Just diagnosed

Salve, quam vos James (I think that's right - it's rusty after 50 years).

The only time I use my scant knowledge of Latin is when I am doing the pub quiz and it comes in useful two or 3 times a year .I thought I would never use it's great for working out obscure little used words.

AH Sims! I recognise that as a computer game but as I use the blasted things all day at work that's the last thing I would be on - but each to their own and I am amazed at the number of buildings you have created.

Apart from work I only use the computer for local history/railway research. I spend the little spare time I have watching football, walking our 2 dogs, having a pint (half if my Doctor reads this) with my mates and going on holiday.

Each to their own as I say - and a dark sense of humour - nowt wrong with that - my wife tells me I make fun of everything but I have decided life is too serious these days.....

You enjoy the weekend and we will speak soon.

Best wishes 

Brian.

Funny that Brian, I had lunch out today and my friend had pork belly with Berry Black Pudding. We asked what sort it was and they said it should have read Bury. I have never heard of it but I tried a bit and it was yummy!

Hi Linda, try him with a hot water bottle filled with cold water under the pillow. I used that when we had really hot weather (seems a long time ago now) and it is very cooling just putting your hand on it if you get hot in the night.

Like everyone here will agree ( maybe ). Stop. Take a breath and talk to absolutely everyone that knows about PC. 
You can also use the Psychological department who are brilliant to listen too. 
I remember when I was diagnosed a year ago how shocked I was. Over time I became more “prepared “ for whatever happens. 
Remember that you are not the only one and that this is survivable and with a POSITIVE attitude won’t effect you. 
cry if you need to but after get up dust off and do like I do. Find a challenge. Your choice. Lie down or get up and do something productive. 
here if you need anything 

Hi Dane1 and Welcome

Cracking post - if you go over to the topic "No Specific Topic" you will see just how mad we really are!! Boy we have had a good cry, laughed and are all doing very well because we do have attitude!!

Best wishes

Brian.

Eh Up Gina - Tha's gettin to be a reet proper Northerner - we'll ave thee talkin proper in a bit!

Yes,, Bury Black Pudding = Should be Flour, Pearl Barley. Dried Pork Blood, Pork Fat, Onion an loads of herbs and salt.

The question is = should it be boiled or fried?

Brian.

Hi Brian, I'm down yer in proper Devon. I always cook black pudding by slicing it /(about ½") and banging it in the oven. Perfect with a fry up...... haven't had one of those for months now though.

Thank you Gina.  Will try that tonight, it’s like sleeping with a lava flow

Now that's a new one on me - and to be told by "a worzel" how to eat Black Puddin', you will be having it with scrumpy I expect? I will have to watch my back when I am out tomorrow .

On a serious note - it's got to be fried surely - with the bacon and eggs - oh no -10.00pm and I don't half fancy something to eat now.

Told yer, me mum was a geordie!!!
