Merv is back ... alive and well

[towny44]

Did the rest of you not miss me?

No - who are you??????

Do you still vet new members David

Would that be given a worming tablet, and dusted with flea powder?

[Mervyn and Trish]

When I'm ready for a good laugh I'll ring my travel insurer. They'll be fallling about.

That's always an interesting thought Merv, why are you now a higher risk after having a possible life threatening problem averted, than you were before? Strange people these risk assessors.

Whenever l go to the nurse for a check up l insist that she starts off down below first......always start the day off with a laugh is my motto.

[screwy]

Like having your feet tickled eh.?

I can't fathom that one either. After a full service and refurb on my ticker it cost me another £150 a year on my travel insurance. I'd walked around all my life with a ticker which was working at half capacity but they wanted more for a fully functioning one.

Not forgetting the old favourite ......the temperature check

Probably because it might have been a bodge job. Did you take out the extra warranty

That is the bizarre thing isn't it? I now know there is a major problem i don't have any longer. Someone else might have it so they should be higher risk. It's like charginig lower car insurance premiums for cars that have never had a service or MoT.

Better wait unlit you have had your stitches out - after all you will not be going anywhere anytime soon.

There are times when it is possibly better not going to the doctor - as they say ignorance is bliss!

.... When the anaesthetist woke me up in the Intensive Care Unit afterwards she asked if I remembered her. I said I did and that I was very pleased to see her again ! ...

Why do we say these things ?

In similar surroundings my male, bent as a nine bob note, nurse gently asked me why I kept waking up ... " Just making sure I haven't died " was my own response

Like you my attitudes and life priorities changed after my own life saving operation, including reviewing one’s inclination to be a tad homophobic prior to that moment in time.

Take it easy and let Trish do all the shopping

[jacksparrow]

Get well soon Sir Merv and make sure that Trish looks after herself too... it can be stressful looking after someone poorly. Take care I don’t do choccies

He was probably interfering with you and you kept spoiling all his fun.......at least that's what it looked like on Facebook

Just goes to prove that if you follow Facebook it warps your mind

No Sir, he was concerned only that I was comfortable and not in any pain, a true professional in every regard

[Ray Scully]

Hi Merv, so pleased for you that all has been fixed. Like you I have 'enjoyed' the wonderful facilities of our NHS 3 times in the last 2 years' going under for two procedures, and yes it definitely makes one reevaluate your priorities.

[cruisin_duo]

Pleased to hear you are on the mend. Take care.

[Ray B]

Okay, update from the sickbed!

One or two have noted my absence from the forum for chunks of the past couple of weeks. Did the rest of you not miss me?

Sorry merv but I didn't, but then I don't have easy internet here at the coast.
You certainly don't do things by halves, so glad you are on the mend, you take it easy chap and don't let politics get you going.
Leave that to the rest of the forum but time will tell if you can resist the urge

Point of order. How did 'Last One To Post Wins' get on this part of the forum. I thought it was hard coded in the 'Fun And Game' section

It all started on a sunny Wednesday afternoon when two posts were moved from LOTP into Merv's Topic. The Topic name comes with the move and because someone, no names no pack drill, keeps quoting the moved posts the LOTP Topic title remains.

Seemples ..... but I will ' edit ' them to avoid any confusion for our Member from Essex

Obviously he now has too much time on his hands having been told to stay home in his tier 3 area.

I was wondering why the heading kept changing back and forth!

Poor management Meg

I know l'm treading where l shouldn't here but to my mind if David were to make the recent topics box bigger to include WA, LOTP and TWA you would find they would get far more hits than they presently do now. I also think it would make it easier for new members to get involved.

Squeak! Squeak!
