    Hi guys

    Just popping on to say that I probably won't be about for a few days as yesterday my dad passed away.

    Now I know that last week I had a complete rant about him, but this has come as a complete shock even though he's been ill - what saw him off was totally unrelated.

    You guys have been amazingly supportive to me over my last few stressful weeks.

    I feel that I can post here as we are not ready to put anything on facebook yet - I hope you guys don't mind.

    RIP Dad - I love you.

    Sorry from me too.

    Take care.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
