Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Cynic,
I thought a little more time in the pub might mellow you.
--------------
My parents, allowed me and supported my education, and also enable many of my "follies", I have done the same for my children, who have sufficient incomes to sustain themselves and responsibilities.
Although, I am grateful for my financial inheritance from my parents, but wished that they had been less frugal and spent more on themselves in their last years.
I encouraged them to do so and wished they had.
-------------
My children would not be offended by how I, or my wife leave the disposal of our "values" on our deaths. They, like I, would make no claim on predecessors for their own comforts of life.
In probability, after donations by my wife to "groups" of her interest, any residue would go to my grandchildren for any help needed in their development.

"i have a pub next door to my office, but i have never been in it, and indeed i probably only go to a pub 5/6 times a year" Judging by the tone of some of you posts on here I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you have been banned.

Sorry.

I would like to die with something like these flippancy on my lips.
My wife, who is looking over my shoulder says that it is possible.
Jesus, that look again.

Sorry to hear that Tanker, I've had 2 friends die of bone cancer, the one saving grace (if there is such a thing) was that both died within weeks of being diagnosed.
