Off Topic Remembering..

Anywhere nice?

 

@Spurlock any news on Joe mate. I appreciate probably difficult to find out, just wondering that was all mate.

 

Easy bro

I've texted Joe twice since his op, a few days after and about 3 weeks ago. I've had no response.

His lad posts on the Sunderland board and he hasn't mentioned owt to my knowledge

So I'm assuming Joe's just recovering...I hope. Will let you know as soon as I hear anything

 

Thanks for the update mate.

 

That version of the story is taken word for word from Alan Clarks diaries .

 

Heading around to that time of the year again when we remember the good lads that passed away, nearly joined my brother Paul on a couple of occasions during the year but still here, growling and scowling at the **** show destroying our great abode, North, South, East and West, we need the snipers back, the jackals that take these ****ers out with the blink of a eye because in the blink of a eye they have turned this Country upside down.. For me, had the triple bypass in July but my sternum hasn't naturally healed so I have a rib cage in 2 parts like a busted bird cage, very very painful and a hospital stay in the New Year to clamp it all together.. I will take this moment to wish you all a very Happy New Year, so many great lads, so many different ways of life but so many tuned together by this forum.. I will raise a glass to brb who runs a great show here and hope to be back with the best soon.. be happy lads, be safe and keep smiling.. Joe x

 

Glad to hear from you Joe, wishing you all the best as always bro

 

Good to hear from you Joe. Sorry to hear you've been going through it mate, sounds ****. But knowing your indomitable spirit, you'll battle on like a solider.

Hope 2022 brings you some better times mate

Peace

 

Great to hear you are ok Joe been a bit worried about you being quiet. Hope you are your old self as soon as possible, give my love to your lass and the bairn.

 

Pleased to hear from you Joe, you'd been in my thoughts.

 

Chuffed that you are still in there punching buddy

 

Cheers mate, missed y'all by the way.. My sternum hasn't naturally connected, rib cage is a absolute mess but apparently this can happen with COPD patients, the sad thing is in the US and EU they automatically steel clamp the sternum in COPD patients as they know it will be a problem post surgery. I currently have a moving rib and sternum structure, great for party tricks but a ****ing nightmare to live with,, Hey, love to you and yours btw Fosse, never let the bastards grind you down, you are far to special for that crap..

 

Cheers Joe ... you've given me a few flashbacks there mate ... didn't have your complications but recall all too vividly being encouraged to cough up the **** that gathers on the chest from the op ... clutching hold of a rolled up towel to the chest to cushion the ****ing pain... just stay with it buddy ... it all gets better in time.

 

Think the world of you all, watch this space, I shall return.. A very Happy New Year to everyone and everybody not counted

 

You too, stay well

 

Stay well Joe. Brilliant to hear from you .

 

nice to hear from you Joe hope all goes well for you and the family, Always liked your imput since the old BBC days, and thank you for being Moses and leading us all here .Ive just moved back to the Uk ower xmas so will be able to get on a lot more once all the jobs and paperwork done, look forward to more chats with you mate.

 

Howdy all, just a drop in to say I’m still alive and kicking, heart is ticking but just about to go back into hospital to have my sternum plated together, it never healed so I have been living with a part 1 and part 2 rib cage, very painful. Seems to be a few missing now, Tobes, Comm, sweats, bluey, stan and Tel to name a few? Looked at the Sunderland board and it appears to be open warfare on there again, nowt changes and always the usual suspects.. Mist ya loads lads and hope to return to the fold sometime soon, brb, pisk, surly, chief, saffy, the mag lads and the rest of the Arsenal and Spurs lads, keep the banter flowing, I will enjoy the read and to sucky a special mention.. see ya soon you miserable twats, keep smiling, life will get better..

 

Good to hear from you Joe and delighted to hear you're still fighting mate.

All the best with this op and hopefully see you again soon x
