Quote from: Platy767 on March 06, 2026, 09:06:14 PMSorry 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've spent a month in there and am in no hurry to go back, even though it's only 50m down the street from Chez Bealman!

As for Mrs B coping, I think she'll be glad of the rest!

Quote from: Bealman on March 06, 2026, 10:50:37 AMAnyway I'm sharing a room with 3 gorgeous women in their nineties. What's not to like?

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    ever again 

Sorry to hear about your woes. I much prefer the funny stories.

Get well soon and get back to the Bowling Club!

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

That's why you should always go private, George 

Yes, do get better soon George! Good to see that you are able to partake/post on the Forum.

All the very best,

Tim

Get well George sorry to hear of your health problem. Some good news from me I am running one of your favourite locos again, my Midland Pullman. Making a video soon with it.
