RIPs

[Kerrin]

Was there a fire or something Goaty?

[Goaty]

yes, landlord text me that it was severe fire....

[HdE]

Sweet Cheezus, Goaty - I hope everything's okay when you return!

We had an incident in my street a year or two back. Some nutter who had been evicted from his flat decided to sneak back in and torch the mattresses there. Given that our street is basically one long terrace, that could have been MIIIIIGHTY ugly.

Do be sure to post and tell us all how it goes, 'kay?

In the early hours of this morning we received one of those life changing calls. The call said my mother in law has only hours to live. She went into hospital last week complaining of chest pains. We all thought it was nothing serious but something has gone terribly wrong. It seems she was either given the wrong medication or given a huge overdose of the right medication. This has caused a mass infection which has spread to her heart and lungs. The Doctor said there is nothing more they can do except to keep her pain free and alive until we get there. Going to drive from London later today and should arrive in Dublin by tonight..
Seeing my beautiful girl in so much pain is breaking my heart.

Nap.

[TordelBack]

That's awful Nap, that kind of a drive is a nightmare - hope you both arrive safely. 

And Goaty: fingers crossed damage isn't too bad.

[Kerrin]

Ah crap, that's harsh Nap, thoughts are with your wife and yourself.

And hope your place is OK Goaty.

Phew!  Water damage alone could have screwed you royally, glad to hear the hassle was (relatively limited.

John Barry - Very sad news.

Will have Themeology on repeat all day.

The Midnight Cowboy music sends shivers down my spine everytime I hear it.

[Daveycandlish]

In a word....  bugger

I think an evening of Bond soundtracks maybe in order
