It's not been good news for six months!

[Mr Tank]

Hi

Well it's not been good for some "wedgers" this last Six months!

Starting with my accident, then the sad loss of "wee man" and now the news about Neil (Pistolar) what else can happen to our community.

At least the fest is fast approaching at which I think we need to remmeber the "wee man" and Neil's and for his fast recovery.

Yes we are doing the trophy for the "wee man" but a few words about him and Neil on the day I think would be approate.

O! don't worry about me, I am going to be there to annoy you and hopefully have some fun!

Jeez

I met Pistolar at the Essex TVRCC meets years ago when I had an S. Saved me with some parts once, and I have amusing memories of him hooning a wedge to Ride of the Valkyries.

Read about your accident in Sprint. Hope you're on the mend, and that things pick up for everyone mentioned on this thread.

Well i hope you all get better soon and we'll see you at the Wedge Fest.

Heck - that really is bad news. Sorry to hear the news.

Hope the recovery goes well.

[carob]

In true wedge spirit, lets stick togther and get through the bad times and look forward to some good times.

I know, easier said than done at times.

See you soon.

Thanks for all the good wishes and concern.
Ive lost my left leg but st happens and a new chapter begins. I will be going home next week after 8 weeks in hospital. Nurses have been brilliant but the so called Rehab team arent worth a wk.
Cheers Neil

Chin up fella, and all the best.

Can't imagine you not driving a wedge - so got any plans? Auto? Hand controls?

Neil,
Sorry to hear this, but keep your chin up.

A colleague of mine lost his leg through diabetes a few years ago.
He's now back at work, and it's difficult to know that he has a prosthetic limb.

He's even back coaching junior football.

Sorry,
Just posted on the other thread but wish you a speedy recovery Neil.

[mrzigazaga]

Hi Neil...I thought you were messing about as regards to the leg...Dont tell me it really was a mutant cod!..If it was then i hope they catch the bd and turn him into cod fillets and fish fingers!!..Sorry to hear this and wish you well..I wish one of us could win the lottery..At least there would be some good news for a change..Take care mate..Best wishes..Ziga

[jmorgan]

Well. Cannot add anything but best wishes to all.
