My condolences on your loss. Take care.
Morten, when the French fails you, you should turn to the Dutch!
I have only just seen this on this thread. Not one I follow. I understand you as my Dad made the same journey 18 months ago. He was lucky and only had 4 months in a home. I was happy for him to go. I had lost the man called my farther a long time ago. All the things I know he did not want to happen to him, happened. This made me sick and sad. My Mum has moved on and we can remember him as he was before Dementia. It kills all around the person with it. We are now free to think of the good times we all had. Hope you and yours do too.
Perhaps it is time for an Armistice.
I saw a few pages back a bottle of chocolate porter. While spending a delightful time with the crew from Ohio running WoG games at the USAF Museum for the 100th anniversary of WWI, we went for dinner and I had a wonderful chocolate Guinness beer milkshake. It is now one of my favorites.
Rory, Sue's Dad has dementia. It's truly sad to see the increased loss each time we visit.
I am pleased to see that you were well enough to post a message here, Rob.
Thanks for the goodwill chaps.
my pick of the day is.
I am very glad you're back, Rob.
I will drink to my Admiral Croft who incidentally is a fan of port since the 2015 solo campaign.
It has a compass rose, making it vaguely naval.
Everyone should be a fan of port!
Yes, but even then, some sailors are bound to wine, being unable to beer the conditions.
AAAGH! Back to the Pun-nic wars!
Richard, there's no sense we getting into a row over this, for I would hate to be on the receiving end your grapeshot. So I say we reserve our port puns, refrain from expressing any negative sediment, keeping our comments bottled up, and fortify our friendship which is worth more than a precious ruby.
I'm all for reserve on the puns Eric.
That pun was fino Eric.
Well it was a bit dry.
I would rather have the stout, than the grog they serve on that old tub!
No! I am honestly not printing my own labels.
I can only plead eye trouble. WELL actually not reading all the posts today.
You are of course excused for medical reasons and may very well do as you please. Any time you do something you can always call out "Doctors orders!" and it will be in perfect order.
Signal? I see no signal!
Perhaps flags are better signals.
Methinks I just went blind again.
This picture is interesting because of the unusual can top. It shows what was available before ring-pulls.
Starting to run out of shot shipmates, but did find this one.
Has anyone posted these? I am starting to lose track! and unique beers too!
Not sure Richard, but reuse is O.K. if you are making a story up like that to help with the flow. I also think now we are getting short of new tipples that other drinks with a seafaring nature could be included, as Port has already become acceptable. Rum thing that in my opinion.
I just made that up too.
I post Atlantic ale yesterday so I thought that it is only fair to post Pacific ale today. There appears to be competition for the title.
It is the largest ocean so I expect sailors become very thirsty there, hence the great variety.
Mine had better be this one then Dave.
I would have trouble drinking much either! - though my liver appreciates that!
