Off Topic The Burly Arms

Nephew born this morning
4 ****ing months early!
1 pound 6 ounces.
****ing **** this. Don’t know what to do with myself.

 

If hes not yours mate I don't think you have to do anything tbh, bring a cigar and champers down the hozzy.

Edit: thats tiny, hope its all good bru

 

Good luck mate. That really is early. Is he doing ok?

 

4 months? Yikes. Is he okay mate?

 

Jeez you ain't going to see him for some time as surely he'll be in hosp for quite a while .

 

Doing well so far but every hour is vital now. Amazing what they can do these days. I’ll be honest when I got the phone call I assumed the worst. Been reading about it this afternoon and the rate of survival is a lot higher than I expected. Roughly around 40% at the minute but gets higher every day. Luckily they’ve let my brother be there (special circumstances I suppose) but not a chance that any of us can go and see him.
Thanks guys. I’ll keep you updated

 

Best wishes Q, hope the littlun's doing ok mate.

 

Take it easy Quesa. Channel the strength shown in your avatar. Let us know the good news in 4 months time and i'll serenade you with some wid yes

 

Good luck, mate. I sincerely hope all is continuing to go well for the little guy

 

Wow, thunder and lightning here atm...some real window rattling ****.
Also bucketing down like the end of the world.

 

Should have taken some pics mate.

Back to work in a moment.

 

Sounds like Willie Thorne is in a bad way.

Always came across as the kind of bloke you’d enjoy having a pint with, hope he pulls through.

 

One of our expats had a similar experience here. Wife developed an infection and they had to deliver the baby at 21 weeks. At the time was the most premature birth to survive in Indonesia. We ran up some serious hospital bills (nearly US$50K) and there were a few later issues associated with early birth but she is now a strapping teenager.
Hope it works out well for your nephew too.

 

Sad to say he's passed away.

Agree, he seemed like a genuinely nice bloke.

R.I.P.

 

He was a sound fella ... we used to bunk off school some afternoons and go down to Osborne's snooker hall in the city centre - he was often there before he had his own hall - always smiled and said hello

 

Sky have predictably chased me today to see if they could get me to change my decision to cancel. I’ve ended up negotiating a deal to stay with them for £28 a month for 18 months, that’s for the full package inc Sports but minus movies, which are largely **** anyway and I’ve now got Netflix. So if anyone is seeking to reduce their Sky bill there’s the level they’ll drop to.

 

Who’s watching the first game back then?

I’ve just stuck it on, and had a bet to try and keep my interest.

 

Had a bet. Will probably fall asleep in half an hour.

Nice touch to kneel at the start.

 

As much as I’ve not missed it...now that it’s here...I’m gonna give it a go
