George (Bealman) is currently in hospital with a fractured vertebra he blames on picking up a rack of VB. Said hospital wanted to send him home yesterday with some painkillers but it's obviously far worse than they think as the poor chap is almost passing out with the pain.
He's now in a 'proper' ward so, hopefully, will be having an X ray and a consultation with someone who knows what they're talking about*
I thought our NHS was bad at times but the same seems to apply down under ::)
*Just my hope, rather than me knowing what's going on
Yeah, well I'm in a public hospital so hopefully won't have to pay for it, cos it looks like I'll be here a while. :*(
Dangerous stuff that VB.
Hope you soon start to improve.
Cheers

I presume "VB" is Victoria Bitter, not Visual Basic or Victoria Beckham? :) :) (you can tell I googled it!)
In hospital your next VB will probably be virtuous broccoli. That will make you strong enough to carry a slab of VB again, George!
Get well soon.

I slipped one in before the ambulance carted me away :D
Get well soon, George!
Anyway I'm sharing a room with 3 gorgeous women in their nineties. What's not to like? ;D
Yes definately get well soon and keep up the dry wit.
Best wishes, hope you're soon on the mend.
Take it easy, I hope you get well soon and are not in hospital too long.
Sorry to hear you are in hospital, George.
I hope the clever doctors get you fixed up and you are back at the Beal & Castle Eden and Bowlo in no time at all.
With the very best of good wishes.

Get well soon George (Mackam or not ;) ) - your observations are a daily tonic!

Get well soon George.

Hospital?? :o
I thought in Oz the doctors came to you on a little aeroplane. Or don't they have the flying doctors any more? :confused1:
Anyway, get well soon. The bus stop will be missing you.
All the best,
Chris

That's why you should always go private, George :smiley-laughing:
Ouch - hope they can sort you out without any permanent consequences.
When I fell off a horse in Australia the doc (who apart from the lack of corks round the hat could have fallen out of a movie) told me that he could either give me painkillers or I could drink beer but not both and that beer was a great muscle relaxant 8)
Get well soon and get back to the Bowling Club!
Sorry to hear about your woes. I much prefer the funny stories.
Not kidding, but you will only be in a public hospital as long as absolutely necessary.
If you have (and you should at our age) private hospital cover, you may move here for your extended recovery.

I had to read that twice, possibly due to the beer I've been drinking tonight. I thought it said " 3 gorgeous women in their nighties".
Get well soon mate and hopefully you won't touch that VB :poop: ever again :beers:
