May I pick up the Turkey trail for what I think is a nice little story?

In 1960 we visited Izmir, Gaziemir and Eskisehir, checking on the flying standards of the airforce.

We were introduced to one of their youngest pilots who had just landed in his F100 (?), with his 'wingman', from a very testing 'operational' sortie.

But no chance of 'had a tough day at the office, darling' when he returned home to his lovely young wife -

- she was his 'wingman'. = Tim

PS - Wonder if Canli Balik - that wonderful fish restaurant -  still operates up the Bosporus on the right?

Sorry Tim, too young for those activities as I joined after the war, and enjoyed travelling the world "showing the flag" as they say, so all very enjoyable. Never been to Turkey though, went to more exotic places like the Caribbean, USA and Ceylon amongst others. So when you went to Turkey was the year I was demobbed !!

Hi Bob,

Great site, love the pics and the music.  Some of the photos I couldn't get into though and why is some of your site in a foreign language?   ???

Sorry about your accident but glad to see you are getting around ok now. :)....Pat
Happy gardening all...........Pat

Oz, I've just read this & I'm crying...how does life go on after that? :'(  where's the sense and where's the justice? I'm so very very sorry. Can't possibly imagine how I'd cope if bad things happened to my son. ...absolute bloody nightmare for you both and a particularly dreadful, dreadful time of year - Lish

To Pat re my site - it`s like that because it is still under construction and an ongoing project. The foreign language is latin which has to be deleted to input other content as and when I get the urge!! Glad you enjoyed the site anyway will try and fix the pictures not loading in due course.
Ozzy - what a bummer. A very very sad experience of life, and yet another saga of how the judiciary fail to meet our expectations and give us the wrong decision or the wrong punishment to fit the crime. It seems to favour the criminals now rather than the victims. I`m surprised Ian Huntley did`nt get away with it after all, or  like Van Hoostraten on a technicality.
I wish you well and hope Christmas will be kind to you in someway.
Bob :-/

Oz, what can I say, not much really.  A senseless waste which  words cannot describe.  Thinking of you oh tall and strong Oak tree - you know we all live for your babbling, even though I really don't understand it sometimes and Ava has to translate  :-/.  

Love

Sorry Oz, what can anyone say to that, you know we are all right behind you man, and if you feel the need to talk give me a call and i WILL come and help, or try to.
I know it's hard but keep on trucking.

Puts some other folk's 'troubles' into perspective?

We shall remember that with lasting sadness. = Tim

....Ozzy..........what can we say..... but I can barely understand how impossible it could be to come to terms with that..

......sorry just sounds a small word when I type it, just hope you have learned to live with it.....

......thanks for letting us see a bit more about you......(and no I don't think we see you as a wayne cur......) it is very, very interesting to see all the different characters who come here and share their lives....and you are certainly one that gives us a high SMILE-TO-POST ratio.....

Thinking of you and yours......
....we are all visitors to this earth........enjoy your stay.....:)

Not many people know the pain Oz thank God,but I too know it for I have lost a Son.Not under the same circumstances therefore I know that yours must be even deeper than mine.Time does help but not a great deal.Keep in there is all that I can say and if you do want to talk,talk I never could.

Ozzy,

We haven't 'spoken' before but I have always read your zany messages with interest, and you have  cheered me up on many occasions. :)

What can I say that hasn't been said by all the others.  I am so sorry for your loss and hope that coming out and talking about it has helped to ease your pain a little.

Pat
Happy gardening all...........Pat

Ozzy - can add nothing to the other messages, except another inadequate "I'm sorry"; and a thank you for sharing it.

How very inadequate is the written word. Sorrow is easily wriiten, but it does not come close to how both Anne and I feel. I have to admire your immense courage in sharing your pain with us. It is a very hard thing to do (as I know full well). All I can say is thank-you. I ll have to post as I cannot see the screen.

Hi Ozzy,

Like the others I don't know what to say to you about the loss of your son Jamie. It is just too difficult to find anything that comes near to the shock and sorrow I think we all feel at the moment.

Since joining the boards I have always looked forward to your posts to lift my spirits when I'm down. I hope that our messages have done for you just a little of what you have done for myself and others. You are so obviously 'one of the family' over here and I would feel privileged if I could ever have even half the love and respect that the others here clearly have for you.

Murder is one of the hardest things in life to cope with especially when it happens to one so young. If only you could have had closure on the matter.
You are an amazing human being Ozzy, one of a kind, thankyou for sharing your feelings with us and for simply being YOU.

We'll all be thinking of you on Chritmas Eve with love. Eileen.

 



EILEEN.
