Graham,

I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone when I say if there is anything we can do to help, just ask.

Wishing you both the very best.

Hi Graham,

just an echo of everyone else's word really, thinking of you and your family at this time if there is anything you need help with just shout!

JEEzzzzzzz....Graham, although we have have never met, reading this thread siting here with aglass of wine, it makes me think what the hell are you going through!!!
you havent said whats wrong with Hazel, but its personal so dont mean to probe

sat here thinking that you and Hazel dont deserve this ( what ever it is) when you hear of the paracites in this country and what they preach.

SO.... as recently said I sincerly hope that Hazel pulls through her ill ness, you keep your job and that IF we as a united forum of which 99.9% of us I havent met, we still root for each other and will help where we can.

my thoughts are with you both at this difficult time

Graham,

do you want me to pop up and take the pixs etc ... actually my wife is in Kings with a thyroid problem ...as they say it never just rains but pours

Andy, that is really thoughtfull of you, it really is but I must make myself do something to get myself motivated and not vegitate which would be so easy to do.

When you guys club together and say how you can help me, it makes me feel so sad that it has all come down to this, I'm 60 in a couple of months time and now feel totally worthless and useless to society, I have trained a young lad for ten years and now the company I just about work for would choose him over me, I know it's the job and not the person but I still feel so hurt inside. If poor Hazel was not in the state she is in and by my side then I might be able to handle this better but now she is apart from me I feel I have nothing, nothing at all. I just want our lives and humility back.

This rambling of mine sounds so full whinging and I do appologise, I'm sure there are people more worse off than me and Hazel out there but to be honest, it doesn't feel like it at the moment

Cheers for all the back-up guys, thanks.

Graham

At this moment in time for you Graham you deserve to have a moan. Met you a couple of times at the TT meet in cambridge and you are well liked and missed there, they are all shocked to hear the news and send there best wishes. Hard to say but, keep your head up and be strong.

[HYFR]

keep strong, have hope in your heart

Graham,
I can only echo what others have said already, if there is anything I (or im sure any member) can do please pm. My best wishes go out to the both of you.

Graham,

I know where you are coming from.

Last Wednesday I met up with 8 guys who I used to work with at one of the biggest "behind the scenes" suppliers of parts to the mobile phone makers. All nine of us are currently unemployed which is wasting over 220 years of experience. We designed the first 3G phone for NEC, many of the recent 2G, 2.5G & 3G phones for Samsung and BenQ, and countless others. But we are now all "unwanted". It took most of us a few months to come to terms with this, but now we are all pursuing other options to contribute to society (e.g. some are going into teaching).

When I was out of work (between contracts) 2 years ago my wife was in hospital for major surgery and it was actually very therapeutic for me to know I could spend time with her in hospital without worrying what my boss was thinking about the time I was having off. There is a silver lining to clouds!
