All the best and hope recovery will be quick xx

I hope you soon settle into your new home.

The new gaffe is very run down .. not sure if the heating works ... and down an old track so fingers crossed the weather holds out as trying to bring a horse trailer full of pigs across our field in snow will not be ideal ...but thank you.. hopefully back on the net next Thursday .

Sadly under BT again as here we have satellite broadband with vonage phone so will have all the hassle of being a BT customer again

Good luck.
It's been a pleasure.../


I dunno 'bout the rest of you....it seems morphine works for you all. I could barely tell the difference when I was hooked up to that stuff. It maybe took the edge off, but nothing more. Not impressed.

No I'll agree with you, I didn't think the morphine did too much when I had it, as you say took the edge off but I wouldn't say I felt as out of it as say when I take Co-codamol. Unless I was that out of it I didn't think I was.....

Co codamol doesn't work on me unfortunately.

Been on 30/500 on and off for years but rarely help these days. Best thing I have for back pain is my Tens Machine which is instant relief.

When I got flown off the platform with the whole twisted testicle issue they gave me fentanyl, I was so bloody high it wasn’t funny. I kept telling the guys lifting my stretcher into the chopper to duck because I thought they were going to get hit by the rotar blades it was hilarious by all accounts

Now there's some imagery I could have done without.

Having a fairly quiet day off, went to the gym earlier and filled the car up on the way home, picked up the wrong nozzle and ended up with a tank of V-Power diesel at £1.39.9/Litre only 12p/l more than I thought that I was going to pay On the up side the car is smoother and a little more responsive so I will see if it gets better mpg.

Now looking on youtube.

Painting the hall to look like its not painted

Nerves have kicked in and I’m still wide awake at 2am. I’m getting woken up at 6am for prep. Luckily a nice man is going to drug me to sleep for 5-6 hours later today.

Good luck Kiwi!!! Let us know how you get on

Good luck hope the operation goes well and it's all over quickly

Imagine if they get your notes mixed up and remove what they think is a twisted testicle

Let's not forget the guy who had his leg amputated.....then it turned out it was the wrong leg.

Didn't you get about 5 thousand people in to finish your house off after you move in?

Surely one of them must have got something wrong enough that you could call then back to paint for you?

Haha I wouldn't trust them tbh Jon.

The missus picked a colour called Just Walnut but to me it should be called unpainted plaster, as that's what colour it looks like to me

Looks quite decent to me. And yes, it does look like plaster, but not in a bad way at all.

Had to google it and yup I reckon your dead on in your description.

Started work at 7 this morning, supplier visit mid morning till after lunch, get home at 4:30 then straight onto finishing and rehearsing my Uni presentation for tomorrow.

It's now 10:15 and I've finally finished it to a point I'm happy. Also, timed myself at 10m30s which I'm pleased with as I didn't need to cut too much out!

I just hope the presentation actually goes ahead tomorrow as all the staff are off ill it seems!

Good luck with it mate, sounds like you’ve put a lot of hard work into it, so I’m sure you’ll nail it.
