Best of luck with everything Simon, fingers crossed you will be back to the bench in tip-top shape soon....

 

[Briggsy]

David, Malkie and Kev, thank you gents I appreciate the concern. The only thing that's worrying me is the eye, I can live without the hip etc but sight loss would be rather irritating.

I've been tinkering at the bench and it's not easy but I can push putty better than paint so that's what I'm doing. Going to have a lot to paint when things get back to right as I've started another figure, Napoleonic British Infantry, but I have a plan for this one that I find rather amusing!

Hi Simon,
The best of look with all your hospital situations, I look forward to seeing you back at the bench. As of my own situation I have had a chest xray I am now awaiting an appointment for a heart scan.

Malkie

Take care. We're all falling apart.....!!

We should all get together.
And get drunk.

And get drunk.

Sounds like a grand idea, though I've been told to cut down my alcoholic intake given I was doing about three times the government recommendation a week. As for falling apart, it's time to get the gaffer tape out to hold it all together.

Yeah well I'll keep it under my hat just in case it doesn't work.

[Merryweather]

Yeah don't rise Simon!

 

[Briggsy]

Yeah don't rise Simon!

Oh don't worry I won't rise to the bait, as a pair of veterans from the same cap badge it's just normal banter between Kev and I. Anyway no one will see this one coming.

Two Paras?

 

[Briggsy]

Two Paras?

No we were both RAOC only I was daft enough to jump out of aircraft, but then in 1983 Para pay was £5.32 (ish) a day extra so I went for it. Made me the cripple I am today, and yes I'd do it all again.

On a different tack, I cheered for Scotland this evening to no avail, France deserved the win!

Ah, I see. Veterans nonetheless.
Parachuting is great (I did 6 jumps for fun aged 19).
As for the Six Nations, yes it was France's trophy for sure.

Agreed France deserved the win and they are looking dangerous going ahead, especially once Dupont is fit again. England are also on the up with plenty of talented new blood, the next world cup will be will be interesting.

As for the parachuting, it terrified me every time and is something I would only do if I was being paid. I'm actually scared of heights, BT hey I was young and stupid!

I hope to resume the painting properly once my eye gets injected next week. Apparently there is quite a lot of swelling in there as I have been having other investigations in there. Not sure if I should be worried but on Wednesday the doc suggested I need an MRI scan of my head. Today I got an appointment for it at 1900hrs this coming Sunday, appointments are never that quick!! On the plus side I asked if concussions could have caused any of this I was told no. So all that clashing of heads in the front row was still a good idea.

Simon

It's Sunday.... I really hope everything goes well Simon, I send you my best thoughts....
