This is a question Dad stories

"Do anything good for your birthday?" one of your friendly B3TA moderator team asked in one of those father/son phone calls that last two minutes. "Yep," he said, "Your mum." Tell us about dads, lack of dad and being a dad.

My guv'nor.........
.....is a bit of a mixed bag these days..
due to epilepsy, a bad head injury he sustained years back and the cocktail of drugs he has to take; his personality is quite 'varied'..
in the black depths one minute and then brilliantly humourous and excited by all life has to offer..
Sometimes I find it hard to deal with him in the black depths but then you get flashes of how he really is..sens epilepsy, pre serious head injury..a man so utterly passionate about and in love with music and what it does to the human soul..a man who grew up with and was friends with some of the greatest musicians our country has ever produced...a man whos youth was part of the greatest social change and creative explosion ever seen..a man whos Milligan-esque humour would lead him to turning up at my school open evenings wearing Groucho Marks specs and moustache..a man whos idea of a laugh would be to put rubber spiders in the marital bed to scare the shite out of my arachnaphobe mum and to make lethally high powered catapaults for his sons and buy them fireworks to throw at their friends in the streets..
Its just a crying shame when the drugs that keep him able to function make him behave in a way that you forget all these things...but then every so often he'll tell you a filthy joke or confuse you with his old skool London dialect and backslang and you see that glint in his eyes and you know the old him is still in there...
