Re: The Coronavirus Thread Of Good News
Best of luck with all this Hes. It sounds like a brave move on your part. Ending a long term relationship is never easy. Other than some strange musical proclivities you seem like a great person.Heston wrote: ↑12 Jul 2021, 7:57pmCheers mate.

Ha! more like an English pauper. I bought my first house at 20, second at 23 and third at 24. I lived in the 3rd house for 30 years. Then the relationship failed this time my ex went off with a police sergeant. So estate agents and policemen are not my favourite people.
I then moved in with my mum and stepfather to help out with his bad health. He sadly passed away Christmas before last. So just my mum and I now. I'm semi retired and haven't worked for the last three years.
May look for some part time work but not much need to as pretty secure financially. Still not quite that Nigerian prince.
You're a damned good son for living with and caring for your mother. I'm not sure I could have done that.
All the very best.
And Marky sorry for all that prior shit but I think its great you can be there for your mom. I wish I still had time with mine. Cherish it.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread Of Good News
Thanks mate. It's the first time I've ended a relationship since I was at school and on that occasion I got someone to do it for me. I'll not deny it's been a tough day though, I'm pretty choked.revbob wrote: ↑12 Jul 2021, 8:37pmBest of luck with all this Hes. It sounds like a brave move on your part.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
