this last month has been one of fear for me .went to the doctor for check up . to my horror the doctor declared himself unhappy with certain things regarding my health and and sent me for tests re possible cancer . as you can imaging i was in shock and left the surgery with my head and my life shattered all sorts of things entered my mind . how was i going to tell my wife and children etc etc . but inside there was this unbearable fear as my world crumbled around me . after the shock of hearing him telling me the possibilities and armed with letters for ultra sounds and blood tests i walked to my car and life took on a different meaning . would i see my children fulfill their dreams and would my grandchildren remember me these were some of the thoughts that ran through m mind . every night lying awake trying no to focus on death , the waiting became very stressful , today was the day i'd know my faith , speaking of faith its amazing how dependent you become on prayer .so i rang the surgery to find out the results , i can assure you it is one fearful time .the doctor was not available and his sec told me he would ring me after surgery finished , again the waiting was horrific .eventually around 11.30 this morning he rang with the news . i'm fine no traces of cancer the relief is fantastic .just thought i'd share that with you if you were having a bad day on her .god bless.

that's a relief mate, makes the point that you've just got to get on with it day by day - my best mate dropped dead in the loo of a 125 pulling into Paddington a couple of years back - never had a day's illness etc, you just don't know what's around the corner
None of us know what tomorrow holds, thats good you got good news. I know your fear , i went through a nightmare before getting the all clear. Makes you think differently.

was even in SPK saturday night
thats sad , even when he lost his leg he was still fun of life , a lesson in how to face adversity to us all r.i.p.
Jes us wept. Robo,do u actually do anything else but sarcasm?
Whilst not a fan of baring ones soul on a forum,taking the pi ss out of cancer fears was bad but mocking the dead is a new low even for the forum idiot.The gent who said 'sarcasm is the lowest form of wit' must have had u in mind.Grow up or at least grow a braincell.

Workrider, Hi mate , just seen this, great stuff, all the best.
Apologies,in my anger at the forum idiot I forgot to wish Workrider and his family all the very best.Thankfully a happy ending,God knows every ray of sunshine is welcome nowadays.
i afraid winston or boris what ever they call you these days look back through the thread and you will see i supported workrider and condemed galway59 and for your remark about paddy byrne he was a friend of mine so dont post on things you know nothing about.
thanks boxingthefox . think i made a mistake putting it up on here though , was only trying to put losing money on here and real disaster into prospective . potential lunatics on here gobbled it up and turned their madness on me .some on here have the mindset of fanatics and are only happy been miserable . i have to pray for the really sick ones god love them . hope your health is better mate , i know its been hard for you .hopefully you'll be able to meet up with us for a few days racing in the uk come springtime .
lads fair is fair i offer pipe of peace sorry all its gone to far got mixed up.u wont belleve me but mick laly i got mixed up with so there
Thank god wonky is still with us , another few years he will have cleared the whole place .
I don't really see the benefit of bringing these threads to the top of the forum.
These days are long gone.

I think its one of the all time great posts that is the initial one .Wonky looking for sympathy for not having cancer and actually getting it .Pity wildclown wasnt around that time,at least now he can offer his condolences.
thats v good news wr.
i was actually diagnosed with cancer a few years ago and now look at life in a different light. nothing matters after youve been thru something like that!
all the best.

i read last nignt about the first guy who made the transition from gaa to aussie rules.a former kerry minor called sean wright.he never drank or smoked and dies at 46 years.was afitness fanatic and then this happens to him.a guy near me drinks 8 pints and a few whiskeys every night and smokes 30 cigs a day and hes 75..life and death is a puzzle sometimes.
To realise how sick The Lavender Hill Mob are just read Bobbybocalas post of 30/9/10 at 12.22.Mincer has graduated from his usual one word post of..up...to the Irish version.
wild**** pity someone didnt inject u with the big c..u horrible p-r-i-c-k
w@nkrider..anyone who reads this thread will see that the sad individual who started the thread is indeed the sicko that needs the help...
Boobybocala youre a disgrace to yourself to put filth like that up about anybody.
bobby, wonky isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but you're crossing a line...
Amazing the way Bobbybocala, who finds long posts difficult,is silent for ages but when he is mentioned on here returns in double jig time,proves my point that he is reading every line just like Mincer.
There is more to Slickster than meets the eye,i am glad to see that he realises just how cowardly and revolting Bobbybocala is.

Glad your ok Workrider. Bobbys comments are unacceptable and should be silenced for good.

Good news Workrider, glad everything is all clear.
Not so good on here with the news that the cancer that is the premium charge has become more aggressive.

thanks one and all ..gollum i.e. bobbybocola , has brought this thread back up along with a couple of his cohorts ..i'm fine thanks ..it was last september but the poor demented fool just had to find something to occupy his evil mind....we should all pray for him ..it must be horrible been him....
good to hear wr, the one thing about betting, I suppose it kind of prepares a person for lifes knock backs in a way. (the injustice), keep knocking in 33/1 shots and go out swingin[;)]
I don't think Mincer will thank you for this,it shows an obsessive cruel mind.
Eight times he has brought this thread back to life and it again does the opposite of what its intended.
Does Mincer not see it shows how popular Workrider is and shows up his Lavender Hill Mob for what they are.

I don't think Borneo is being very authentic here.
Why did you dodge him in Thurles?
How are you encouraging him to continue with this drivel?
Have you read his thread on the HR forum where he can't compose the title without using expletives? If that was other forumites on here, you would be condemning them for their foul language, yet they're the only adjectives in Wonk's vocab.
The forum isn't a place for detailing your daily hygiene routine, planned excursions or family health issues.These are continuous and not one offs.
