Bump into my mate in the local swimming pool on Saturday morning both of us had taken our daughters for some father daughter time. Had a good catch up about the holidays we were just back from & talking general BS. Later that day we met up again & another friend BBQ again good catch up with pals. Met this lunch time for a wee Sunday run round the Ferry run with some other pals, only to have to come home ,passed his house, by myself.
RIP Bill

I take it from the RIP that someone has passed Tam but your post seems a little disjointed ? is the guy who passed away the same one you talk of in the post ?? if so when did it happen in the timescale ?
sorry mate but you have me a little confused [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img]
