[BrendanS]

oh bugger, what's he done this time.
Get well soon David.

 

[DAKA]

Get well soon

I recommend a 'black box camera recorder' for all water users.
Now available in HD, record speed with integral GPS location with a google earth plot.

I've just got one to leave running in my lower helm window.

24 hour HD recording with GPS position/plot , re writes every 15 hours or so.


I've got it because I am fed up with raggies getting hooked on my anchor after tacking into me and @@@@@@ HM/pilot launches acting like idiots.

You effectively have a 24 hour watch , catch all the clots who hit you while berthed and on the move and never miss that dolphin/whale/seabird/pirate attack again

Unfortunately another land based accident and not water related, other than he was on his way home from SIBS last week.

Get better soon mate, Your latest 'official photo' is a beauty, can I post it here?

Cheers
Al.

 

[SpottyDog5]

I've got a "nice" photo of him wearing the new life jacket headphones, is that the one you have got ?

 

[SpottyDog5]

BTW, I believe he was knocked off his bike....

 

[Alistairr]

Ok, Here is Solitaires latest 'Official Photo'(as he puts it) released on the same day as the queens latest official photo.

Take care mate.

Cheers
Al.

Cheers for that! All a bit difficult just now. New business has been going very well and I have had to cancel stuff this week. Hoping that I will be up and running soon. My collar bone appears to be mending OK but will know more after further x-rays on Thursday. I am a very different shade of yellow, black and blue at the moment due to the bruising coming out.

Collar bone was broken in 3 places and very deep bruising in right thigh which is actually more painful than the busted bone. Bike is rather mangled, but that is insured.

Still, got to keep a SOH otherwise can descend into depths. Thanks for all the wishes and calls.

Yes - best wishes from me too. Nice to catch up twice (before and after the latest 'hit')

David - you single handedly are pushing up insurance premiums across the country

 

[benjenbav]

Blimey, David you look awful in that photo.

No wait, that's what you usually look like.

Seriously. I hope there are no complications and do get better soon.

 

[Renegade_Master]

get well soon David, been there myself but not quite like that

 

[SpottyDog5]

Come on Guys , let's not lose perspective here, he is just a drama queen - anything for a bit of attention to promote his new Business..... he was in marketing you know !

Cheers - not my bloody fault! I can assure you that the payouts do not compensate for a lot of things. I found it rather frustrating that within 2 days of the accident I had a phone call (on my mobile) from a legal firm asking if I needed representation. Strange thing is they could only have got the info from 2 places - the police or the ambulance/hospital. I had not even had time to contact anybody.
How did they get that information so quick?

Perhaps, they were following you as a good risk ?

Deep joy! I can think of less painful ways!

The Police are known to sell details on to ambulance chasers, I understand that there is a bill under preparation to ban the practice.

Tim Bartlett & Lakey will be on in a minute to point out you should look where you are going & ask if the car that hit you is all right . . .
