You would be looking at a potentially unpredictably dispersed and mixed spatter pattern on eventual evacuation though.

The pub.

I'll be having a month or two where I'm not going to do much save a bit of casual work - I figured since I'm not having a gap year I can afford a month or two over the summer.
Then I hope to be getting involved in research (academic or business) - it might mean hanging round libraries quite a bit at the beginning!

Congratulations, I don't blame you for taking several months rest, Uni does tire you out (I never went but my Brother did & he got really stressed out at times)

Well done Tial, excellent stuff.

Reminded me when I finished my A-Levels, I got a job as a trainee accountant, but I kept putting them off starting as I was earning three times as much as a laborer on a building site ! It got to the point they thought I didn't want the job, though when it started getting wet I soon turned up!

My Great Uncle is not expected to last the day today bless him. Why, you ask, am I posting it in this thread? Well he's a great funny old man who I remember from when I was little as someone who constantly had a woodbine in his mouth, always wore a little brown hat and called me Charlie, because I looked like my Grandfather - his brother. To me it seems kind of fitting that not only are we expectant to lose him today, I'm also expectant to become an uncle today too (Well, unofficial, until September anyway...).

If someone is dying when they've had a decent life and its clearly their time, its lovely if you're able to approach the event with a smile. I know you'll be sad to lose him, and you'll miss him, but at least thinking about him will still be able to make you smile in future.

And until September you can be an Uncle-out-law. After September you can be an Uncle-in-law!

Also, you get to say goodbye, which is always a good thing. Surprisingly few people get to do that.

But as Yuds says, you can't beat dying after a decent life. And at 87, you've had a good innings.

All is good with the world today, solving problems left right and centre and tearing through my work load easier than expected.
