There was a lot of understanding shown on the board a few weeks ago when the subject of depression and mental illness arose. I have no doubt the same sentiments will continue for Iris.

Is surprising all the same as she seemed to think her psychiatrist could cure every 'ailment'

No doubt will be parting on a decent suck and pension package. Didn't realise she was 60. Older woman in that relationship?

That understanding should continue. It doesn't mean though that you have to like someone.

nope- Big Peter will be 61 tomorrow!

I for one am sceptical about this and the timing of same. With a general election looming could it be a ploy to take the pressure of the Swish Family Robinson and their vast wealth. I bet she'll be back.

Looking well on it Peter, and I don't think I'm being presumptuous in wishing him many happy returns from everyone at the gaaboard

I am sure he will have a big glass of punch for Iris when they are celebrating his birthday tomorrow.
