    good afternoon everyone,

    I hope all is well. Sorry to hear about your shingles @Elvisdog, it is very painful and can be quite nasty. I know this as I have experienced it myself not good. hope you recover how long have you had them? for about4 weeks when I first started noticing the symptoms, I didnโ€™t do anything about thought it was a general illness.

    I made plans to see a friend today but they are not well so have postponed our catch up. I shall be watching the rugby instead this afternoon, I am sure it will be a great one whoever you are supporting. Come on England!

    Have a great day, everyone.

    I knew the guy since 2006 and we had a good friendship. He did my automotive and diesel machine work which he treated me well. He was 94 and his grandson whom is just like him is the new owner took over. I was using another guy that was screwing me over and my problems went away since going to him. I know he had a good long life and ok with that.

    He sounds like a really kind person and was probably very popular too. ๐Ÿ’›

    He was and never screwed a customer. I remember bringing in a set of 350 Chevy heads to him, the previous guy that did the machine work told me nothing wrong with his work. Smoke at start up. Took them to him, found the problems on the spot. Tore them down, valve guides were worn out and the valve seats were not cut right. Found 4 bad valves too. I was happy with his work, put in new valve guides cut the valve seats including the good valves replacing the 4 bad valves. Even got me new valve cover, intake and head gaskets. I put them back on, no more smoke and called him saying problems gone. Said good to hear to me and knew I was coming back

    Afternoon folks , well , just been for a swim to clear my head and dust the cobwebs , it helps with my mental health, I'm just so so worried about what Labour are proposing re benefits , it seems like the mental health aspect is going to be clamped down on the most , I'm terrified , I self harm, have bulimia and I have HIV after being raped, I honestly don't know what I'm going to do

    Hi @Gazmo76 bless you, you've been through an ordeal. It sounds like a swim helps and it's good you keep that up to help with your mental and physical health.

    Please take care of yourself. Do you have support around you that you can talk to?

    I'm struggling really badly Holly, though I'm really doing my best to keep it together, I have my partner (though he is away visiting his mum) and my neighbour but he is at work and my godmother , she usually helps me wash and clean myself and tells me to take my anti depressants and HIV retrovirals

    Mr Teigr is supposed to be picking up a takeaway.

    I think they must have dragged him into the kitchen to wash up.
