Remember the old question asking how are children different from adults? The price of the toys. Your boy is an adult…

midgetman · 24 Dec 2018, 00:12 (Ref:3872170)

Ah I wasn't clear. This is for BOTH of us to race

Ah sorry. My bad. Apologies. Being Johnny Foleignel I thought you were both adults

midgetman · 24 Dec 2018, 08:13 (Ref:3872195)

Gerard I haven't been an adult for 40 years. One of my father's friends said to him "Just grow old gracefully Tyler." I plan to grow old as disgracefully as possible!

For those interested, just a short note to confirm that I am still in the land of the living and watching! I'm also in a happier place than for many years having sold my house, paid off my divorce derived debts and moved in with my new partner, Jackie, here in beautiful Shropshire.

Hope all of you have a great Christmas and New Year.

Be my guest, then! I'll buy a couple of beer and won't say a word. In the coming days, it'll be disgraceful for you to be seen with a French other than a… prisoner! Or dead meat may be…

Sorry to bring religion into this, but I still pray for you every night, John, so will take some credit for your good fortune.

Truly pleased to know that life has taken a turn for the better, and look forward to seeing a smiling face around Fiscar next year.

Wishing you both a Happy Christmas, and a Peaceful New Year.

Well that's a nice uplifting message for the time of year, John.

Of course an important question is whether Shropshire provides easier access to the places of weekend importance.

Or maybe not since, as I recall, it is probably rather a nice place to be any day of the week.

All the best for 2019.

I spent 18 months serving her Majesty's Air Force at Shawbury, near Shrewsbury, in Shropshire, having signed the Official Secrets Act, I cannot elaborate. I am sure J&J will be very happy there.

Nice to hear, John. I can only agree that having a new partner makes a world of difference to one's life. However, I hope you re having a better first Christmas than us - two unconnected family deaths within an hour of each other yesterday afternoon..........

midgetman · 24 Dec 2018, 14:36 (Ref:3872251)

Oh John that's terrible. Commiserations.

John T - glad it's working out.

Horrible to have those two posts juxtaposed.

Thank you - you wouldn't think a coincidence like that would happen would you?

It's been a terrible month, starting with loss of my brother. Unconnected to me but my neighbours lost their son following an illness ten days ago. He was just three years old...

Christmas, eh?

Excellent news John. Hope you and Jackie have a wonderful Christmas.

Likewise, Merry Christmas all on here including Bauble.

Mike Bell · 24 Dec 2018, 17:31 (Ref:3872271)

In light of a John E’s news, I will just wish everyone on tenths as Happy a Christmas as their personal circumstances allow.

Willmaz223 · 24 Dec 2018, 17:46 (Ref:3872278)

Happy Christmas to all.

I just cant stop thinking aout all the negatives in life.It does block out the happy side of me a lot (Motorsport keeps it at bay).All the issues and stuff.It does make me worry where we are all headed as a world.I know you probably have all heard it before.Anyway enough of me darkening the light.

What choco should I have first? They all look so nice?

**Peter Mallett** · 24 Dec 2018, 17:50 (Ref:3872279)

John, my condolences. I hope your family and friends find a way to cope at this difficult time. Thoughts are with you.

Willmaz223 · 24 Dec 2018, 18:57 (Ref:3872291)

I offer my condolences to John E.Life can be really unfair at times but can always improve and get better.(I know from unfortunate experience) having myself not had a very good last couple of yrs with mental health etc.I've improved thankfully.

Peter, I am quite overwhelmed by your magnanimous gesture, the cockles of my heart are positively glowing with warmth, and I realise that the well of human kindness has not run dry. If only all here were as kind and thoughtful as your self the world would be better place. (well ten tenths at least.)

So I wish you a most felicitous Christmas, and a truly awesome New Year.

Bauble.

John, that is a truly awful month for you and those around you.

At this time of year it always seems to be so much harder to work through even the least bad news but your month seems to have been exceptionally difficult by any standards and for any month of the year.

Suitable words are, of course, impossible to find. Just be sure to look out for each other especially carefully over the next few weeks.
