Howdoo all.
Been away for a few weeks due to enforced circumstances - anyone else fancy a heart attack at 48 :'( - and by jove, been a fair bit of change hereabouts!!
Took me ages to log in though..... Had to reformat my PC from scratch and reinstall everything. (Nothing to do with the site, the PC went t*ts up whilst in hospital) and then I tried to log on to OOF. Apart from forgetting my password, it appears that TB and others have been playing silly buggers and had to set up the place again after a hosting issue. Got there eventually (July was a good month then, but please TB, delete the user 'Guffer' that I had to create to log in with....
when I eventually get here, I find......
MickDundee giving lessons to the heathen on how to speak the Chosen Language of The Few....
Mark turning in his explod estate to a car ramp (glad your OK Mark, sheet steel is easier to replace than flesh and blood)
TB deciding to replace the Commodore 64 with a 386 at long last ( Joking - must have been a fair bit of grief, glad you managed on our collective behalf)
Gods, knights, intermediates, experts - I've lost the plot! Whats next?
Tunnie - had his keyboard fingers cut and shut, now back to a newbie! Thats what happens when you dis the mods and admins, matey!
Ah well. Back tae auld claes and parrich whilst wading through the glaur left ahint o' a wheen o' posts clappit oan here since 14th November...

I cant understand a f*ckin word of it ;D

Thanks for the comments, peeps. Most welcome.
For future info, if anyone intends to drop like a bag of spanners onto the hard shoulder of the motorway in best Holby City/Casualty style, make sure theres a pair of paramedics and an ambulance already in attendance at the RTC so they can get the leads out and get you jump started.... And remember to tuck your feet in - saves the lorries and cars having to swerve to avoid the legs of the donut processing machine! ;)

Scarier than that...
Drove the company car at standard warp speed with lights and sirens to get to the crash just 5 mins before. Nothing spectacular en route, no harsh braking, no eejits pulling out in front of me, absolutely nowt, just another day at the office, so to speak.
Put out cones and signs as per usual to protect offside lane with offending car part on verge, part on lane, then speaking with my partner. No chest pains, no stiff arms or other classic symptoms, just dizzy.
Next aware of was wrestling with crew to sit up in the back of the ambulance on the way to resus at A and E.
Now THAT is scarier.....
But still here to tell the tale.
Now every day is a nice day, even the liquid sunshine up here!
-
Please take it easy mate.

Hi Bruce , hope your alright and glad your here to tell the tale....its a stressful business your in mate. Still of i take it? :y

Liquid sunshine is what we sometimes call 'a wee dampness in the air'.
...... and how those who managed to slip northwards over the wall we built to keep them out call 'p*ss*ng down'
;D

Scary stuff, that.... :( no laughing matter….
You’re one lucky guy! I guess the ambulance crew were on their way to the crash site when you collapsed… that was a real near miss.
Donnow… I’m 47… a couple of years ago a guy whom I used to share a desk week every two weeks for the past 5 years (I work on customers' sites) wasn’t there, his side of the desk seemed suspiciously clear, I innocently asked a mate about him – he was 46, and one morning just didn’t wake up. Went in his sleep... Really scary stuff.
Very very glad you made it. An yes I suppose life does look a little different now…
On the more reassuring side, my father had a heart attack when he was 65, he is now 76 and going strong! After his ordeal he started keeping a healthy diet and took up long-distance walking and generally keeps fit, and oddly he is in much better shape now than he was before.. he got slimmer, fitter, and generally feels much better - and no longer goes out of breath when climbing stairs! Touch wood. So I guess sometime we all need a wake-up call…
Anyway take care mate! :y
-
Glad to hear you are up and getting better. Hope you have a full recovery.
-
......

... and you are lucky again that it didn't happen while you were at the helm! I guess it just wasn't your time to go yet :y
-
Good to here you're ok and on the road to recovery Broocie. :y Thought I hadn't seen you posting recently, but sound like you're gonna have a bit of time to catch up on your posts - you could make Baron in no time ::) :)
Like STMO, I'm 52, smoke about 20 a day and drink too much beer so I guess I should take care of myself a bit more :-[

I'm not saying that drinking & smoking (ex 20/30 a day man) does you any good but life isn't quite as cut and dried as that. My Dad's 70 next, has smoked like a chimney and has supped enough to floor many a man half his age but he's as fit as a flea! On the other hand 2 years ago my sister-in-law cooked Christmas dinner for 12 and was dead on 27 Dec aged 36! Post mortem proved 'inconclusive'!

Yes, its the biggest lottery game you'll ever play........
