Bugger!

My name is Tony, and I've had this disease for over 20 years, in 2 months I'll be 59. I had to stop working as a heavy vehicle technician with the Fire Service 3 years ago, they were fantastic and took great care of me.

I'm sure you are all familiar with your own symptoms and I'm not going to bore you with mine, the psychological ones are the best, I've started questioning my own past, did I do that? And to my extreme embarrassment the things I've said to women!

My partner and I have been together 12 years, she's made of stern stuff... she's had to be!

Now I'm at the latter stages of the party, on a good day it ain't too bad on a bad one... I don't need to tell you, I have tried 3 times to end it and I've suffered 3 failures, once a mechanical failure, and twice a cat purring on my lap!

Nevertheless I soldier on, I have a list of problems a yard long and one day it's going to be too much but until that day it's sunny and warm 😎 Cemetery at the Somme, these were heroes...
