Jump right in and have your say, you'll find something for everyone in here. The General Discussion Topics cover everything that's not covered in our specific topics. Start your day with a giggle in the "Laugh of the Day", or put your two cents worth in on what's happening in the world, or your own backyard right now, by posting into "In Today's News", or if you can't find exactly what you're after, perhaps start a Topic of your own!

This forum is to discuss the myriad of health problems that are beginning to arise, as our ageing bodies fight to stay on top.
