it is absolutely fine Annie , no probs at all mate . I am used to the situation and do not worry about it at all . I have my life and he has his ..such as it is ? But he alone decides what he does !!! I don't make him , I have only spoken to once in about 20 years ...and that was at my Dads funeral . He was there handcuffed to two prison guards ... what a send off !! nice eh ? It was a terribly emotional afternoon . There was an army bugler there to play the last post ( as dad was ex army ) not a dry eye anywhere, heart breaking stuff , and then my little brother in handcuffs ...horrible day ....But as I say ...in general I am used to it now , so no need to be sorry mate ....I took it as the joke you indended it to be .
cheers
