    Quite right Tel, we should all take the opportunity to say how we really feel ... it helps, that's all I'm saying.

    You said all you ever needed to say when you asked me to be your best man and told me why.

    As for my own parents, mother died when I was 5 and dad died when I was 7. There was no time to tell either of them anything. It was a desperate time for a kid that age. There were many times when I wished it could have been different but if it had been I wouldn`t be what I am. I wouldn`t have the kids and grandkids I have now and wouldn`t change them for anything. No choice but to accept, although tough at times, it was for the best.

    Damn! Pops!

    Just goes to show. You think you've had it bad and then you're humbled.

    A miracle that I was even born, my father was 22 years old in 1914 when war was declared, he was one of the first ones to go , my mother used to discourage him from talking about it at home but I remember mentions of the Somme ( 30,000 dead in the first day ) and the Dardanelles in Turkey , he came home and fathered seven children in a land " Fit for heroes to live in " except that as a shipyard labourer he was unable to get a permanent job, he would have to queue up outside the shipyard and the foreman would select the number of men needed and the rest were sent home, One incident he told me was when he was working on the Tyne and one day the ferry was late and everyone had to run as the gates were shut at seven oclock , my father whose lungs were damaged with mustard gas was unable to keep up and the gates were shut with him in sight 50 yards away so he had to go home and return the next day ( Of course we do not need unions )
    My biggest regret is that both of my parents were dead by the time I was in a position to be able to really make life easy for them

    The previous owner of the house I'm now managing was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Harrison

    His dad was on the dock labour scheme and his mam took in washing ..... the property is worth around £6 million so you have to say 'fair play'.

    It certainly has ...... the fact that the board is coming to life is killing you.

    You'll do everything you can to kill the board but you're ****ed.

    When you could act the big man, rebuilding Thailand and shagging every ladyboy, you could just about get away with it.

    Now you're begging Billy to be your mate you're just a sad knacker.

    Don't you have any real mates from all those incredible years in Sunderland?

    He's a total drain on this board ..... if Comm isn't the centre of attention it results in toy throwing.

    He could get away with it when he was a family man, with a business abroad, but now he's abandoned them he isn't the big bollix he claimed to be.

    It bloody well has. These threads beat your "this board is ****e, you're all a bunch of ***ots" threads all the day long.

    Lets take a look at one.

    Back off from a good thread and show some decency for once man.
