Wow. I've seen this thread on the forum summary before but avoided it as I thought it would be 'bit of a downer'…I was wrong. I've been transfixed and moved in a 'big gulps/holding back the tears' way by your honest yet wry postings, Mark. Respect to you and the missus to be (not long now to the big day!).

Get well soon.

Mark – I'm with Headfirst on this one, didn't really look in earlier as I was having a family cancer trauma and getting it out in the open really helps LINK

Good luck to you and yours and all the best.

Also many thanks to STWers for you fantastic support

Any idea on the collection (from yours) date for those of us to crap to build their own?

In all the fun over the last couple of hours Chris, did you miss or just egnore my above post.

I can't see the difference between the 6 and 7 leds anyway.

Pack it in you lot right now.

FlashForwards just about to start and I don't want to miss it.

Any idea on the collection (from yours) date for those of us to crap to build their own?

Just buy Stans, why scrimp on the essentials?

You can pick up a memory foam matress topper for around £80, we love it so much we take it on holiday.

Money well spent…….

What a pile of dog crap…………………..

Searchs for posts about clearing up after your dog's (not that I do in the wilds) :wink:

Vote for a dust gatherer here.

Sold mine for what I paid for it after using it 3 times. Buy lights

Thanks all, I've been fine all day today now I'm crying my eyes out again as I read the above posts.

I'm sitting here 4 days in at his bedside as we listen to the most boring 0 – 0 Charlton v Oldham match on the Iplayer, (we both support Leeds so come on Oldham).

I'm heading home later for a couple of nights at home as the doctors have told us (Sister & I) that we need a break and he might last for another week or so.

Thanks for STW for the advert just to the right as I write this

I'll just have to ride faster to keep them cool won't I then?

Why do the yanks have to screw up everything

JohnClimber – Member
Chris, how's my additional screw fitting doing?

Hey Troutie, see above, sorry

Chris, how's my additional screw fitting doing?

i'd like to ask why are you bothered what colour it is? It'll be pitch black* when you are using it.

* except for the daylight beam infront of you.

Because Trout was foolish enough to give us a choice :lol:

I don't care what colour my Ti one is, just get me it to me yesterday :wink:

Trout, when can we expect deliveries to those who aren't clever enough to put the together from a kit?

Ditto :oops:

Thank you for your kind words and yes it WAS my Jones, now it's some scutters, here's another of my ex fugly 135mm Phil WOOD FRONT dishless front hub

2000 – 2200 who cares they are still much better than what I've got

Ok, so I'll be over to yours tomorrow afternoon to collect them then? :wink:

Actually as it is at home at the moment I might need you to send them out to me instead

I'm in again and I'm not in that shot thank goodness :lol:

Bugger, don't like them anyway ;-)

Yep, Sales Rep, sorry "Key Account Manager" to the gardening trade.

Having a current family issuse (other thread) and the boss is very understanding. When on the road he lets me get on with it, I maybe speak to him once or twice a month. But if my figures slip god help me :|

I can confirm that you are not a miserable git John, TBH your one of the most irritatingly chipper people I know.

That's the nicest insult anyone has ever said about me.

BTW, he's still hanging in there but sleeping 95% of the day, my sister and I are at his bedside. More tears today but only when I talk to other people outside the hospice or on the phone.

I went for a couple of loops of Follow the Dog just 8 miles away this morning at first light to try and clear my head.

Message for anyone from the Photo A Day 2009 Flickr pool who looks in here, I know a few do here is todays and yesterdays photos as I can't acess my account from this borrowed laptop for some reason.

"Shindlers Lift"

So what's the finished lunem power of the 5 led sets then Trout?

Ta

Thanks all.

Off down to see him again now and will stay until the end.

I'm been followed on twitter by a "Terry Van Horn"

Johntheclimber – often thought of joining the woolybacks but i've heard that you insist on fitness!

Thursday nights are fast "training" rides and not many prisoners are taken. Sunday rides are more social, we have "newbie" rides to assess the fitness of new members.

Come along for a play http://www.thewoollybacks.co.uk/index.html

"make your peace with him while you can"

Sorted

So Trout have you named these the "LUMEN LIBERATOR" from your web site?

Update – I cried like a baby for the first time today when we moved Dad on his last journey from his hospital ward to a nearby hospice after the doctors and specialists have withdrawing all "active treatment".

The unknown infection he's now got hasn't cleared up with the use of antibiotics and even if they did work the growing stomach, liver and now pancreatic cancer will kill him.

So much for the 3 to 6 months, the first post was 3 weeks ago :cry:

Thanks some good ideas there, blimey its expensive aint it

Was thinking of the same a few weeks back, but the price put me off.
What with the airport hidden charges, the hotel prices and finally the cost of food I gave up.

Wait until the £ = euro change in our favour.

Another Woollyback member here and yet another vote for Thatto's.

We should get a group discount from Paul now shouldn't we?
