Title says it all.
After a sh*tty 2015, it's finally ending better. Thanks for all your words (even the Arse*nal scum musings) and advice through those months. January 2016 will bring a rubberstamp to all the court action and quite possibly an IPCC investigation in to them!

I hope you all have a family/friends filled day as that's the true meaning of Christmas (and maybe a few gadgets too)

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i`m dying are the best i`ve ever had.

Yeh, Merry Christmas.

We even got my mother-in-law out of Hospital today after a month in there getting fixed for a very serious illness, (Great work to the NHS and to all the staff from surgeon to doctors, nurses, porters, cooks and cleaners , they are all just amazing) and now she is camped out on a bed in our living room.

Her words to me were "do I have to go back to hospital after Xmas", should I answer that  
 
No that's cruel, glad she is out, my wife is beaming, she has her mother at home (but not her home, my home), he he, but its worth it to see everyone happy.

So there you are, mother-in-law staying for Christmas in the living room 24/7, telling me not to drink or eat too much, every five seconds, yeh, Happy Xmas!

merry Christmas y'all seems like my year wasn't so bad after all, anyway let's hope we all have a better one next year :)

Have a good one folks...can't wait to see the back of 2015.


IN MADNESS YOU DWELL

Not sure I should respond to the anti Arsenal crack but we winners have to be magnanimous.
May all your non-football wishes be granted.

It's worth remembering sh*t happens and said sh*t takes no notice whatsoever of clocks and calendars so whenever sh*t is looking the other way grasp the opportunity.

...and Bandi.
Mum in law is on the couch and the beer is in the fridge which on this side of the planet should be in the kitchen ie: away from the couch. Sufficient visits to which should numb the pain.

Happy ya da ya da and
a merry blah blah blah

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

Merry Christmas everybody!

May the coming year be great for everyone!

We will pay the price but we will not count the cost..

Got to finish the story, as its good to know how it ended, (Sorry its a long one).

Update on my mother-in-law overcoming severe illness, and was recovering in my house (from my above thread on the 24th Dec 2015)......

At last the 'Wicked witch of the North' has got the all clear and can now go back to her own home, and I can get my sofa back, my living room back,  and my house back 

What had happened was a bout of Jaundice.

Now a lot of people including myself, though it was just a case of turning yellow for a while, then getting your life back to normal, but it can be very life threatening as in my mother-in-laws case.

The bile duct had blocked, and the belarubin produced in the skin, makes the skin turn yellow, but the actual itching of the skin due to this,  is as in my mother-in-laws words 'a trip through a roasting hell', and in the old days people just died from it (nastly).

Anyway a 'stent' had been put down into her bile duct via her throat by an expert surgeon (well done that man, an un-named hero, though we do know his name). A stent its a flexible metal tube placed in to open the blocked duct, and it has taken these months for her liver and blood levels to return to normal, and now my wife is going to stay at her mums house till she is fully recovered and got her strength back and walking again.

When this happens to a relative, you realise how wonderful the NHS is. From A&E, to wards, to operations, to recovery, and when back home 'aftercare in the community' kicks into action. It all works, and makes us proud in the UK to have such a system in place, making good use of the money we as tax payers put in to it.
