Unorthodox Christmas here in Japan spending most of the day at the hospital for Sakuras full body scan.......no relapse or metastasis comes as a very welcome Christmas gift Merry Christmas everyone xxx

"investment" suggests some way of getting the money back..........and don't say share issue as Fridays ruling blows this out of the water.

Caroline Wyatt? Rumoured to have been Charlie Wyatt previously.

How long have you been off it now mate?

^^^Richard Wilson at the BBC right now.

Is Taco Bell any good? Have heard its greasy as f**k.......in America albeit!

Happy Birthday!

Are you still pissed from last night or is the Mon-Thurs sabbatical still in place?

I just know Tynieness lives near the canal to be honest. As for Slippery P, I think he's probably just overdone the drinking recently.

That's awful. Hard to even comprehend growing up without your Mum. Poor kids

Cheers mate. A lamb & chicken mixed kebab (everything on it) would be nice. Better get one for the wife too!

Got any actual pics? Curious to see how it looks after 10 years. I'll need to get my Mum to dig it out at her house as I didn't bring it to Japan. It's in pretty good condition as I only wore it on special occasions although the "stone" at 12 fell out and got lost.

I could wake up my wife but given she's spent the last year dealing with our daughters rare form of kidney cancer, I don't really want to saddle her even more emotionally. I have spoken to her about it, just not at 2am in the morning.

Cheers. Yeh the health care here is first class.

Thanks mate.

Tell me about it! Its been a tough year but thankfully both my daughter and I are out of hospital, although we're both back for blood test check ups in the next few days.

Not a depression thing but I'm having some mental issues since being diagnosed with bile duct cancer back in September. I've had the tumour plus part of my stomach, intestine, gall bladder, bile ducts and pancreas removed and since started chemotherapy (tablet form) from home but find the early hours of the morning when alone with my thoughts difficult. Then there's days like today where my liver has been aching as well as feeling nausea constantly and you start wondering if you're going to make it! Sorry, just wanted to sound off. I'm very positive the vast majority of the time.

Sorry to hear of your loss Gaz. Happy to hear your Dad didn't suffer which is definitely something to take solace from.

You could be joining him if your girlfriend ever reads your posts on this forum.....

Only an utter philistine doesn't like wine. Women would be quite right ostracise such a person imo.

Not with all that cheese it isn't!

As opposed to drinking prosecco?

No red wine?

is that Jimmy Summerville on the right?
