You may have had your problems but you must be pretty resilient to have got this far; sounds like your old man is a top bloke too...:cool:

I cannot tell you how much of a top bloke he is, if you can imagine the worst wife ever then multiply it by the nth degree I mean infinity, you won't even come near to me, really!! and he has stuck by me through thick and thin. My mother in-law through her own fault went through an 8th what we went through if not less and she is still the most resentful woman in existence, I worship my husband for having stuck with me for what I've put him through, but I still find it difficult to accept his mother mainly because she was the failure but she blames her ex hubby who has tried so hard to be supportive over 50 years only to be subjected to abuse. bloody family madness mine are no better :roll:

At least you have friends out here you can talk to who won't judge you...:cool:

Thanks :D I've looked for support from Retrobike and you have never failed me, yes I'm a better person because of you lot and my bikes :D and I'm so pleased to be so here and now mentally but BITD bike wise :D :D

Can never understand why people who ordinarily can't stand one another feel the need to socialise just because it's someone's anniversary of something?

I second that.

Sometimes you just have to tell them how you feel about such events. My family has learned not to invite me anymore.
Luckily I don't have inlaws to keep in mind, but I'm pretty sure I can teach those real quickly too.

It's always fun to go to such dinners/parties/events and telling people why you would rather not be there. Great buzzkill for everyone. :cool:

I think my mind is still living in the summer of '79... :facepalm:

...which is almost a good name for a song!

Wasn't it in '76. the summer my neighbour was burning baby frogs on the concrete :shock: she didn't like me playing with him after.

My mother in law was one of the greatest friends I have ever had.

It didn't start that way, she was very upset a non believer was dragging her daughter into 'backsliding'.

She took a few years to warm to me, but once we gelled we were the best friends in the world.

It is much more important to think of yourself and your other half as a unit, everything else will fall into place.

No, '79 for me; got the push from McDonalds for giving a mate a milkshake and only charging him for a milk ( :roll: ) so spent the summer bumming around with my friends; Friday nights upstairs at the George in Thornton Heath and most Saturday nights at the St Helier Arms, with the occasional foray to the Swan & Sugarloaf in Croydon (or even the Greyhound...) before getting disillusioned with my life and joining the Para's, much to the Warrant Officers disbelief...

...'What do you want to be a f*cking Para for? You've got O-levels!' :LOL:

My mother in law secretly tells everyone to hate me, I took her son away to a life of love, loyalty and poverty :D not as badly off as her adoptive daughter who, from a middle class family, is like the scum of the earth gangster mob type woman who's son is in prison for smashing up a women he was robbing and his grandma, my mother in law, is trying to get off, I'd rather be loyal to the good than the bad and the ugly :roll:

He's not mad Ali. He's bucking the trend of artificially stifled evolution of the human species. He craves adventure, New sights, and will for the rest of his life share the Corps de Esprit of fellow warriors, knowing he's a member of a very select band of men.

When someone at work vents their spleen me I just close my eyes and wonder what they were doing when I was getting shot at outside XMG, or when the scuds were falling on us in Riyadh. For the rest of his life he'll have a wonderful measure of what's really worth worrying about, and what sad little people use to fill their lives.
