Billy,
When I made my post I had no way of knowing your condition.
Being honest, I did not believe that you were old enough for national service.
I had looked at your posts. Here is the first.


"See work has got underway at Colditz Castle in the town of Colditz near Leipzig to house the England supporters. We can all be assured they will never let us down when it comes to punch up's, wrecking businesses, breaking windows, insulting people in the street, breaking the odd jawbone of a passing 80 year old in the street. Ah all to look forward to. Oh not forgetting their National Front jibes and songs in the terraces. "

You should be proud. There is nothing in this or any of your posts to suggest Alzheimers.

I was angry when you said that you had found some of my posts that made me a liar. I am glad now that I only politely asked you to repeat them. I even offered to make the links for you if you could only give the thread name and the dates.
That offer still stands. Perhaps your grandson could help you.

Two people very close to me have been cursed by Alzheimers.
One still lingers.
I can not imagine how I could have persuaded either to start posting to an internet forum. Your grandson must be a remarkable person.

To anyone who may be thinking that this thread is just a cynical ploy to make me look bad I say SHAME. No one could be that low.
