Saw my old man off in '78. Nunhead Cemetary. Was a long journey back, I can tell you. He was the last of the old family to go. Leaves me as the "old man" now.

 

Steve sorry mate its never easy pal

 

My old man is 84, thankfully fit as a fiddle and still gives me a dig out when needed.Lives in house at front of business so we spend hours together every day. Cant replace the dads thats for sure

 

I'm going to my da's 90th on Thursday............... When he see's the bar tab afterwards, he mighten reach 91

 

My dad was 87 and in reasonably good health considering but it was the circumstances of his death surrounding that did the damage, which I won't go into on a live forum which I'm sure you'll respect and appreciate Eire.

 

Because we are the best and a thoughtful bunch Brizzie

 

Thought are with you and your family mate, take care and stay safe

What a great bunch we are on here,good to see the support for one of our own.

 

How long do we have to wait before we can take the piss out of the trolley Dolly again?

 

Seriously though Steve, my condolences mate

It would have been my old mans 81st Birthday today, ****ing NHS let him down, the bastards just left him there to die

 

How very dare you. I'll not stand for that. He's one of us.

I said "us" not "them".

 

Cheers geet and spooky as it was but my mother in law died on my dad's birthday in 2013, so every year since has been a happy/sad occasion but this year onwards now will be a double sad occasion, I'll be glad to be working on my birthday this year in May as I won't be celebrating being the first one without dad.

 

out of curiosity mate, what date is your birthday in may?

 

2nd mate.

 

Hitting the sack now mate, laters.
