Hard hitting thread in all honesty, but shows everyone's true colours at the same time.
I'm probably considerably younger than the majority on here so lucky enough my old man is still with us.
He wasn't really around as he worked abroad 9 out of 12 months of the year and when I was 8 or so he remarried and moved down south.
I have a good relationship with him now and he's about to become a grandad officially later this year.
My grandad was my hero, he was in the pub majority of my Mam's childhood so I think he felt like he had to make up for that with me and my sister, missed very dearly to this very day.
All the best gents
Wonderful post mate ..... made my night.
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.
What a wonderful post ...... Byron never said anything more poetic mate.
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'.
I never met him you bellend ...... it was the previous owner as I clearly explained
FFS, you're thick.

Wki ffs
You are sadder than i thought.
But lets not on this thread eh?
You're pissed again .... just go away and let decent people talk.
You deliberately try to spoil ever thread that isn't about you
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?
Any thread that isn't all about Comm has to be attacked ...... that's just how it is on here.

Stop trying to cause trouble all the time man.
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.
You said Sunderland was shyte and you'd never return ..... yet here you are in your gran's back bedroom
**** him. He's an arsehole. Back to the thread.
I'm from Cockfield by the way, left that out of my main post.
