Good News!

Well it’s been a long time coming, but, I had another liver clinic yesterday and they are very happy with my bloods.

Liver is doing great, kidneys have calmed down and my new diabetes seems to be under control With a couple of tweaks to my medication I should be tickety boo

Huge relief is an understatement

I’m 55 tomorrow which is no biggie, but as a Glasgow Rangers fan it’s an important number. With that in mind when the Champions League draw was made I noted the Rangers v Liverpool game was to be played 12/10/22.

I made a few enquires here and there about tickets and was promptly laughed at as they are hens teeth.

However, out the blue I’ve now got 2 VIP tickets for the Sandy Jardine stand tomorrow night. So stoked about this, as I had always wanted to take my son and show him what it’s all about

I let my brother know in Taiwan and he messaged me straight back saying “pick any hotel you want and I’ll pay!”

So.......... me and the lad are off on a jolly back to Glasgow for 2 nights

& I’ll be honest with you, some days last year I thought I’d never get to do this with the lad, but here we are getting ready for an amazing trip with my son. If Carlsberg did..........




Oh and I “might” be getting my Aero skirts fitted on Sunday

Great news all-round,Jock.
Pity tonight's result didn't go our way.
We were playing well in the first half,and should have taken the lead, again,but they blew us away in the second half.

Good to hear you're on the mend.

Look on the bright side Brian. In a 48 hour trip you had one minute of pure euphoria, 7 minutes of despair and 47 hours and 52 minutes of just sharing important time with your lad.
Pretty sure that not many months ago you'd have settled for that?

Jock156, anyway you still had a good time with your son. Glad to hear you’re better.

Well we are home safe and sound Had a great time with Ben (son).

Well it wasn’t to be on the night but he got to see us going 1 nil up. His face was priceless and I’ll treasure that for life. That’s what the whole trip was about

Ibrox stadium is a different class and when they scored it went off the scales

Great catch up with old friends, one I’ve known 51 years

Some pics, pity I can’t post any videos to let you guys experience what it’s all about

The first pic, is a FB post from one of my daughters (17), guess I must be doing OK

You couldn’t get a better tribute than the message from your daughter. It must make you feel immensely proud.

It's good to see you had a great time Brian.

I share your pain over the result - as a life-long Chelsea fan I've got used to getting beaten by Liverpool.

 

[jock156]

Thank you everyone one

 

[Nanu]

Liverpool haven't beaten us for 6 years!

 

[jock156]

Another couple

Imagine the Champions League anthem playing and 50 odd thousand cheering
