Going Forward
Quote from DavidFullard on November 7, 2023, 10:44 pmSo…here we are…same old Forum, brand new site. We ‘Famous 5’ [I include Freddy] have it within our wherewithal to repay Freddy and Nick’s sterling work on the new site by using it as a medium of debate snd discussion. As I have said before, there are few regimental reminisces left that haven’t been discussed over and over but there are so many other topical subjects worthy of our opinions and discussion.
This forum is a ‘safe place’ we are basically all kindred spirits united by the years we served together. No trolls on here, no ‘wokism’ snowflakes or grammar police. We can let off steam to our hearts’ content….safe as I say. Let’s make a concerted effort to keep the Forum alive and thriving. There ARE lots of ‘passive’ members who read our posts.
Incidently this new site is high tech Lol. I accidently posted this before I had finished it and then I saw the ‘edit’ facility, back to my post I came, to finish it.The teething issues have been worth it …thanks again to Freddy and Nick.
Stay safeDavid

Quote from DavidFullard on November 10, 2023, 9:13 amThanks Bob, our daughter of course died of the same cancer 7 years ago this month.I get involved in Pancreatic Cancer awareness and charity work this time of the year. Our ITV regional news programme [Calendar] featured Diana and my cancer story on Tuesday both on the 6pm and 10pm news. I hour of filming and interviewing me beside and on the beach by our holiday home produced 6 minutes of TV but our gorgeous girl’s photo lit up the TV screen.
As for meds, not counting my 5 daily insulin injections I take 14 tablets at breakfast and 8 before bed. She who must be obeyed is the Tablet Controller, V fills the daily am/pm tablet marked tablet containers and presents them to me. I have no idea what she is feeding me drug wise but I have noticed hair sprouting on my ears lately Lol.
