For those that are interested:

Ian (traniht) was admitted to hospital on the 16th for his heart repair operation (fitting of a “stent”). Feed back is that all went well and he is recovering without any complications. Phew!

Charlie: I reckon Ive still got that illuminating bow tie somewhere!

Thanks to Les Slater, an update on Ian:

He is suffering a bit of a setback at the moment and what I would perceive as being in the Intensive Care Unit. Not good news but its just so that you are informed.

Thanks for the info Gary.I’m sure its only a minor hiccup.He has spotted a very fit intensive care nurse and is trying to get to know her.Get well soon Ian. :laughing:

Thanks for keeping us updated about Ian Gazza, perhaps we should
have a whip round. That should bring him round.
Seriously though, here,s hoping that he pulls through ok.

Seasons greetings to all.

Great news Gazzer.I’m sure he will continue to get better and betterer.One sad note however.I have got my dark suit out of the pawnbrokers just in case.Now what am I going to do with it? Anyone out there feeling ill? Let me know.I dont want to waste it. :laughing: While I’m here I would like to wish all my old friends and workmates a Happy and Prosperous New Year.Stay Lucky.Best Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Hi not sure if this is the right place to post it but here goes anyway as some of you may have known him…

I had some sad news yesterday that Alan Baulch of Lindford near Bordon who ran AJB Services which was mainly lowloaders had died at 1.00am, he had just one Scania and trailer and that was driven by Alan Tumbler who for many years worked for Ron Blackman, one of his sons Neville has his own mobile tyre service.

RIP Alan.

Regards Pat

I dont think i ever knew Alan Pat, but always tragic news when
another lorry driver leaves us.Condolensces to his family.

I,m not going to make the obvious link from Charlies above post.

Good news about Ian. fingers crossed.

Hi Pat, sorry to hear Alan Baulch passed away remember him from my day’s in Petersfield area, also remember Alan Tumbler on Blackman’s when I was moving round timber,by the way never met anyone who could handle a Cat D8 like Ron Blackman.
Regards Richard

Hi Charlie, please let me have the suit details and I will put it on Ebay for you, as hopefully you won’t need it for some time to come. Also that whip round you organised for Ian, as it also is not needed could I have my 10p back please ?
Regards Richard

Hi Tony, hope you have recovered from you man flu, take it easy.
Regards Richard

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.

658

Very sorry to hear of Alan’s demise.Another Old Timer gone but not forgotten. MaggieD. Re your contribution.Unfortunally it has been swallowed up in expensies.On a sadder note,your cheque has been returned marked “refer to drawer” I didn’t know that you were an artist.You learn something new every day Are you doing the pavements or have you been hung in the Tate.Gaz IOW said to me in a fit of pique that you should be hung.I now know what he meant. Happy New Year to you Richard.Best regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

659

Well I am out of hospital and on the road to recovery.All those roll ups I used to beg borrow and steal made me lung collapse and then I got an infection and that was no extra charge!!!
Still all behind me now and looking forward to visiting me piece of hillside in Andalucia as soon as I can persuade her indoors that I am fit enough.
I thank you all for your messages and wish you all a very happy 2009…
If the whip round is causing any embarrasment I will be only too willling to take it of your hands :unamused:

Welcome back Ian. I hope the diatribe on here doesn’t make your rib cage hurt too much.

Were they giving MRSA away in there too?

Dont rush here too soon…dismal. Your bar account still has funds, Shirley and I havent emptied it all yet! We’ll make it last until Easter. Bring the whipround with you to top it up.

Come on you lot, Nat. West. has an account you can pay into for Ian. You wouldn’t deny a recuperating “Old Boy” a few days in the warmth of the spring Andalucian sun…would you?
