I agree with Monty and everyone else. Do what you can and be with him whenever possible but don't beat yourself up for not being able to be with him all the time. You have other family that need you around too. And do talk to him as much as possible, i had ...

Mate my advice would be use what ever perks the RAF will give you and just spend some time with him.

Keep optimistic Itchy.. You don't know what it is yet, so I hope it works out for him and it's just a blip.

dont feel guilty unfortunately for all of us normal life has to plod on,just be there for him as much as you can and maybe call him when your at home
best wishes

My dad's not well. The older you get, the more ominous that sounds when you say it. But Sunday night had him calling for an ambulance. Which is a big thing because my dad hasn't been to the doctors in at least ten years. In fact, I could probably count the number of times I've ...

I'm nicking that, I know a guy who's almost there but not quite. I'm sure he'll appreciate it as much as I did.

... out set up...my next call was to strip it down hit my boss walked in before getting to that stage. He started doing what I had done so I told him and he then 'had to strip it'. Then afternoon I went on break leaving the department running smoothly. Clearly something went wrong and they tried ...

Ouch. I can remember him presenting it...



Wollarding hard.

... appealed, it's not like you can't get your dose of borderline racist, denim and tweed combo, dad-rock loving elsewhere anyway. You could follow him on twitter, for a start.

... be the one who isn't a lycra clad lady? ;) A mate of mine used to work for Sorrymate, & I stopped off at their stand at the NEC to chat to him a couple of years back. Although he was working alongside a young lady, she was in "solicitor power suit" garb, rather than the Carole ...

... I actually fitted M7's then when they were done went back to the M5, I liked them better. Did you get this quote from Gary ? If not I would ask him, he is normally very good on price. Saying that I normally just buy on line and take down loose wheels for fitting cost me very little then. On ...

... given up trying to do that. 6 months into the contract and they still can't find work for me to do. The Dev manager knows I'm looking, but I told him today that I'm going to start training courses in their time if they can't find some work for me. I've never known a company like it. That's crazy. ...

Fwiw, I really don't think you're like him.

You make jokes, he makes an entire half of the species worried.

The funniest bit was when I told him he's full of amazing facts and he blurted out in his best posh Brummie accent "yes, yes I am actually".

... cut up a load of cyclists and a biker this morning, jumping lanes without indicating. Biker stopped to have a chat, guy started screaming at him out the window. I pulled alongside to lend a little solidarity and he shouted "you can **** off, too". :D Happy chappy. Maybe 40 and a ...

Put some spider porn in the plastic box for him.

Today I'm trying to convince an adult male tarantula that he wants to leave his nice cosy piece of cork tube to come out and go into a plastic box so I can send him off for some sexy time.

So far no good.
