Glad you is all better.
I had a kidney stone and inflamed appendix simultaneously not long back.

3 Oxycontin = not even a dent in the pain.
You are a trooper, La Faffina.


And thanks all for the kind words. Uncle Harry was, I think, holding on for my Aunty Jean. He had cancer of nearly everything and had gotten sick before she did. Once she passed, I think he was able to let go.
Saw him at her funeral recently and he looked better than I had hoped, apart from not recognising me - he was still quite bright. God knows what they were pumping into him to keep him painless.
If that happens to me, I hope I have the same nobility.

Best of luck and well wishes to the both of you Dave & Faffy. It's shitty just to think about having to go through medical procedures, or when someone you now has to.

My condolences, Dave

Un-awesome: In a bit of shock over what could've been a very serious traffic accident early yesterday morning.

Sorry to hear about your uncle

Faffy - I do hope you're milking the (in)conveniently timed combination of very ill + home for the first time in months + christmas to score lots of awesome home cooking and looking after!!

Just off the phone.
My Uncle passed away this morning aged 79...just a few weeks after his wife.

Fucking cancer (both).

If I were creator of the Universe I would have left that part out.

bummer, sorry to hear that, Dave!

Same here. So sorry. Unfortunately death from cancer seems to be something everyone has some experience with.

My sincere condolences Dave.

So we're all agreed that cancer is a massive twat.

If and when any of you can, may I be so bold as to encourage you all to give generously to the worthy cancer charities and research funds out there.

Faffy-- immediately after reading your post I went to my kitchen and got a glass of water lol. I don't drink nearly enough, like if I drink more than two or three glasses of water a day that's good for me. And guess I shouldn't count beer... But glad you're feeling better and it wasn't any worse!

Tyroshai-- scary shit. Glad you're ok.

fucking dhl ripping me off

Fucking DHL taking forever to deliver my Dev and Floyd boxsets.
Not today = not for Christmas.

Eaters of shite.

Ugh... was gonna head home for Christmas today but the state is getting slammed with snow so the road I take is closed indefinitely. Yaaaaaaaay. I hope I can get out today, cuz driving all day Christmas Eve would just be marvelous.

Gr....

Cheers to everyone for your kind words. :3 Cheered up my crap-week a LOT!

Hope you're all well! :]
