I went to visit my old Dad today. It's his 88th Birthday and even though he's now wheelchair bound, with numerous other illnesses including the big C, he's all there 'up top' and loves to hear how my comping is going (especially the wins). While I was there his carer came in and asked if he had told me about his win. He then explained that he had found a code in his crisp packet and spurred on by my successes he had got his carer to ring the given number to see if he was a winner...... and he was!!! He's won a 30 minute hang gliding lesson :rotfl:

Oh that's fantastic, I bet that gave him a chuckle to win a hang gliding lesson, dare I ask if he will be taking up the offer? If so he's a braver person than I

I'd love to take him along for the comedy value, but no, the win will be declined this time

Bless him, if he wasn't in a wheelchair I bet he would take the prize x A strong man stands up for himself, a stronger man stands up for others.0
