Default October 1st - I'm leaving.

I'm not writing this for sympothy or attention, i'm just writing it to tell you all that i'm leaving the forums (and the internet) and the reasons why.

Recently we found out that my dad has Lung Cancer, He's currently receiving treatment in the form of chemotherapy.

Because of the disease he has had to leave his work, putting my family under financial strain. My mum also left her work because we would receive more money if she's a full time carer.

Since we are struggling financially we have had to cut out all non-essential bills including the internet along with quite a few other things. This means that i wont have any way of accessing the internet which means i'll be leaving this forum.

Like what Homik said, there should be internet services in the Hospital as well. You will find that amougnst all the time that you will be spending with your dad, you should find at least half an hour a week to unwind and relax a bit.

I hope you Dad gets better soon, you will be missed.

Why should u go offline?

If no one is working in your household u can claim "benefits".

My missus suffers from IBS so we get an extra allowance for that but in a week from the state we get a total of £308.99 before any bills are paid. We also have our rent paid for along with council tax. hats not enough for some of us but for you, well at 18 u should have ur own house.

He is not you, therefore your comment is invalid.

But that still wasn't needed. He is already distraught with the current situation, and you can still bombard him with these uncalled for questions.

I hope your father makes a recovery.

That's all I want to say...and also your over usage of the "" emoticon will be missed, by some, not me - I personally can't stand it

What can I say, you came, you posted...and posted...and posted more than I could imagine, half of it was alright because you're a La Liga fanatic and that did the Real Football forum a benefit...but as of late I can't say the same. Hope you come back, but by then I might not be around, so adiós

Good luck to your father and your family.

As for the idiots in this thread, kindly go off and rot, quietly.
