Aw thanks PhilipG, he's much the same really. Has good days, but then goes on a real downer. Had a bit of a panic today when he went missing in his car, but he turned up again. Goes off to some army mental institution next week, which will be a blessed relief for my sis as she's had to put her life on hold to be there for him. Not far from us this place either so we can keep an eye on him.
Think he's out of immediate danger, but still walking on eggshells hoping that nothing happens to change his mood.
Anyway, back to the thread - I really don't see anything much to get het up about. The thread titles in capitals and textspeak are very annoying, but then so are many other thread titles. And yeah, they don't tend to come into other areas of Mumsnet, but since they don't seem to be very popular, maybe that's a good thing? I just can't seem to care either way!
