Thanks for the kind words all. Being an inspiration-I don't know about that, you may want to check with folk around me when I am having a rantathon
Hospital went well, the consultant said I am responding well to my treatment, both my psa and testosterone levels are virtually zero which means the cancer is either asleep or been killed off, or dying through the amount of radiation and lack of their 'Food' which is the testosterone, I will find that out when I come off hormone therapy which he said I could be on between 2-5 years depending how I cope with the side effects.
I have been suffering a bit through being tired and lethargic at times which he said is normal due to the brachytherapy and radiotherapy I had, it may last for another few months but that is a small price to pay.
My sincere best wishes go out to Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliot, A poker legend who did a lot to promote this wonderful game in its infancy, hope he wins his race.
Hey tom.Still readin.Thanks for postin up on my own thread.Your kind words mean a lot,especially from someone with their own issues to deal with.Still inspirational.With your positive outlook,youll be grand.
Well , I have had a pretty bad week life - wise. I am in a real downer at present and everybody around me seems to be upsetting me, at work it is the same, had another set too with the boss this week,I was only asking the new ''Production Manager'' what the plan was for the shop floor with the massive job I have surveyed and drawn up and done the cutting sheets for, I also asked for a copy of the delivery note, the boss gave me a roasting and said look at the purchase order, to which I replied that is no good as they could send different to what is on that, cue another rag ear....2 hours later he comes in with the delivery note and tells me they have cocked up and not sent enough timber, no word of apology. I had given the production manager advice on how to cut the timber as he has no machining experience and it worked out well on the first phase, he got a pat on the back in last weeks production meeting for the job going through well......I informed him what was a potential disaster on how the two 'Workers' were cutting the timber out, he didn't approach them, this afternoon before I went home the MD was saying he had to have a chat with the blokes mentioned as they have cut the timber rather stupidly.......I GIVE UP.....
No word from Tom - fingers crossed he's just been busy celebrating his birthday. Has anyone heard from him, or seen him at the tables? Posted by Tikay10
He was on my table in last night's 9.30 BH. He wasnt very chatty, so I didnt say much. Hope you are ok Tom.
(PS...belated birthday greetings Tom...and just ignore the idiots at work so you dont get stressed with it all)
hope you had a good birthday tom and my best wishes i send that you may be feeling a lot better,my birthday was the 9th, but i shut myself awayWHY YOU MAY ASK I WAS 60 XXXXX
Thanks all for the birthday wishes, most kind and the cake is especially nice thank you. I had a bit of a quiet day as I wasn't feeling too well and had to be near a bathroom all day.
I am busy building a wall around myself to protect me from my inner demons at present so apologies if folk have said hi and I haven't replied- I am not ignoring anyone I just struggle at times to deal with certain stuff.,hope to be back to normal soon.
i do appreciate the good wishes, it helps me enormously to think that folk care enough to post here and say nice stuff, I must try to do that on other folks threads, I do try to at times but find it hard to put things into words which will come over genuine as meant and not sycophantic or hidden meaning, this English language is so hard to master at times
Was reading one the other day which did make me smile, I had to look up tl;dr though, blimey I am behind the times I best stop now then, good luck all..I shall return.

It's a shame that it's the only time some of these people have ever used a semi-colon

Same again today, please.
Good luck.
