othickman 6 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Tricky...in your place I would go with the old guy a couple of times, see if he's safe by his lonesome or if you ought to go along with him...or if he is really not up to it try and dissuade him from doing it (softly) or try to get him to bring someone else along with him (be it friend or family) if he needs help but can do it and you don't have the time.

Onan 6 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 mabye i will have to buy him a few pints down pub and explain my intensions Sounds like a plan.... seems a good plan,play to his vanity and tell him you'd like to learn from him,make him feel double usefull,because like us all we hate to admit were getting old,but shit happens,bet he could teach us all a thing or two....and a few tales aswell..... Good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
