I hope that not only the people there are pleasant, but also the work you are going to do...
...when you finally get some work 
Besides, to loosen the screw of a gas cylinder, you have to turn it clockwise 
(in contrast to a normal bottle, at least here in Germany)
|

|
|
And the UK, and France. Probably everywhere. Its so you cant accidentally connect a flammable gas up to any other kind of connector.
|
|

I thought so, but wasn't sure. Therefore the "at least"...
|
|
|
|
|
Fans that spin clockwise (pretty much all of them) also have reversed/anti-clock threads (so they don't fall off when fan spins) - so if the size matches you could connect a gas bottle to say, a desk fan. (Not sure why you would - but probably already on u-tube somewhere.)
Sin tack ear lol
Pressing the "Any" key may be continuate

After having read this, that manager will need a few more counterclockwise turns of that screw.

Three weeks ago we we found out that my Fil had been taken to the hospital with a bleeding in one lung.
Apparently it was pure luck that he survived after getting several blood transfusions.
Knowing that he has had a history of thrombosis and has been eating blood thinning medicine since twenty years, we took an emergency drive to Germany in case it was the last chance to see him.
After doing a lot of tests, CT-scans and MRI, they decided he's well enough to be sent home.
Yesterday he got the results of one of the tests. It's lung cancer.
Quite ironic since he never smoked and always ate well.
My wife is completely shattered, she remembers how utterly nasty the cancer was to my mom a couple of years ago.
Well, merry f***ing Christmas to us.
At least the kids are to young to really understand what's happening.

Firtly ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) , feel for you, could the cancer he has and Mil had be to do with envoirment? from what I remember East Germany was basically semi-burnt fossil fuels and smoke!...

|

Not my Mil, my mom. 
But just to add to the irony, he's actually living in a luftkurort.

Thanks, as I wrote this post I realized I haven't really processed my Moms death yet.
There was nothing I could do about it...

What a b'stard. As you say: "F*** cancer".
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

So sorry to hear, I hope there are treatments available to him. I lost my FIL 9 weeks after our child was born (his first grandchild) to F'n cancer. He was very happy to have made it long enough to see his grandson. I'm still sad that my son didn't get to know his grandfather (and vice-versa), as my FIL was an awesome guy.

He's going to get chemotherapy, that's all I know.
My daughter was born four months before my mom went away. She was also on chemotherapy and extremely sensitive to infections, so we weren't allowed to visit. Something I deeply regret now.
My mom and daughter never met.

I hope things go well. They are learning more each day so there is hope.
Lost my father to cancer several years ago. Chemo almost killed him but did give him a few more months than he might of had.

That sucks, big time. I wish strength to you all and hopefully everything turns out best!

My prayers are with you and your family. I know how rough it is watching a family member wither away from that bloody disease. My grandfather died from lung cancer. My mother told me that his last words were "Call Donathan! He knows how to fix the machine." The machine he was referring to was the morphine dispenser. I was in basic training for the Army at the time.
God bless CP brother.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Really very sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you. Hope everything will be fine.

MY aunt was taken from us by cancer just before Christmas, when I was much younger. Tough as nails, she refused to stay (and die) in hospital, and lived out her last few days with family. God knows why, but I was her favourite nephew -- I was nothing special, but she cared.
I could not empathise more with your feelings. The "happy holiday" cannot possibly be happy, when such things happen.
Just force yourself to remember the better moments.
