Great to hear that you have recovered now and have you back on the board again. Is the problem with that one not that both sides claim it about the other lot? For whatever reason (relatively recent Irish Gael ancestors from Donegal who saw the light/took the bowl of soup, delete as appropriate) I usually fail to register on the onboard prod-o-meter that almost all Ulster and some Scottish folk of both persuasions have leading to no end of awkward social situations when I finally have to say "well actually..." or none too subtle questioning to facilitate the process of pigeonholing as friend or foe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but I only related that anectode* because it actually happened. Quite frankly when you're lying in hospital wired up to various devices you don't give a damn who's looking after you. * anecdote Edited December 8, 2021 by Jacksgranda Sleppnig 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 This has taken a lot out of my wife, too, I think she needs to recover nearly as much as I do. I was oblivious to what was going on in the initial stages whereas she knew I was very seriously ill and had all the worry and had to give permission for procedures etc as I was out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not still on about this are you? This needs to be the last day of mollycoddling you. Assert yourself, send her to the bookies or something. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the start of a cruise fundraiser . Glad your OK and good to see you back posting. Sounds like you had quite the experience although I didn't really read anything the would have stopped you from being able to post tbh.

superbigal Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I assume @Jacksgranda must have smashed the most liked daily content on his reappearance post. Need to get Marshy and co along to red dot him down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get Marshy and co along to red dot him down. He hasn't. Last I checked, I had the record with 196 green dots (this was in the days of everybody ripping the piss out of Hearts' imminent relegation and I had about 3 popular posts in one day). There might be someone who beat me since then. I suspect the record for best single post is the original 'Chronicle of the Banter Years' post from Hibsfan, so he doesn't have that one either.
