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!

We should all get together.
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.

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?

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!

Bran, David & Kev, thanks gents. Well that was a horrible experience, because the scan was on my head they have a cage to keep the head still. It's a rather snug fit and far from comfortable, I felt like Hannible Lectuer in silence of the lambs. Still all done now and I had a great Flemish stew waiting when I got back.

It's always good to be on the other side of that sort of experience.
Flemish stew sounds grand.
Take it steady.
