BTW Steve, my last word on it, you know that real men dont cry, well I'm a real man and I do so **** them all, a good cry can sometimes be whats needed mate.
 
Nah it can't have been Chris. They had a North East accent. We all know Chris was brought up in Poland by one black parent and one Jewish parent. He's a veritable cornucopia of diversity.

Not sure what they thought it was. I said Smith with an S and told them to take it from there.

Even I can spell Smif
 
I'll be applying in September, I want to do Spanish and I think my 5 choices will be either Durham, Southampton, Lancaster, Bath or York.

Jersey,
Durham & York absolutely ace places for a good gargle. Marvellous battle cruisers & fairly cheap. Just take a gap year straight away and sample the fine inns and hostelries these places can offer. Do a open university course later when you sober up. About 2 years time

I think I'll have to take a gap year just to work, otherwise I probably won't have enough money to go! That's the main downside with Durham, the living costs are probably going to be very high.
 
I went to Thika town today, 35km outside Nairobi. They grow pineapples there. I went round on a motorcycle taxi, clinging on for dear life. Thank goodness BB didn't move here, we'd have rearended him and I'd be in hospital.

I go to 6th form in Durham with exams starting in a week and regardless of the inflated living I'd love have the chance to go to Durham Uni. It's one of the top uni's in the country and great night life with Durham, Sunderland and Newcastle on the doorstep. Hope you get the results you need matey.

Steve, can't imagine what you're going through, but try and be strong. Time's a healer mate.
 
I finished work at 07:00 am yesterday and had to complete a 2,500 word assignment regarding the economic plight of sub-Saharan African countries by midday. Bloody Knackered when I got it finished...
 
We can't stop the pain Steve and his family are feeling but it feels so good to me that so many have rallied round and offered him words of sympathy and support. I know Steve is in all our thoughts and hope in some small way that has been a small comfort to him.
 
yeah i know mate, the other day when it happened i didnt want to talk to anyone, now i have talked to a few people, staff on my site, neighbours, family etc and i feel a lot better, next week though is when its all going to come flooding back.

bottom line is, my wife was 8 months pregnant, sunday she had a miscarraige, hd to give birth naturally, was there for the birth at 5am sunday, didnt hit home really till we seen him, then the waterworks/floodgates and everything else opened, wife got let out today but it was touch and go on whether she would need a blood transfusion, luckily she didnt but didnt find that out till this morning.

got to go and register the death tomorrow then sort out whatever funeral we are going to have for him, wife isnt sure if she wants to go, she is a bit of a state atm, hence why she is at her mams, but we need something, they said we could just give him to the hospital and they would deal with it (without holding him/looking at him at all) i just couldnt do that, he deserves a good send off and a proper buriel site.

told you i didnt want to make this morbid lol

Happened to us with our first mate although he was only 6 months at the time, the only advice i can offer is, support your wife as much as you can. It's bad enough feeling the way you do right now but she must be going through hell, she needs you and she needs you to stay strong for her. Pm me if you want to chat.

Yep, we have all had days like that mate!..............economic plight of what did he say?
 
Steve, my condolences to you and your missus. I know how it feels (had the same thing happen to us many years ago), just hang in there. It probably doesn't feel like it now, but time eases the pain. Hold on to each other, and you will get stronger.
 
****ing Hell Steve, I feel a right **** for winding it up on our board now, had I known any of this I wouldn't have dreamed of taking the piss.

Really sorry to hear this awful news and my thoughts are with you and your missus.
