Much healthier than the ice bucket challenge and much less likely to degrade into token gestures for social kudos

Felt like I needed the impetus to take a lengthy hiatus from the booze for a while, and willpower, so useful when giving up cigarettes so easily, doesn't seem to be working. But I'm a man of honour, so should I get any donations of any amount, you can bet your bippy I'll stick to my word.

Also, I'm not sure if anyone caught it in an unrelated thread a while ago, but my father was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour. It's been mostly removed, and radio and chemotherapy is currently underway. But it was discovered too late, and we have 2 years, at best, with our father. No doubt we'll be experiencing first hand the work of the MacMillan nurses. It's certainly not a job I'd want to do myself.

If you can, and/or haven't already, my page is here:

Just tried to donate but clicked paypal and nothing happened?? Obviously doing something wrong?

Ok sorted, paypal suddenly turned up, good luck and enjoy your time with your dad :)

I think (hope) you might find you have more than a few friends in here :) and for everyone else, every little helps :)

Thought I'd post in this thread, as it seems the most relevant

Haven't really mentioned it much, as it's not something you like to dwell on, but my father's brain tumour got the better of him, and he died in his sleep last night.

Best way to go, in a better place, he's not suffering anymore, all that. Had a s***ty, s***ty day, but also a lot of laughs with the family as we gathered at my parents house and shared memories until he was finally taken away.

Forgive me if I go quiet for a while

Oh Jesus, I just posted in a football thread, feel terrible I didn't open this thread first. So very sorry for your loss. Glad it wasn't a long drawn out end, but it's still a really hard thing to deal with, my condolences to you and your family. Best wishes mate.

Sorry Pete, that really sucks. Take care.

Condolences.
Been through it myself, with a loss of a parent
after a long illness, but time does heal.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Pete.

My condolences.
