I'm here Kristine
Back home for the weekend.

I've been a bit preoccupied - what's going on with job?

I think I'm feeling better thanks
Dad died on Tuesday - it's all sorted out now and we're drumming our fingers until family can get back from Kenya, Argentina and Japan for the funeral on the 22nd.

Ah man, that's terrible news, I'm glad you're feeling better though

"Better" is relative
I've come to terms with it.

Thanks for your thoughts.

well now I feel like a dick

( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 12 Aug 2011, 19:47, Reply)

Don't
I was being genuinely grateful - sorry you read it the wrong way.

No, it's a shit situation and I think I took it far too lightly. I really am sorry for your loss and I hope things become better for you.

b3th, I was wondering, would you mind if I put all your dirty linin in an olive press and keep the resulting oil?

sometimes I wonder about you

( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 12 Aug 2011, 19:41, Reply)

Oil?
I can assure you, my good man, that it would be nothing less than nectar!
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 12 Aug 2011, 19:46, Reply)

OK Thanks
Waiting the funeral now.

Mum is quite insistant that I get back to work while we're waiting and ironically I've got a six day week booked next week.

He'd have been pleased.

Offer remains open...
Keeping busy may help though, yes?
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 12 Aug 2011, 19:42, Reply)

Absolutely.
In an ideal world we'd have dealt with this more quickly but my Dad's brother lives in Kenya, one of my cousins lives in Argentina and another lives in Japan.

They all want to be at the funeral and I think that says a lot about my dad.

Sorry to hear about your loss TD. Hope it's not too shit at the moment.

Thanks Fella
I wasn't sure whether to be open about this on b3ta or not but last Friday, when I knew it was a matter of days, I opened my heart a bit online.

Through Gaz I made two new good friends and reaffirmed my long held conviction that the most reviled poster on O/T is actually a very fine man to know.

who's that then?
And what does reviled mean?

Reviled - look it up you lazy git!
Blaireau 69. Helped a lot with his thoughts and that doesn't detract from a couple of others - including b3th - who saw me being a useless mong a few days ago and helped.

He's a nice enough chap, became a bit of an object of ridicule on here after a few ill-judged comments.
S'life on b3ta.
