Sleety Saturday

Morning all,
Not very nice out, grey wet and cold. Didn't have a great night's kip as wife rather upset and doesn't know what to do with herself. Not much I can do other than just be around and try not to be an arse. Taking the girl to the optician for a check up later, will see what the day brings.
Hope you all have a good one.

Going to be crap for a while, sorry mate. Do they know how long your brother in law has?Veronese68 wrote:Morning all,

Up to 6 months untreated, maybe 12 if he has chemo. Lung cancer that has spread into liver and bones, he was symptom free until he got a lump on his side. He gave up smoking over 20 years ago, now in his 60s. I can only try to be supportive and say things like what a good and full life he's had. All sounds a bit trite.seanoconn wrote:Going to be crap for a while, sorry mate. Do they know how long your brother in law has?0 -
Tis true, not a lot you can do in that situation. Seems to be far too much of the Big C around these days
Were just finishing getting ready, off to Heathrow after lunch and hopefully leave this bloody weather behind."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Yup V 68, not much I can add to what's been said alreadt. Lost three close friends to cancer within the space of a couple of years and my own father had it and pulled through in the end.
All slushy and wet over here. Will don snow boots and head for the hills I think.0 -
Been snowing solidly since 4am ... it's now 11am .... and none of the bastid stuff has settled ... I wanna build a snowman0

Went through a similar thing a couple of years with the wife and her mum V68, made me realise what a selfish c**k I could be a times. Have a far stronger relationship now because of it and fortunately her mum is well and still in remission. It's shit when it happens but you'll be fine in the long run.
Weather as bad as it can be here so no bike ride (not that anyone in BB rides a bike!) no park run or even the gym. Sat in kitchen hammering the espresso machine playing old music vids on YouTube.
Wife and youngest gone to Norfolk - I think the wife has to go back everY now and then to get some strange carrot juice that stops the webbed feet and hands from growing back when they have been out of the region for a while.
So its wall to wall football and rugby with the eldest later with the threat of watching Lilo and Stich thrown in - she's 17 FFS0 -
Sorry to start the day with such a downer, but thanks all. Still sleeting here. Was going to help the boy rebuild the front suspension on the Mini, not in this weather. Might put it in the garage to do the right hand side, but room is tight and bicycles would have to go into the garden. Much tea has been drunk and now on coffee, will leave the beer until later. Hopefully watching the 6 nations later.
ETA: Lilo & Stitch, haven't seen that for a while. Fineas &Ferb was good.0 -
Off to the sunny lakes soon. No bike don't think for a minute you're getting a holiday as I am taking the laptop.
Be the best prop VN.

Yeah Saturday
No need to apologise v68, fake forum friends are what you need in times like this
Man flu is taking hold - very much in evidence in bailing 11 miles into my run today - which meant a 3 mile walk home
Taking out a tree today with the help of a pal and then another mate is coming over for the rugby
Later is meant to be dinner at neighbours but I think they are ill too0 -
In the spirit of which hope yesterday was as good as it could be considering you were driving.TLW1 wrote:No need to apologise v68, fake forum friends are what you need in times like this

Ciao
Shyyyt to hear V68 - the big c really is a horrible kkunt. Best wishes and thoughts to all.
Here has been cold, rain, sleet but 13k cross country run done so pasta soup and Cornish pasties devoured for lunch, gulped down with lashings of Earl Grey.
Found perfect spot to run business with TDLO - maybe a long term burner. Have a couple of irons in the fire at current workplace (3-5 year plan depending if I make it that far as I don't fall apart in the meantime) so let's see.
Apart from that, will pop the rugby on, get angry when England score and home made pizza for dinner. Will also change from valve extender on the s/s from rubbish Planet X does the job to sweeeeet hand milled job. As it will be sharing the front Spibergy with Dirk it deserves it.
Ciao for now.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I was going out for a day of fun but now I'm too depressed. Think I'll stay home and mope about It is all your fault V68 but I don't want you to feel responsible. You don't need to thank me, that's what friends are for Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0

Live every day as though it is your last. One day it will be...
I managed to get my leg over this afternoon and keep it up for 30 minutes0 -
About to take off and leave the sleet behind but they've announced we'll be on the stand for another 10 minutes. Where's my first glass of grog?!"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Been in the garage messing with headset of the s/s so I can slam it but it's a poxy Cane Creek one with a funny stepped bottom cone space that's about 9m too high - inside is stepped to clear the funny spacer that sits inside the bearings.
As soon as I get it sorted I know what's going to be the first thing to be smashed with a hammer and chucked in next door's garden.
As an aside - it's blimmin' Baltic. Colder than my ex's heart. Oh to be in the warm bosom of TDLO.....Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Ho hum. I'm 4 miles from Ullswater.
Had a great start to the holiday: a Mexicana bagel with Emmental cheese, smoked ham and relish with a vinaigrette side salad. And that was only lunch. Vino in the fridge.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Vino is in the fridg! For fuck's sake Pinno, get him out. You try explaining to Mrs P how a small Russian dude ended up in your fridge.
Took me months to explain to TDV why TDNFNATN was holed up in my wardrobe...Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Noo! Some girls are just no fun. Frozen boxes. 6 bottles of vintage claret and still not up for it.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Yes. I still call them fig newtons, even though mine are from Lidl. I think they must be in that tin next to the food mixer.0 -
