Welcome back Wayne
Had a crap night tonight. Talking to the wife of my mate in the pub tonight (we both got in early so we could), who I told you had lung cancer. We thought it was clearing up but apparently not, he’s been given a few few weeks to one or two months to live. Of course she was distraught. She doesn’t want to say anything to our group of friends at the moment as she’ll just burst into tears. I’ll see him later today and take him a pint of beer, he’ll enjoy that. I’ll offer to quietly speak with all of our friends so they don’t all ask the same questions and ask them to keep her spirits up. I know getting old is crap, but I couldn’t even imagine in my nightmares what these last two years have been like…sorry to burden you but I need a release from the crap that’s going on around at the moment…I’ll be fine in the morning…….
There are no words ,Pete .
Good morning all on this fine sunny day .I hope all are well after a good night and that @peteblue has managed a few winks .
Without being dramatic this biopsy got me thinking ,knowing that it is a test for some cancers it dawned on me that it could be serious ,strangely I was not sad .
I have had a good life and my fears of being incapable before going would not happen so I am quite at ease with it all .Hopefully it is just a doctor being thorough and covering all bases but if it isn't so be it .I would only hope I could show some of the grace and inspiration of our own Karl .
On a less down to earth note ,it is nice to see Klopp going albeit the papers are full of him at the moment ,as he will certainly be a hard act to follow .
I sincerely hope the new guy will be Ten Hag the second .Have a great day all .COYB

So sorry to hear about this Pete. Good luck that you find the right words
Went into to town yesterday . To say Liverpool was buzzing would be a massive understatement.
As I walked up Bold St all you heard was a multitude of different accents and absolutely loads of foreign voices. It is incredible how Liverpool has become a magnet for tourists, a completely different city in that regard from the Liverpool I met when in moved here in 1982.
Met a RS mate and we had a lovely pizza and split a bottle of wine in Rudy's before wandering up to the Philharmonic Music Room to see Gordon Giltrap and John Etheridge, 2 virtuoso guitarists.
The Music Room is a lovely little venue holding about 200 , with wonderful acoustics and a little bar.
As I walked back to Central it was equally busy.
Great night .

If you ever have a walk down Lark Lane on a summer's day or evening, you'll get a very similar vibe. I had a quick pint last night on the way home and t'was great.
Today is about an academy game for my son this morning before we head off to the Albert Dock for a bite to Maray (owned by a top blue!) and a wander around.
Not been to Lark Lane for years Phil. Used to love Keith's, Marantos and Aloutte.
I like Maray. Didn't know that a Blue owned it.
Good luck to your lad and his team today.
You are already doing the best you can by talking to your mate and his wife openly about what is happening. They will really appreciate the comfort of your friendship and you not shying away from the situation.
You aren’t getting much of a respite at all, it has been a hard couple of years for you but no better man for it.
As an aside, I was at a political lecture last night and the subject of an EU army was brought up. I had a wry smile as I thought this is the sort of discussion you would enjoy
It's now a one-way street (from Aigburth Road end) and about a 1/4 of the road has been pedestrianised so the bars etc. have al fresco seating outside.
Both are still there, but you now have such a wide array of places to eat and drink to meet most tastes, plus there are lots of great coffee shops and independents.
It's well worth a visit.
An EU army ? It will never happen. The Europeans can't / won't properly fund NATO let alone create a new army.You are already doing the best you can by talking to your mate and his wife openly about what is happening.

It’s only natural for your mind to play out all eventualities while waiting on test results. It is as you say, your Doctor giving you a full MOT just to be doubly sure.
Re Klopp, tired of hearing about him going but at the same time it is great the way he has done it = his team flopping spectacularly and key players all the wrong age profile. Arse Slot will be gone by Easter.
Are Green Days Cafe and the Mexican at the Park end ( can't remember the name ) still there?
Really must schedule a lunch or tea and visit the palm house at the same time
Good luck to your son this morning, let us know how he gets on Phil.
