MikeM 11 Posted August 31, 2018 Ha ha well I’ve reached out to them, if they want a wake up call I’ve offered it. I appreciate the kind words I’ve got tonight and although I still don’t understand or in any way approve of it I wish you the best. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do feel bad that starting this thread has caused you offence and I apologise.No one on this forum wants your Grandmother to die and some of us including myself are fans of your Grandmother and Great Uncle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,315 Posted August 31, 2018 Being sensitive is understandable under the circumstances.I would feel the same probably if it was my Grandmother however both are long dead so would be terrible dead pool candidates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope your nan gets to 100 and sorry about your other losses. Me too she was talking about the letter from the Queen the other week Then I am confident that she will get it. My grandmother lived to 100, it was an ambition, nay a certainty she held ever since she had her fortune told as a young woman, and was predicted to live to "three figures". And she did. My father used to say he would throw a big party for her 100th birthday because I would be 21 in the same year. Sadly he died himself long before those milestones. Life is strange, and death is part of it. Please don't be offended, Mike, we are mostly respectful here although we do enjoy a bit of banter and running jokes. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted September 1, 2018 Rereading the day after, and I think the posters have done fuck all wrong. Assuming Mike is indeed a relative, I'd have thought it was a decent thread from his point of view. However/ Memo to DDT, not bothered a jot about posts being deleted (I'll stand by them) , but if you're going to that bother, do it fucking right. Every forum you go on its the same, anyone gets a post deleted and the mods leave the ones quoting them, so not deleted at all. ** its a petty hate of mine but can be fun at times.
