I've had word that The Arch-Dude is a bit on the poorly side. He's confined to bed and only has his laptop and the forum to keep him sane. I'm sure you'll all help to cheer him up and wish him a speedy recovery; we can't afford to allow a cider-lake to build up................ ;)

Last Sunday as we took our boats for a cruise along the lake, Stavros and I were discussing the forum and the people who posted. I said that the posts I really enjoyed were from PMK . Hope you are well soon mate .

Not sure about FLJ's comment that you only have the Forum to stay sane - I'd have thought it would have the opposite effect! But all the best for a speedy recovery anyway.

HEY!! What's all this??????
I just spotted the 'PMK is unwell' thread.
Gentlemen, I am touched by all your kind comments. Thank you, thank you!
But, man, you could have knocked me down with a feather. I see that Dave Jacket had actually posted the thread yesterday A.M...... and I only just seen it about 30 mins ago (approx' 01:30).
So if you're wondering what it's all about, and if you've got a couple spare minutes to allow me some self indulgence.......
In a word, blood -- lots of it. Every hour or so I have to make a mad dash for the bathroom, puking-up great gobs of the stuff. Quack says it's a burst ulcer. The silly sod reckons I should be in hospital. But no chance of THAT happening, because once you're in them places all they want to do is shove tubes up your bum and more tubes down your throat. Yuk!
But as Tug Ken says, I have the world at me fingertips... I've got me laptop, I've got access to Mayhem, and I've got enough lucozade to last a lifetime (burp!)
And suddenly, after stumbling upon this thread, I feel a whole load better.
Dudes, in all honesty, I thought I were about as popular as a fart in a space suit. Seems I got it wrong.
For what it's worth, each and everyone who left a reply, please accept my sincerest thanks.

Thank you!
Last word to a certain leather-clad Action man....
Dude, I know what I'm about to say is gonna sound pretty damn cheesy.
Don't wish to sound poncy, but heap big thanks for taking the time, effort and decency to post this thread.
Bless you, mate.
Thanks.

PMK
I agree about the tubes down your throat and up ya bum. I have had a few of those in Hospital. The ones up ya bum are the worse, not the actual procedure as I always have been given Happy Drugs before hand. It is the night before they give you this stuff to drink and about 15 minutes later you are sitting the bog, feeling much like the space shuttle on lift off :o :o :o.
Regards David
-
David, but the engine flame of the booster will be biological.... ::)
Just had been through this procedure for the drugs.... :P
-
PMK
Totally agree with you re hospitals - BUT - the last time I was in one I had to have a catheter stuck up my P----. The day it had to come out a different doctor came to do it.
WOW - she was drop down dead gorgeous, early twenties from somewhere east of Suez, with all the beauty and eastern promise that you could imagine. An old mans dream - getting your pecker handled by the sort of young woman that you only see in your daydreams. And she even apologised in case it hurt ! As if I would have noticed ;)
There are sometimes compensations you know O0
Don
p.s have to admit it was a private sector hospital - maybe that sort of thing doesn't happen in the NHS ?
-
PMK, I think a lot of us are uncomfortably aware that "there, but for the grace of God go I!" As the old saying has it "If we don't hang together we'll all hang separately. (I think you'd class that as mixed metaphors).
Don't overdose on the Lucozade!
Colin
-
Phew...... best of luck PMK. Now we can sympathise with you.
Whatever you do, don't go to Google about it. This is not to be reccommended. You tend to go off on differrent tracks and next thing you know, your having a baby. ;D
All the best
Ken
-
PMK, if you can stay at home and get well your'e probably best off doing just that. Without casting a slur on the wonderful work our overstressed and overworked medical staff perform in hospitals... you might come out with more than you went in with!
-
Hey Druid, I had a similar experience but they had run out of catheter and used a lump of garden hose instead! Despite the horrendous discomfort and total lack of dignity, I too couldn't help but admire the beautiful young nurse who tended to its removal. What is it with us blokes?.. never say die eh! I reckon that bit of our anatomy is the last bit to keel over as we draw our final breath!! O0
-
As I said before, GET WELL SOON
I read your posts and find you among the best within this hobby.
Dont fret if you need the pipes in then the medical staff of this country are THE BEST.
Take care man. mend quickly sail longer

Best Wishes for a speedy recovery amigo. O0
Lets hope you're up and about rockin' again soon.

Hi there PMK,
Now some statements we can accept, but Lucozade in Somerset? :( That's enough to see you barred from every local in about four counties.
Nobody enjoys the prospects of letting the medics run riot, but if a trip to B.R.I. , Frenchay or Southmead will sort it out, is this not a reasonable price to pay? To paraphrase the advert "You know it makes sense".
Hang on in there mate.
-
Just back from a holiday, so have only just seen your post, hope you will survive without hospital attention.
Some years ago I also had a similar experience, no choice but to go to hospital, transfused eight pints of blood, and lost half of my stomach, sure there were tubes everywhere, but I survived. I really don't think its the sort of thing that cures itself.
Best of luck PMK anyway.
Colin

PMK
I must agree with Colin about going in to hospital. I was reluctant to go to hospital 7 years ago but for the insistence of my wife. When I got to Accident and emergency they told me that my kidneys had shut down and that if I had left it any longer I would have died with a heart attack as my potassium was through the roof. My advice is go in for a couple of days until everything is OK. At least while you are there you can check out the nurses, MMMMMMMMM nurses.
Regards David

Another David here
I was already in hospital and to add to my woes had a burst ulcer 27 units blood later and another opp died three times thank god I was in the Hospital.
Nurses were good

I see you are on here, hope you feeling a bit better.

Last time I had surgery I had this gorgeous nurse on my ward and then the shift change came and 2 blokes were on all night. Just my luck, still haven't been right since with stomach, more tests, Oh well.
Hope this doesn't mean you'll miss Glastonbury?
Get well soon mate, and switch to powerade, it has more electrolytes. O0

Do you know anywhere in Somerset which stocks an apple-based version of this at 8.5% ABV? ::)

Not Somerset, but I know one in Devon but it's a little rough O0

I think I've found a video of PMK...

If you look at reply 26 your video is already there Martin

Good luck PMK, get yourself sorted PDQ.
All the best,

Thank you, Rich - I appreciate it. Thanks also to all the other names here whom I'd not mentioned in my previous.
Although, I'm having a bit of a chuckle over this one because if you look at the very first post again you'll see that FLJ started this thread back in Feb 2008. I've had heap plenty of recovery time since then, so, thanks to His Martiness, I'm back in the limelight again. :-)
Mave, in case you're there, this time they tell me it's pleurisy, hence the reason why the you-know-what is later than promised.

Strewth, mate - isn't that fluid on the lungs? Told you not to inhale the apple-stuff ok2
No hurries - 't will wait until you're recovered.

It’s called a nom de plume, silly boy.
Mr K and I frequently use them to confuse the little techno-gremlins at GCHQ. These are wont to intercept our high-minded correspondence in the hope of gleaning some tasty titbit of a nefarious nature so that their associate, Comrade Plodski, can find an excuse for a “home-visit”. So far it’s Mavis+Daphne 15; Techno-Gremlins 0. Honi soit qui mal y pense, dude.
Anyroad up, Mr Uggett, I was about to remind you of the sniggersome-ness of the other shortened form of “Richard” (i.e. the one which often goes with Spotted and Custard) when Daphne rebuked me for entering into a battle of wits against an unarmed man……………. :kiss:
Colin
Not only do I know where you live, but I know which pub you use.................... :o

AND he informs me, he has a real teapot , keep it warm Pete will be down again in March unless I get the great call in the meantime

Used to use Dave.
The Robin had a refit at the start of last year, then a new manager was installed.
The result Karaoke nights, guest performers, loads of drunken yobs, and all the regulars moved to the Woodie.
That manager has now gone but the place is struggling to regain its reputation of a nice quite village pub.
Colin H.
-

Blimey, Colin! My great Aunt, Connie Holmes, and her hubbie Harry used to run The Woodlark just after the war. Rumour even has it that I "happened" as a result of my Mum and Dad doing a spot of pub-sitting for them while they were away with the skittles team.....................(Conceived in a pub, eh? That explains a lot, Mr Milbourn)
Haven't been back since...............I bet it's changed a bit.
Shame about the Robin - we used to have a smashing little folk club going there in the mid 70s, and the beer was always top notch.
FLJ
-
Dave,
The Woodie really is a pub of two halves. The separate dining room serving smashing food, one of the best Sunday lunches going but it is best to book.
The Bar good ale and country characters, well worth a visit.

Been away with a knackered PC for some time......Back now and I really am shocked. The great FLT, with doubts about his manhood........well who would have thought it????
No good saying it is a nombe de plume........however they spell it....as no real man would choose Mavis!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o

"FLT"?? Who he?

Come on Mavis, you know who he means. %)

Ah! Of course! Fred Lee Travis - former disc jockey on Radio Dung. Did you know his sister's name is Mavis Travis? Small world, isn't it?

Topic renamed. :-)

Now don't blame me....It's this new fangled PC I have!! :} :} :} :} :} :} :} :} :} :} :}
