Charnwood, good wishes mate.

His dad's a total ******** and no roll model, the worst example for someone to follow!
Now, his stepdad is a totally different kettle of fish. ;)

His mum and I are proud of him as a parent and of how he started his business from scratch.
He's a motor technician, worked on racing engines for quite some time, got a call from Mercedes out of the blue a couple of months ago offering him an interview. He declined due to the job involving being away from his daughter too much.


It was his stepdad I was referring to, sorry. :oops:

Age is a relative thing, apparently.
Well, I've got relatives that are older than me so I feel OK about my 'real' age. ;)

Bugger your real age!

You're as old as feel "up there".

I feel knackered physically, but feel young in me head: Mrs Secure reckons I'm 11.... ;)
 
A man's as old as the woman he feels. But it's rude to ask a woman's age, so how much does your misses weigh? :D
 
I'm happy to discuss this further if the mods will split this into a different thread.

I don't want to jam up Charnwood's thread.
 
Have we missed your birthday???
Yes. It was yesterday, 21st.

That was also my birthday on the 21st October. We must both be cool and calm Librans!

A school friends father was diagnosed with something terminal and he set about completely sorting out all his affairs down to the last nut. Selling his collection of vintage cars etc.

He had flown Lancaster bombers during the war and I think doing 83 sortees which was very unusual because very few ever survived very many. Possibly he was on the high altitude runs which were far safer.

After the war he was seconded, in RAF uniform, to BOAC after the war ended and retired as a senior captain from flying BA's Boeing 747s although he admitted he felt they were at the limit of his abilities to manage such a complicated plane.

A number of years ago I had a lovely fiancé who was diagnosed with lukemia and died a year or so later although it was so odd because most of the time she seemed totally normal. It was rather odd because they considered her untreatable and so she did not have to have any treatment. All that they could potentially have given her was a bone marrow transplant but she was spared that discomfort. After she died her family were not very nice to me which was disappointing.

This chemo is apparently pretty unpleasant but about the only chance of staying around a bit longer. So I am very sorry to hear about this and hope it works a bit for you.

My first session. the aftermath was extremely unpleasant, yodeling into a bucket for about 8 hours from 5am the following morning.
I now get some expensive meds which help a lot.

Apart from me getting breathless if I as much as pick up a pen to do the crossword, things are going on as normal.
It took me 10 days-ish to get over chemo 1, halfway through that was our wedding day. Put on the bravest face I could muster. Evey photo has me smiling.

Put on a brave face and be as normal as possible. It seems your fiance was doing the same, Tony.
Perhaps her family just needed someone to blame for their loss.
