Re: Back on site again after bit of time away.
John,
so sorry about your sister in law. Yes, it's a terrible disease to have. I've been 'managing' it since about 2006 but the last couple of years have been very difficult with a need for constant oxygen and now I'm mostly stuck in my pit 24 hrs a day. Thankfully, via the wonders of the internet, I can chat to people like you on here. They tell me now that I'm on borrowed time. Thanks I said!
Keep well matey, I'll bet it' starting to warm up where you are now.
Jeff'.

All i can say my Friend is that it must be terrible for you, after such an active and exciting life, these things seem to creep up on us at times. Please remember that i and i am sure many here are with you in Spirit, and wish you well , you are a fighter so keep that going and never give in.
My thoughts are with you always
Cheers
A good old mate from Years back now! Be it only through the wonder of the Internet!

Re: Back on site again after bit of time away.
Thanks Vernon, yes we do seem to have 'known' each other a very long time. If used wisely the internet is a wonderful thing. Think how dull it would be if us old codgers couldn't chat to each other instantly via sites like this.

That's so true Frank, when I have told of some of the things I've seen (and done!) I get that look that says 'this blokes making it up'. But we HAVE done these things.
I'm very ill now but I still have all of my fantastic memories of ships, places and most importantly..the friends for life that I made along the way. You can't buy those things.
Jeff

Re: Back on site again after bit of time away.
Brian, that's a very kind thing to say.. I don't work at it, but you can't give in can you. Hope you're getting over throwing yourself down the stairs! Mind, I thought it a bit like attention seeking to be honest!!
