Grandad...

Scrobs is a normal bloke.

Being the latest exulted member of the cultural experts of Martin Scriblerus, I'm enabled to see the writings of many posters, who are far more interesting than me, but I wish to bring the attention to everyone who knows this ol' grey head, to Grandad's site.

He's having a crap time. Herself is in need of care, in a bed, far away from her home, his dear dog Penny ended her days last week, and now he's got some serious decisions to make about how he's going to deal with the next several weeks.

Throughout today, I've felt really miserable about our friend's predicament - it could suddenly occur with any of us, but about now, at an age when things can sometimes start to go wrong, I want to be with the guy, chat with him, have a glass of whiskey with him,  and generally do what old Scrobs do under the circumstances.

I've cried for you today, Grandad, you have to beat the shit out of all this...

Yes he's having a really crap time. He seems to cope by having a strong personality, but the latest episodes must seem crushing. Very sobering.

Wow! I really don't know what to say. Well, actually I do but being somewhat verbose I had to reply at length over on mine.

By coincidence, our posts crossed, and he was covering something from me at the same time!

Luckily, we'll still be able to be there when needed!

Amazing coincidence, Grandad!

I've been on Paddypower type sites, and the odds of the subject matter being simultaneous are about 5000/1, so lets spend a few splonders on it happening again...

;0)

As long as we keep cross tabulating.

Grandad, yes, I'll get over there.

Well said. I hope that the waves of good will from all his followers can be felt by Grampa. He does more good than any snivelling pollie.

I hope you can James - I think it's Jameson Black Barrel he likes...
