Man-tears

[Bush Tucker Man]

Two years on after a few failed treatments i still have cancer but im still fighting. The only way is up or so im told!

Panda

That's the only way!!

If Lance Armstrong can beat it (& he was only given a 20% chance of survival at one stage!), so can you.
Okay..... perhaps you're not going to win 7 Tour de Frances :lol:, (& compete in multiple Marathons) after your recovery, but you'll win your own battles with it!

Real tears today:

I just heard that a well loved, admired and outrageous fool of a friend has just passed away.

A sad loss for all of the underground community.

For me it every 11th november when i remember mates i have lost. Plus the seeing the lancaster fly puts atear in my eye when i think of all the young men and woman that died for our freedom.

Plus these two videos put a tear in my eyes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TndC-kKnuY4  watch it till the end.

A good choice of vids, mate. I heard the first one not long after my eldest started his first tour over there. Nearly crapped myself everytime I heard the words 'bomb, shooting, Northern Ireland' in the same sentence.

Mother dying;  saying goodbye to the dog before parents took him to vet for the last time;  and at the end of Schindler's List I was in floods of tears, in the middle of the cinema.

I have to bite my tongue when kids are dying on the news, and oddly enough I quite often get a bit emotional when an ambulance goes past with the lights on  :-.

Gresh's little ones set me off :'(

The little kid (2 or 3 years old) crawling through barbed wire in africa to get away from genaside.

watching the sun come up the first day of my eldest sons life through the window of special baby care wondering if he'd see another.

Basically anything with Kids being ill treated or cheated...

Oh and great people getting sick and bad'ens being fit as a fiddle :roll:

OY !! Panda you fat yet??? :lol:

saying goodbye to the dog before parents took him to vet for the last time

When I took Jack, I ended up 'in floods' as was the wife
When I first found out he had Bowel Cancer, I ended up breaking down on the shoulder of one of the Sisters & being sent home on compassionate grounds (I think that was partly to save me saying something to any 'oxygen thief' patients we might have had that particular night)

I quite often get a bit emotional when an ambulance goes past with the lights on  :-.

Blimey, if we did that everytime one arrived :lol:
Mindst you, it's a cunning plan, they might think they've upset us & go findanother Hospital to drop off at :-k :-k

A few weeks ago, a young (23 months old) child in our village (Robbie Jones) was rushed into hospital with suspected meningitis.
He has just been discharged from hospital and allowed to come home after treatment and surgery for this awful condition.
He has had to have both legs amputated, one above and one below the knee, and has also had to have the ends of his fingers on one hand removed.

this picture of his older sister 'nursing' him while in hospital has caused many a tear in the village!




there are lots of fundraising events going on for Robbie & the Meningitis Trust

I think for me it would have to have been the deaths of Richard Burns and Colin McRae. Both talents cut short well before their time.

I read recently that Markko Martin (whose co-driver Michael "Beef" Park was killed in a crash on the Rally GB in 2005) is going to team up with Robert Reid (Burns' co-driver for most of his career) to drive the course car on a forthcoming event. I suspect there'll be more than a few spectators feeling a lump in their throats, especially as they'll be driving an ex-McRae Impreza 555.

Aye that carries weight with me and the death of Barry Sheen, one of the best 500cc riders ever, mind you he also did a good line in formula 500 commentary as well.
