That song has been playing in my hean for weeks - driving me mad!
Thatāll be your bean, old bean.
Thanks for that, you just changed the record -
Well, thatāll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, thatāll be the day, when you make me cry
You say youāre gonna leave, you know itās a lie
'Cause thatāll be the day when I dieā¦
Back to the wonderful man this topic was about.
Happy 100th birthday Captain Tom

Thanks for posting this Wozza. Very moving for Colonel Tom. I know he never intended to raise Ā£30m and become a national hero but he really is wonderful.

I canāt take any more of this sickly sentimentality.
My beautiful, clever stepdaughter has incurable cancer and depends on regular injections to slow the advance of the disease.
She just had a letter from the hospital in the UK telling her that her next injection would be postponed. But they did send her a box of chocolates.
Such crass insesitivity doe nothing to cheer anyone up.
If you feel good about your charity donation, think about that. . . .
I am so sorry to hear that. Xx
Thatās absolutely disgusting Mike.
So sorry.
Poor woman, poor all of you Mike, itās desperately unfair and we should none of us forget how the decades of austerity have robbed the people in order to stuff the wallets of the super-rich, and their own. The reckoning must follow.
I do hope your step-daughter will pull through, and get the treatment she needs to keep her illness under control. All my best to you and yours.
Very sad to hear that Mike. The poor woman must be frantic with worry as, I imagine all the family are. She must be in terrible danger from catching Covid-19 and I hope sincerely that once that danger passes she will be able to resume her treatment.
I will refrain from making any more comments on this thread and would respectfully suggest that anyone wanting to continue the discussion should open another topic that you can avoid. Iām sure no-one wants to cause upset.
Stay safe and I wish you peace.

Let us hope that the postponement will not affect her treatment too much.
I am aware that a handful of units have cancelled all chemotherapy - this is actually not the general recommendation but it obviously depends on local staffing levels and priorities.
Mike - do you know the name of the drug involved? (PM me if you donāt want that on the open forum).
Exactly.
I am so sorry about your stepdaughter.
There are lots of instances recently were police officers have been given treats,ranging from small children giving packets of sweets,to large companies making deliveries to police stations
and there have been instances during this awful timeā¦ where gendarmes are giving treats/help to kids who are in need ā¦
Stop it, Eddie! And you too, Stella @smwsplr!!
I feel a rush of dreadful inflammatory puns sweeping over me, and I donāt want to raise another partisan shit-storm.
My heart bleeds ā¦all those Snickers
Probably a good thing as reading back I think we would disagree completely
Peter is only jokingā¦ (I hope)
Our Gendarmes are excellent and I am pleased to see them doing good within the Community.
Readers take careful note!
Stella is the keenest observer and unmatched judge of the subtle nuances of my various observations, a precisely calibrated weather-vane of taste and probity, which she combines with the exactitude and power of the Great Hadron Collider, but sporting a more fetching hat.
Watch with awe, and be guided by her gnomic pronouncements at all times!
