THEBRITFARMER Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'm sorry to hear that, Scott. How did she manage that? Oh and how is your father nowadays? Trying to do too many things at once and wasn't watching where she was going. Although granted she isn't as spry as she once was either. Dad is still not the same as he was before the accident, his humour is there etc.... but physically he gets tired easy, and is very lethargic whcih wasn't him, he was always on the go. Thanks for asking Tris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Mike Edwards former ELO founder and cellist who played at my Grandad's funeral was killed in a freak accident when a round bale hit his van after rolling down a hill and through a hedge. He was a really nice bloke and we're all shocked and upset :'( :'( http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/showbiz/music-news/2010/09/06/elo-founder-mike-edwards-killed-after-94st-hay-bale-crashes-into-his-van-86908-22541644/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-11195393 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 OOOOHH that has really made me cringe, I trapped my finger in a door last Christmas and that was nothing compared to what you have done Paul. On the plus side, you will definitely have to come to Penrith now for a bit of R & R : ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianih634 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Reading about your injury made me cringe Paul If you can adapt at using your hands like you adapt at getting things to fit on your low loader, I'm sure you'll be fine .

BC Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I have been to Ayr in my time Paul but a fair bit away from me....closest FTF member I know of to there would be "jakescot" in Dumfrieshire...but he's a Massey Man ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I know that will hurt Paul, had my thumb crushed between an L200 leafspring and a ramp (with virtually the full tension of the spring) it actually sprang down whilst still attached to the hangers, caried on working for the rest of the day and went hospital after work as my thumb had turned a funny colour, nothing broken but my thumb is almost twice as thick as the other one and has limited movement, this happened over 6 months ago so thats how it will stay, on a lighter note if they put your middle finger in a cast people may thing your are making a rather choice gesture at them. ;D Hope it gets better soon.

BC Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Ouch no wonder they broke Paul. Glad to here you are on the mend. Do you only use the ratchet type "dwangs" these days...those ones with the lever and closed with a pipe could be dangerous things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Yes they were dangerous pieces of kit Paul....heard of folk that have broken jaws and teeth and the likes if the pipe slipped :of ...at least a JCB windscreen is easier to fix than a face ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Very ..very sad Paul... in my opinion there needs to be a new reform on guns and keepers of ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 New reform wouldn't protect many people though, Bill. Gun crime associated with licence holders is on a small scale fortunately. The trouble is it is often personal matters and therefore a more shocking headline which is forever going to be media fodder. Gang land shootings, though far more common are rarely printed unless the wrong person was shot such as a child, again because it causes a frenzy of public opinion. The case of the father and daughter is a sad one but I should think it was a state of mind at the time which caused it, regardless of the choice of weapon. No, reforming gun laws would not have helped. We'll have to have laws surrounding kitchen cutlery if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
