What was it that Chris Tarrant used to say - "fastest finger first"
Luckily I learnt to touch type 60 years ago ! (My Mother and my aunt used to teach at Pitmans in the 1930's).

How's Mr. S. doing Steff. Is he out of hospital yet ?

[Buenchico]

>>> Luckily I learnt to touch type 60 years ago

I wanna protest! Twix's amateur status must be brought into doubt, surely? He's a professional!

Chris, just remember that the keyboard on a PC takes a lot less hammering than the old fashioned upright Remington typewriters ( or the Olivetti comptometers that I used to input data when I started in the banking industry) many years ago ;-))

Nice try, Chris :))

Unfortunately not, twix - he finally had the scan we'd been asking for over the past 3 weeks and the results came back much as we feared - the cancer has spread to the bones in his back causing pain and making it hard for him to sit up, hence the problems with his peg feeds and aspirated pneumonia - things are moving quite quickly and we are looking at palliative care as he needs 24hr nursing which I can't give at home - not a happy picture at all

Very sorry to hear that Seekz, so sad when all through you have your hopes up only to have them dashed - I do know how difficult it is and I send you strength and love ♥

[twix123]
