My wife was given anything up to three years to live after diagnosis. In fact, she lasted less than three months. It was horrible to witness, so Lord knows what it felt like.
And all the time I kept thinking that it would be far more "practical" (if that could ever be the right word) if I had been the one who was pegging out rather than her, especially as regards the care of our daughter, who was four years old at the time. I still believe that to this day.
(Sigh...)
Today i had an epidural at my local hospital so quite happy the pains will go away for awhile, sad that i have been told i need surgery on my shoulder and even sadder that it was all caused by a drunk driver taking me off the road 2 years ago, it would have been a hit and run as the driver legged it over fields leaving me, my bike and his car in the road, luckily a horse rider followed him and guided the police helicopter to where he had tried to hide, on the happy side again, he got 9 months and i got £10k.
Going back, if I may, to the regrets expressed regarding the deaths of Jack Bruce and Alvin Stardust earlier on this thread, I found tributes to both musicians on Monday 27/10/14 in what may be considered unusual places - the Rugby League newspapers.
Pontefract resident Phil Hodgson, the highly-respected BARLA correspondent of the Rugby Leaguer & League Express (No. 2938), pointed out that Cream wasn’t “Eric Clapton’s group… [it] comprised [of] three fantastic musicians of recognised equal stature in the wonderful drummer Ginger Baker, superb bassman Bruce and the gifted lead guitarist Clapton. Hopefully, the obituaries of Jack Bruce will reflect that.”
In League Weekly (No.642), veteran journalist Dave Parker was “Saddened to hear of the death in the past week of glam rock legend Alvin Stardust…” Alvin, it turned out, was the president of a Second Division club named Mansfield Marksman [sic] RLFC in 1985, when Dave was general manager there. “He was a very approachable guy and we often spoke, and he took an interest in what we were hoping to do in the East Midlands with the 13-a-side code.”
Mansfield Marksman, aka Nottingham Outlaws, aka Nottingham City, were sadly relegated from senior Rugby League in 1993 after a weasel of an RFL official named Maurice Lindsay changed the format of the league while the season was under way.
Looking through the forums and finding this one has over 900 post. Come on guys, we need to get happy and run around in the rain with just our underwear on!!! Trust me, it'll make you laugh like a kid again :)
