I accidentally went to one in Hawaii once. There was a guy there, hung to the floor, standing in the shallows with his back to the water facing the beach - just swinging from side to the side.

sorry sr. I’ll make sure to face the ocean next time

Easy way to know everyone's age without asking, unless you're the first guy.

Im thinking, but still confused. Is it a similar concept to working out the age of a tree.... ie counting the number of rings

You can see their date.

You would still look like Jake the Peg.
In retrospect, that Rolf Harris song takes on a far more sinister aspect.
No reflection on you of course!

True story....

Years ago I was working for an OHS Consultancy. We were auditing telco sites in Western Sydney- (Penrith ) - audit included each technician's van and equipment inc their work belt. The belt had to be inspected regularly and stamped with date of last inspection.

Towards the end of one inspection, thinking of his belt, I said to a technician "can you show me your date"?

He replied - "geez you could have picked a better looking bloke".

PS - ' adjusted

Hang on are you telling me that date inspector is an actual job?

I have been doing it for free for 20 years. Feeling ripped off.

Our boy is on the plane home, left the UK yesterday, arrive Perth today and then to Canberra tomorrow and the to the South Coast for his final journey. His plan was to stay in the UK but he wants to be here now.
Matter of weeks, the deterioration is rapid now. We had to do some ‘creative writing’ to get him on the plane and going through his end of life care and plan to enable him to stay with us for as long as possible rather than hospital. He needs to see whales, see and smell the ocean from our balcony for as long as he can.
His mums inconsolable and it doesn’t seem possible our beautiful intelligent boy won’t be with us much longer. So much left behind.

One shining light is Carlton are still shit and that helps me through the dark nights.

Thanks matey.

 

[manicpie]

Thanks matey.

I don't even know what to say mate.

All good, I’m just have a whine. It helps

Bloody awful. I'm glad you've got somewhere to let it out rather than just bottling it in like us blokes were trained to do.

I'm trying to put myself in your situation and I just have to admire your attitude

I still bottle mate, spill to a mate and anonymously. All helps. Bit self indulgent but it helps.

Mate as the father of 2 boys words can’t express how much this hurts to hear. Sending every thought to you and your family.

That’s it. Spill it and talk a bit if rubbish to keep your mind occupied is always is a small consolation

Thanks mate. It’s a tough time for sure. Memory’s to make in the next couple of weeks and memories to fall back on. It’ll always hurt though of course.

We're the stiff upper lip generation, which can be bad, but beats the hell out of the wobbly lower lip generation.

Stay strong for the other members in your family mate. It always helps although difficult.
