I wouldnât fault you. That paragraph about the young lad finding the leaflet is horrific.
Brother in law had the same condition. My Mrs always wondered whether he knew what was coming, reckons he did but said nothing. Youâd hope thereâs some reward on the other side for them and the parents.

English football needs to learn from the Continent and put these on midweek nights.

I wouldnât mind but they always seem to fall on weekends when thereâs no NFL action.
That applies to both the Irish NFL and the Yankee NFL.
The Yankee NFL can fuck off.
A good oulâ mate of mine was dealt an hammer blow on Saturday morning when his wife had a brain tumour/stroke. Sheâs on life support awaiting/hoping for a transfer to Beaumont.
Game over in my mind. I checked the RIP siteâŚDisasterâŚ
His mother (adoptive at 94) is dead now.
We can spoof and have the craic but thatâs a bad call.

Heâd be more or less potless God help him. I was there all evening - he doesnât know which side of him is upâŚ
His great friends were there - to a manâŚI discreetly sussed the gathering and we agreed between us that weâd fund the funeral. I know in my heart of hearts if the roles were reversed heâd be the main man âŚ
Loyal friends are a thing to treasure.

Sad, sad occasion. My mate was adopted but, by Christ, did he love herâŚ94 is a good run and she looked 64.
In true rural style we had what weâd call a âtangleâ with the undertaker. A top/understanding guy.
He came into the pub afterwards and stuck the receipt - docket into my pals top pocket, marked PaidâŚ

Schoolfriend of mine in a serious accident this morning, himself and his daughter in critical condition, not looking good. Sometimes life is indeed shit.

Sorry to hear that chief. No matter how bad you think it is, thereâs always someone worse off.
As lad said to me once âIf everyone in this room put their problems on the table, youâd be glad to leave with your ownâ. Really put things in perspective.
