Awake and up all night

You're welcome xxx

Gill, I am like you regarding forgetting more than I knew (if that is possible ) but I have never used a smartphone and haven't a clue how to use one. As for Julie's clever linking, I thought it sounded useful then fell at the first hurdle...couldn't find a triangulated dotty thing anywhere. If we need to link something, we'll have to wait for mods or call Julie .  xx

 You always make me laugh, Ray.

I know what you mean, but I used to be pretty good with computers, working in a school, but I'm flipping hopeless now.

I hope Julie realises she's made a rod for her own back, and we'll be pestering her to do the honours from now on xxx

I'll never be able to do it again Ray! I think it was a bit of a fluke!!

Oh dear!!

Well after an abysmal day as far as the football went, you and Ray have cheered me right up, so thanks you two xxx

I lost interest in football after George Best left Man United. I keep a watchful eye on snooker via you tube but that's about it for sport.

Today I've had to prove that I'm not a robot 3 times!!!  Is it because my joints creek and squeak, I look as though I'm always about to fall over and I seem to need recharging in my armchair for 6 hours per day???  

 You never fail - I bet you could fashion Christmas cracker jokes for a living Ray, but you're probably too witty for those.

I'm partial to most sports but football is my passion. I went to my first Leeds match aged 13 and have been a diehard supporter for going on 55 years. I know all the grounds and fully understand the off-side rule, although some refs tend to forget it, depending on who's in their favour.

Anyway Ray, the robot stuff does my head in too, and sometimes I can hardly make out the CAPTCHA pictures on my phone. I must get the tablet back out for the bigger screen. Grrrrr 

I have read a lot of the comments on the page to day i havant been on the page for a week as i have been trying to sort things out with stagecoach who i have worked for the last 26 years but the union said to finish on ill health because of all the infection i kept having because of the kidney cancer but like i said there are others people who are not very well i think of them evary day and the lovley people who are in the page my heart goes out to all of you and your family your so brave what you are going through xxxx 

Evening Steve, and thank you for your lovely comments, but don't leave yourself out as you're brave too, having gone through it also, my friend.

Regarding the issue with Stagecoach, have they offered you a redundancy package that takes into account the fact that you're a cancer patient? As others have said on here, it's classed as a disability, not a liability, and should be treated as such. But that's my outlook, so don't take it as gospel.

If I was in your position, and I wasn't getting satisfactory answers from the union, I'd contact Citizens Advice and see if they could help. Sorry if none of this has given you food for thought Steve xxx
