  1. Bugger; just found out that a friend from my previous job died today. She was in ICU with Covid for a few weeks, and was even posting from there a few days ago, but didn’t make it out.

     I’ve known her for ten years. She was funny, kind and leaves 2 young kids (7 and 4), as well as her poor husband. 
    I’ve said it before, but this year can do one.

      Thanks all - Yes -  it's 8yrs since I left the firm she worked for, and although we did keep up on Facebook, especially once she had kids, we weren't close - seeing the hundreds of messages from close friends from home, work, school run etc. shows how much impact someone's passing has on those closest to her. A lot of her friends are similar: 35-45, young families.

      She wasn't even 40 - it's bloody awful - you're right @Chienmortbb; it's getting less choosy about who it takes, and although she was overweight, she had at least as many years again ahead of her.

      I lost an Uncle and his youngest (my age) son to Covid last summer - although my mum's been estranged from her entire family for the best part of 30 years, so it was slightly surreal.

      Yay! What number of progeny is this then? Long is the road to perfection in kids - largely futile too...

      Congrats!

  4. Yesterday the COV002 trial 'unblinded' me -- i.e. I was told whether I'd been in the vaccine group or the control group. Turns out I had the vaccine. Still no long-term side effects to report.
    Apart from growing the flippers, and the extra head.

  5. Sad day. Lost a dearly loved ex-colleague to cancer this morning.

  6. NBD! It’s finally arrived... ordered my once-in-a-lifetime custom bass and after 2 1/2 years of build time/delays it’s finally here.... got to be honest I’m not smitten 🥺

  7. Obviously before you posted a reply in the Huawei thread, did you not see some of the earlier posts where members are blatantly getting into politics which is not allowed on the forum. Please learn how to do your job as a Moderator properly. I have reported it but I thought you would have known better!

  8. Had a low profile on here recently....Mum died on 27th June following a stroke and bleed on the brain.

    Her suffering has come to an end.

      Thanks! I was going to start a topic but can’t link the page on my annoying phone at the moment.

  12. So, the ever present question: Do I sell all these bits of kit that I don't actually use anymore, or keep them on the off chance that a band (job) might require them in the future. I could do with the cash frankly, but the value of the kit could mean that if I buy again in the future, I could end up paying more in the long run. Hmmmmmm

  20. You know that feeling where you contemplate selling everything you really don't need and keep the bare essentials? Yeah, something like that.

      Noooo. You just need a bigger house, or an extension, or trade away a child. Any of those is acceptable surely!
