I was born between 22nd June and 22nd July and I think it extremely prejudice of you to think that I am a victim just because of my star sign. No one can choose the day they are born but you can choose to have fun.

I'm a Taurus, are you going to prejudice against me for talking Bull as well??
(Incidentally Brompton, I have Leukaemia, so there!).

Dementia is horrible. When relatives speak of what it's like, they say it's like mourning the loss of your mum, father, grandfather etc, then going back home and having a cup of tea with someone looking like then and putting them to bed. Repeated on a daily basis.
I removed it.

Yet the OP stays. Sweet. I'll have a good old laugh about the gag when I next meet my father, except that I won't since he doesn't have the foggiest who I am.

Looks as if my Mum is starting to suffer with it, it's a horrible thing.

Are people intentionally pushing boundaries lately? First Blazed's charming post on asbestos, and now this.
I've been lucky enough so far to have avoided any major family connection to either affliction, but my Gran certainly lost the ability to recognise people in her later days. I remember a woman I used to work with whose Nan suffered Alzheimer's. She kept looking at her hands. 'These aren't a young person's hands!' she used to cry, as if she just couldn't understand what had happened to her and why she was so old suddenly. It's a terrible thing to happen.
Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?

It was a joke I heard on Mock the Week.
I have lost a close reletaive to the illness so know all to well the affect it has.
After all is said and done, it's a joke.
