    Glad he's been found. He's suffering from Alzheimer's and is obviously not the man who once buffed Nelson's column until it glimmered.

    Alzheimer's is a bastard of a ****ing disease. Hope he's ok, or as ok as he can be.

    That's the thing with the passage of time.

    I don't mind getting older myself so much.

    It's seeing loved ones and heroes of my youth getting old that really bothers me.

    My old man got Alzheimer's 4 years before he passed away.
    It truly is a sickening disease.

    Cheers Qatar.
    As a family our main concern was that he did was not ripped off by his neighbours.
    I clearly remember on one occasion my sister and I caught a guy in his house trying to extract money.
    Within a flash my sis had him up against the wall with her hands around this guys neck and the words of "if you f***ing come in this house again I will kill you"."tell your mates to avoid this house too".
    My sister is 4'11" and he was easily 6ft tall.
    Dad was totally unaware of this conman.

    He moved in with my sis shortly after that incident.

    Cancer and dementia must be the worst of all the diseases.

    There was a funny period when my granddad had dementia, he used to tell us a story about something that happened to him, then at the end he'd ask if we thought it had actually happened to him, or if it was just something he'd watched on telly. <laugh>

    Unfortunately he went quite rapidly downhill after that and while in Castle Hill he was convinced he was back in Burma and the nurses were working for the Japanese.

    You get the funny along with the sad.
    We told my dad that my wife was expecting and my dad turned to my 9 year old step daughter and said you having a baby love<laugh>

    It's a wicked disease, my ''ex'' father in law got it in his late 50's - any humorous moments were soon forgotten when in his final days ''something'' scared him so much he threw himself out of bed and broke his arm, cos' he wouldn't stay in his bed, his last two days were spent trembling and mumbling on a mattress on the floor - he died like a ****ing dog.
