DJ360 6,730 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Good day today. Mrs Col's cousin, who was best man at our wedding, has lived in the south since he got married 40+ years ago. His wife is a lovely girl but is now wheelchair bound with MS. Anyway, he finally managed to marshall his five kids and their respective partners, and himself and wife to come up this way. Some had never been to Liverpool before, but all said from what they've seen so far it is a great city. We met up, along with Mrs Col's two older sisters and husbands, plus some of their kids, at a Garden Centre/Restaurant near Ormskirk. A very rare gathering, but lovely to see them all. Got invited down to Chichester to spend some time with them.. which will be nice. Sadly, also found out that one of the guests at my recent 70th party has passed away. John was a true gentleman and a loyal friend. I've known him almost as long as I've lived here in the Grand Duchy. He was older than me.. around 80 and had recently been afflicted with Myasthaenia Gravis. He seemed to be slowly 'on the mend', but took ill last week and passed away in hospital. Grim. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But your right I apologise I should have sent all ladies one, will you all forgive me. For the sake of equality for the men also. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 2,016 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Barrie my comments were never aimed at you, they were meant for others. I don't think anyone on this forum could possibly find any problem with you, you appear to be a straight up sort of guy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
