OK - it is my turn now, listen up folks!

I can only echo everyone else, I hope that this year is better than the last.

 

At this rate @Fat Controller you'll have to do a grand tour - with a bed and kettle available in every county of Scotland.

 

Kettle? well maybe after the bottle opener has been in evidence 1st

 

Am I allowed to join in and re-enact the visits of my Viking ancestors? The party bit, that is....

 

Sorry to hear of your problems FC. Despite the criticism of the health service I have nothing but praise for them. When Mrs H was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago , the treatment we got was second to none. I hope things do improve for you , on all fronts this year.

 

FC blimey mate ,I had no idea you have had such a horrible year.

Having had the pleasure to have met you at Shineys (top bloke) you appeared to be the fittest bloke on GC.........although I had imagined you to be about 30 stone at least......not at all.

In my experience you have to have bad things happen to appreciate the good times ,easy for me to say ,although you seem to have had more than your share last year.
Your positive outlook with your friend and family and GC behind you must help no end ,and you are already looking forward to Shiney’s open day .....me to.

I know you work in the fast lane of life but don’t let those bloody buses grind you down.

I just want to join everybody else and wish you a happier healthier luckier 2018.

 

I admire your spirit FC, to carry on with things as you have given your fragile health and work situation and to carry on here as though nothing is wrong to the point that many of us had no idea.

I lost my brother to the big C a decade ago, my mother has recently been through treatment and operations for it, as has my partner Anne.

But we had an extraordinary gift just yesterday as Anne and I went for a follow up appointment after her ops and treatment, and with no re-occurrence of the nasty thing, the consultant actually used the word Cured, which is fantastic news and the first time it has ever been used in connection with a medical issue (Many) and Anne.

Keep your spirits up FC and the best of wealth and health for this and following years for you and your family.
