    No reason. Just intrigued. I just think that once you get past certain point - and 89 seems beyond that point - then whatever happens to you is down to age, not a specific illness.

    Not really. Cancer is cancer. It may be that you get it because you're old but in fact tends to work the other way... cancer kills younger people quicker. There is always a cause of death and old age isn't really a cause but a background to what's happening.

    Everyone gets what you mean, but there's always paperwork, isn't there and you can't just put "Pfft, who cares. He was two hundred years old " can you.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    But following through with this, in my experience the paperwork usually says 'multiple organ failure' as cause of death not cancer. Which is sort of my point. At that age surely the organs are failing any way. I'm only 52 and plenty of mine are....
