if Derryn could make it that far, I might struggle to make it to 60.
