Testify!

You don't know me. But if you or anyone else wants to meet me, get down to the Hawkinge Battle of Britain Museum in Kent on either Saturday 10th or Sunday 11th August, where I'm giving short talks all day, each day. First one to make themselves known, I'll stand them a meal and a drink at the Battle of Britain pub, The Jackdaw, in Denton. Can't say fairer than that...

 

[Rita_Poon]

Also, as you've shared it, good for you coming through significant heart trauma and surgery.

Another great artist. Good taste!

You have made that most gracious offer previous and I do recall. So fine, props to you.

Thanks.

Where are those Spitfires buried in crates from long long ago?

If I could make Kent for a hand guided (Easy!) tour of the old planes and their stories, I'd buy you dinner. But my dancing days are long gone.

Absolute bollix this. @JimmyJeffers my girls getting into her teenage years and am close to boxing her head in with a spade.

Aye. I think he’s high tbh. Best to agree with him.

The scary thing was, it wasn't pains or the like. Just a numbness down my left arm. I phoned the local surgery and they gave me a same-day appointment. I actually drove down to the surgery! When I explained ot the receptionist, she immediately headed behind the scenes and about 30 seconds later I was led intoa room and had an ECG. The nurse took one look at the print-out, and told me to take a seat in the waiting room again. About 30 seconds later a doctor called me into his room and said 'You've had a heart attack, we've called an ambulance, who do you want us to call?

So, on a completely serious note, to anyone reading this, DO NOT dismiss ANY kind of symptoms I have described. Get yourself seen to immediately.

Can’t wait to revisit this in 12 years time(if your still alive)

That was an incredible story some years ago, but proved to be totally false.

Well, I went the doc's and had a try on that automated height weight and BP monitor bandit machine, give your ticket into the desk. Pished off home after the mither of the doc and the phone was ringing red hot, "You've got to get back here right now!" It was a few years ago iirc was about 170/90 so just a touch high, and they wanted to know if I was on the cusp of a heart attack or their machine was on the blink. The machine was fine. I was eventually told I had BP so high it could be used to put satellites into low earth orbit. Straight onto top whack medication and threatened to lose some weight. It's been a long flavourless journey, and mostly cheese free. BP under control now. and about 10 kgs lighter than I was. Still another 10 to go, (sigh!) plus undoing the debauchery of this Christmas.

Happy holidays everyone!

We take our health for granted.
