It would appear Nanna Fry's decline in health is happening a little quicker than anticipated  After the diagnosis before Christmas and the fall and subsequent hip replacement afterwards she will be leaving hospital for a Hospice now and not to return home  :'(

Bit of a tough one to swallow for me or be honest.

chin up trissle, have a hug from me, 

thanks for the support guys,

and we've got some better news recieved as of 8 pm tonight, dad has got cancer but the doctors say it's isn't life threatening and he will win the fight   

never ever has the family been so relieved 

also dads booked a week away in the french alps next week skiing    (5th of Feb)

so this year should be a more positive year even though we had the devastating news but knowing that he will be fine is the best news ever to hear

best thing i've heard all day! very happy for you, your dad and your family!!

10 hours on the parents kitchen today.....knackered.

last exam! then off to manchester to pick up an engine, then off to visit grandpa in hospital in Loughborough, then off to a suburb of Leicester to a friends for whiskey and cigars! happy days!

there's a Fendt 818 Vario with airbrakes 50k gearbox (no front loader though) on FWI classifieds for sub £40k. 5000hours though...

And thats just when Alex sees you sitting on your booster seat to see over the steering wheel with wooden blocks tied to your feet so you can reach the pedals Tris ;D

can you imagine some one letting me use a CB?!

the banter and humour that seems to be everywhere on here tonight! that's why i love this place!

we could shave Tris's legs and have him go with you as 'Mini Me' 

can you imagine Tris and I cruising around in a lorry? do you actually think we'd do any work? more likely sit there laughing at each other constantly!

:laugh: :laugh:

Quality, I can see it now. . . the towns go deathly silent as The Goon rolls into the neighbourhood in his "Wagon of Wood"!!!!

hahah especially if i look like Dr Evil at the time...

Given up on your dentist then, Scott?!  :laugh:

someone's on form tonight!

it's coming along well now mate keep at it!

lock up your daughters, Goon's going nationwide, and no he doesn't mean the building society!

I think wearing shorts on your head may make it a bit obvious, Alex. ..

Oh. . ...  that's not what you mean't is it?!  :laugh:

hahah you do make me laugh  

Quite a mixture of products, Alex. Should be an interesting place to be for a while.  :)

yeh i'm hoping to twist the boss' ear and get him to let me be a drivers mate for a bit...

Count yourself lucky, Alex. I had it in the fourth year of comprehensive school, my scalp had a full blown crop rotation for two years!!

Docs guessed it was delayed reaction from Dad cracking three vertibrate and spending three months in traction over Christmas of '91/'92. 

thanks trissle, i'm really hoping it just stays on my legs and doesn't go to my scalp... shorts in the summer might be a bit larey though!

That's a terrible thing to have to do Mike... so sad... make you wonder what life is all about at times when you hear sorry tales like this  :'( ... as Tris so rightly said... hold on to all the good memories you have of your friendship.

And as for you young Alex... I suspect exams are probably to blame for your current hair-loss... Dr Marky says things should clear up nicely when the exams are over... take a 'chil pill'... 'chill-ax' and all those other modern words.. it's so easy to say that.. but so hard to do I am sure.

I've written you as prescription for 10 pints of lager... followed by a kebab and a scrap with a little bloke.. to be taken twice weekly... and at weekends only - DO mix with alcohol and never drink on an empty stomach - use beer responsibly... NEVER drink and drive.. may contain traces of nuts... OK... I'll shut up now.. just trying to cheer you up and take your mind off... well... you know 

thanks Marky, yeh i'd say it was exams my grandpa being in hospital and my grandma having alzheimer's which is stressing me out so much! panic not i'll be back on the booze from monday haha

thanks David and Sean. i'm going to book an appointment with my doctor when I've got through my exams...

my sincere condolences Mike.... 49 is awfully young

cheers guys

if i'm unlucky i'll look like a mini lord F hah  but possibility of hairloss aged 20 wasn't something i was planning on...

glad to hear they're bearing up ok David...

I'll still love you even if you look like an egg Alex    ... seriously... can be stress related can't it mate

Emotional Stress is a cause of Alopecia yeh, and i would consider myself emotionally fragile currently, but it's kind of a vicious circle, i'm more stressed now my legs are going bald than i was before! 

found a few random bald patches on my legs, googled it...Alopecia...so, goodbye hair... 

So if it's not what you know, why do you need to graduate to keep the job full time?

What will you be doing then Alex and what is it exactly that the company do?

you make a good point.

i am doing an audit, of some warehouses, full of timber and other menial tasks.....got wood?!

little sister passed her 13+ entrance exam to OLCS! 

EDIT this also pleases me as i taught her all her maths for the exam! haha

where at Alex?  My cousin has 3 workers a few years ago..In Alberta Canada...awesome country...

at a big timber merchants in the next village from where my parents live, living 5 minutes from work YES!

all i'll say about me getting the job is, it's not what you know, it's who you know!

I rang Royal Mail last week and they admitted that they still hadn't caught up

royal fail. hope it gets resolved for you Mandy!

I am loving those MF's Blake... two stunners there mate.. especially the 3050... nice touch that buddy 

echo those comments!
