Give me your bank details and I'll send across enough for a Yorkie bar if you pass! Mate's Mam passed away this morning, me and the missus had a little teary hug last night, I've told him to let me know when they're ok for people to come round and I'll be there as they might want a bit of family time. Feels nothing like Christmas as it is tbh. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17765 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Sorry to hear that, what a crap time of year for this to happen. All he can do is try to focus on the good times as hard as that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30396 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Aye, really sorry to hear that, HMHM. It’s been said but it’s great that you’re there for your mate. That’s what mates are for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14042 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 All the best to you and to him, HMHM. Parents with an open door for their kids' mates are worth their weight in gold like, I imagine she'll have quietly done the world of good without necessarily even realising. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got two siblings and there’s only 30 months between the three of us. Various friends still wandered in for a chat with my folks for decades after we’d all left home… @Howmanheyman sorry to hear mate, her being at peace now is the only consolation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6302 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Sorry to hear that HMHM. Shit times Was headhunted for a job and had the interview this afternoon. Went well so fingers crossed on an offer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38752 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Sorry to hear that HMHM, as the lads have said, you’re doing everything a mate could want. On a lighter note, I smashed my test. Drive was like a well lubed piston, slipping in to gaps with no trouble ( even got cut up by a cunt in a Beemer ). They gave me a Romanian hooker to despatch, and they’re notoriously feisty, but I recited Wearside Jack as I finished her off which I think sealed the deal. Happy Christmas to me 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last couple of days, everything has just felt a little off. Like, food doesn't taste right, conversations have felt stilted, can't get comfortable in chairs or the bed. Have you tried switching yourself off then switching back on again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 2929 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 @Howmanheyman condolences mate, it's a horrible time of year to lose someone dear (not that any other time is preferable). One of my oldest mates passed yesterday and besides the shock of his passing, all I can think about is how his family now has to live with Christmas being a constant reminder of his death. And congrats @Monkeys Fist stay safe and remember you're driving a missile that to other road users is as intimidating as fuck, especially us on two wheels. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34441 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Hey Sammy, sorry to hear about your mate. That's awful, and I know what you mean about it being around Christmas. I've always thought it particularly cruel when someone goes unexpectedly at that time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that Sammy. It's fucking shit at any time, but this time of year is the absolute worst ☹️ What you used to look forward to and everyone is all pumped up for, you dread, and can't wait until it's over. Few extra days off though, which is about as canny as it gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even tried a hard reset (went out and got drunk with a mate), but yeah it's just this unnerving sense that something's up. As if I've forgotten something important, or I'm about to get in trouble for something, or whatever. It's really fucking unsettling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
