A bit of welding on the NHS...

Post by docchevron132 » 05 Sep 2007

Couple of years ago I had a bit of surgery which wasn't actually required. Not cosmetic, but a mis-diagnosis from a 12 year old spotty twat doctor.
Anyway the upshot was the operating theatres seamstress wasn't much good and I've got a hernia. Aint been a problem up till now, but it's becoming a bit of a pain in the, er, stomach.
So, there's some talk of going back in to have it welded up before I become an MoT failure. That being the case I wont be allowed to drive for a couple of months so I might finally find the time to wroite up some techy guides!

Silver linings! :wink:

fuck off you won't be able to drive, assuming you'll get inside out stitches then give it two weeks and while you might be sore, you certainly won't struggle driving. Sure your not getting another kiddie diagnosis? I was playing footy again two weeks after my hernia op (right inguinal).

Guess that means i have to come to you to get things fixed :D

Oh, it's not that I CANT drive, but I wont be allowed to drive at work. Until the quack says it's all good the company wont let me near a bus see.

Last time they hacked me about I was back in the car two weeks later. It would have been quicker, but the having died twice thing made me unable to walk and shit...

Hence I'll be off on teh club for a bit so will have more time to type see!

Cheers fella's. It's no big deal, and I have no idea when it's happening yet.

I will have it placed on my epitaph though that I cost the NHS just a touch shy of £1,000,000 in two weeks back in 2005. Hardcore!
Even had drugs delivered by helicopter! How cool is that!

I've litle doubt Laura could have made a quicker and more accurate diagnosis Vanny, god knows the wankers at the BRI did their damndest to kill me. Bastards!

Yeah, I fuckin' drive myself to the hospital!

Maybe I might actually get round to putting the old girl back on teh road next year and I'll bring her to a few events, it's a fuckin' beast!

4 litres of noisy oily fun!
and it goes like shit off a shovel, as long as you dont want to go round a corner, cos it dont handle, at all!
and you need mahoooosive hairy bollocks to actually drive it.
But it's the best thing I've ever owned. It really really is. I fucking love that thing.

It was before I owned it then. I've only taken it to the harbourside twice, and neither time was 1071 there..
