Procopius Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 And that's that. Grant has RSV, and Mrs P, who let him get in his baby sister's face all week, is having a nervous breakdown. I am no longer going to New Orleans for work. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Mike Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Sorry to hear your woes Edward. We have been in hospital with one of our '*boys' this week. (*He's 22). For the squeamish among us (including me, I can hardly type this) gloss over the next few lines. He was servicing one of his bikes, and got his index finger caught inbetween the chain and chain wheel, where in true cheap B movie gore flick fashion is acted exactly as you think it would, breaking clean through the bone and severing the end off. He was on his own, and coped really well, calling mum, who called our neighbours round while she rode home from work. He let them in before he passed out. He's just had what's left of the tip, minus the nail, stitched back on this morning. My wife says they've done a pretty neat job. It's not his first rodeo at this sort of thing, he's doing OK. And it's only Wednesday. I only recount this as maybe a slight distraction from your own woes. I wish you much Churchillian spirit to see you through these testing times.

Jesus Christ! As if I didn't have enough reasons not to ride a bike already. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Gosh, bad times! Hope everyone gets better. Hang on in there. Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD530F Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Reading through this has been terribly entertaining as all of the issues you have found with the kit have been identical to the issues I have found on my current build... even down to the gap on the port inboard flap I'm glad you were the guinea pig for the metal intake ring as I was contemplating this myself. They do look good though so I may try one on the next Airfix one I build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Sorry to see this crap is still ongoing at Hedgehog House/Manor PC, surely has to be getting to the end of it all now so the wide open uplands get a sporting chance. Looking forward to getting together in a bar somewhere so we can blow off angst and steam. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds lovely. Mrs P and baby now both have RSV. Mrs P was coming off a cold and is very groggy, baby is in good spirits so far and we are keeping a close eye on her. Grant seems to have turned the corner. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Keep the faith Edward, sh- happens. You just got several years worth all at once. I'm glad Grant has turned the corner, you can keep your eye on him. Is Winnie ok at the mo'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Bill suggests Edward, hang on in there. Many of us have been through similar angst stuff with families. Wishing you all a speedy route out through these challenges. By the way. We have an informal weekly coffee morning (in Wimbourne) where a few members of our local model club get together and generally solve the world's problems. This morning, quite by chance, an elderly couple overheard our banter and we got chatting, only to find out as we chatted that the older man (who was pretty deaf and I would say in his early 80's) was an ex-RAF Lightning pilot! I asked if his deafness had been caused by Avon's and he found that very funny, but nodded in agreement! He regaled us with some tales for a while before leaving us to our coffee. A fantastic morning was had by all. T. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
