Yes the burglar might have taken the valuables and left. Still what price do you put on an XBox?

John I am pleased he stuck to his guns on this. Even his Father who said”
During a state visit to China in 1986, he famously told a group of British students: “If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed”.

Screw the chinks you will get a lot of support for them on Teeside and Scotland. Money spent on pageantry and banquets does not put dinner on British plates!
Philip should have boycotted it as well!
Just as a bye the way William the next King in waiting after his father is happy to be seen with Rhino’s and Elephants but is happy to be seen blasting birds out of the sky. Two faced bald headed git. Yes I know flap ears is no better and his horse faced wife likes Foxhunting.

My advice for what its worth is get in tune with the majority of the populace and you might have a job in years to come!

Tiananmen Square anybody?

Thank you all for your kind comments and honesty about your own experiences. 1 week on my wife and I are still raw and only slightly better,but pain and grief hit us out of the blue and we end up in tears. I know this will pass and the happy times we had with Becky will return and the feeling of loss will recede(when I don’t know)

As for another cat the answer is no. We cannot go through this again the pain is to deep and we are to old. If a stray turned up I would pay its medical bills and find it a loving home but that is it now.

Thanks again for your replies it shows among other things that this world still has kindness in it!

Jenny and Paul

Thankyou for all your messages,Jenny and I have taken comfort from them. As you can image from my post we are both in bits, numb, very sad tearful and running on autopilot it is nice you are here for us.I would like to thank you all by PM but please forgive me for not doing so as I don’t feel up to it.

Paul

Thank you for your reply I am sorry you had to go through that as well.

SNAFU Perhaps he has been listening to “Vigilante Man” to often?

RpR why the red ink, do you think it gives you rubbish more credence?
