My Life Story in Short !

Hi everyone .

I am the kid on the block well I am 71 y/o etc. anyway , I have had my Tinnitus since 1966 after an operation at South-end-on-Sea General hospital at that I was operated by one of the top E N T specialists in the UK the late Mr. Steele you may have heard of him or not however , back in 1977 I was re-operated by means of TIMPANI PLASTY but, I do not wish describe my past health history if you can understand this but, all I can tell you is that since 1977 my life was going down hill and caused all sort of problems with first Wife i.e divorced my late 2nd Wife who sadly passed away last 2000 I can tell it was hell not with my late Wife but ended up with mental breakdown due to as you can guess TINNITUS the rest is history .

I am now residing in the Russian Federation and I married to my Russian Wife back 2001 however , it was tough to make adjustments here but, all I can say is the ordinary Russian people where I live in a small village 51 minutes from the main city centre and people in my village love the British people and my neighbour likes me being that I am from England , wears a tee shirt with Union Jack as God is my witness .

There you go good British diplomatic ties despite what the Brits think of Russia all BS politics in my opinion and as I have a Son and Daughter with two small children and I miss them terribly as I have lost contact with them years ago but, I do have their Mothers Tel / No. but alas I do not wish to contact her for obvious reasons and I wish to know how I can do this from Russia , any suggestion please on this forum ?

Well , that`s all folks and thank you for your precious time for reading this post as fellow Tinnitus sufferer and lastly to relax me I have a gift for music namely compose and play music since from an early age and I exercise by walking and eating sensibly

and as for a Westerner like myself , it is cheap living here as I get my State Pension and my Bank of England pension and a yearly personal pension from Phoenix Life Assurance Glasgow Scotland .

Take care now and please , as my motto is : TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME AS TOMORROW WILL ALWAYS BE A BETTER DAY .

God Bless you all ,
