Thanks SB. I have my heart set on a Nikon D3300 DSLR which with a separate zoom lens is priced at £405 in Curry's. If you can better this then I'd be interested!
Hi SB, I managed to get hold of a good camera at last, thanks. It's "pre-loved" but in immaculate condition. It's a Canon EOS 550D. They're normally around the £500 mark but I got one for £239 including EFS 18-55mm lens.If you send me a PM on Monday I will try and find out for you.
All the best to you mateLatest news is I will have to have some "intensive chemotherapy" at University Hospital as an in-patient for a couple of weeks in January sometime before having the transplant. No donor yet, my brother wasn't a match. I have to go to Heartlands next Friday to see this consultant guy who will talk about the process, etc.
Anybody want to go halves on a signed Gilbert book with a personal message for Torch?
I reckon he would do a public signing for you as well?
He can sit at the end of my bed anytime he likes! I wonder if we will see him tomorrow?
That makes it read like I am going to be in your bed tomorrow?
I'm so sorry you said PM only didn't you?!

Just seen this thread and like so many others can only wish you the best as we have been affected by terrible illnesses in our families. You positivity is inspirational though makes my rubbish day at work embarrassing at best! Keep your chin up and the support will be here from everyone
He's been there enoughGood luck Torch. Shame that you may miss the away game at Sixfields at the end of Jan though!
My theory is pretty much everything we eat, drink and touch, and the air we breathe contains poisons. Have a Happy Christmas! Just don't eat, drink or touch anything or breathe too deeply.<snip>. I'm no expert but this type of health issue has become quite common these days [ Why ?, will we ever get any answers on that ? } <snip>
I've got similar, HH - a Canon 40D. The only thing 'iffy' about it is that it tends to under expose. For most shots I need to use the exposure compensation and adjust it up by just under one stop.Hi SB, I managed to get hold of a good camera at last, thanks.

More news today. I have to have a Hickman Line inserted first week in January. Sounds uncomfortable. Now stuff is happening it makes me realise how serious this thing is. December was a bit of a lull really, wandering down to Warwick Hospital having a weekly blood test and basically staying at home and chilling out all day, now it is starting to happen it is getting scary!
Just googled it, doesnt look nice. Although I guess its better than needles all the time!
True. I'm sure it looks worse than it actually feels. Has to be in for a few weeks too.
I am 100% total atheist and do not believe in any God whatsoever, but when someone comes along and offers to include someone in their prayers, I feel very humble. I sometimes wish I had a God to turn to sometimes, believe me, I've tried, but I just don't believe. I hope you don't get any ribbing or sarcastic remarks over your beliefs. It wouldn't be right. Stick with them. If they give you comfort in life then they must be doing some good. I'm sure Torchy will gain some comfort knowing a fellow City fan will be praying for him. I would, but as I said, I have no God to pray to. All the best.Best of luck to you, mate; whether you believe in The Almighty or Jesus Christ or not, I'll include you in my prayers tonight. The Lord has truly been there for me during this past 3 years, where my life hasn't been touched by illness or ailment, but great turmoil, drug addiction and emotional upheaval. I gave myself to Him, and although I'm not by any means a 100% scripture-abiding Christian, the Lord has helped me. Truly. (Cue much ribbing and sarcastic remarks, but hey ho.)
God bless, hope you're doing ok by the way.

I wouldn't like to get into a debate why I am an a total atheist, but let's just say I was brought up in a Catholic convent in the 1950's by extremely strict nuns and priests. So badly, in fact, that I wrote my autobiography to explain my childhood. I'm afraid God and Jesus abandoned me years ago, but these days, I have no problem with people who have their beliefs whether they be Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Sikh. I've been bitter against religion for most of my life but now I seem to have mellowed in my old age.Very gracious of you, HH, very gracious indeed.I know how difficult it is to actually BELIEVE in The Almighty, but I took the route via Jesus Christ, and through Him I've grown much closer to God. It's hard to describe, it's like a comforting sensation that washes over me when I ask The Lord for guidance, and all I did was put myself in His hands, completely. It's never too late to find Him, HH.
Again, thanks for your exceptionally gracious and compassionate words. God bless, and trust me, He is always with you.
Thanks for those kind words Bawtryneal! Means a lotApologies, I have only just caught up with this thread. Must have been on a different planet the last month
All the best to you and your family. Keep them involved and I am sure they will offer lots of support and comfort.
Your circumstances puts the rest of the nonsense we discuss on here into perspective.
All the best to you and let's all hope for a return to good health during 2017.
