Hi All

It had been noticed by Druid that Globus hadn't been on either forum for a while, so he asked me to follow up.

Unfortunately, Globus has been in hospital for some time - his wife reported as follows:

"Neville has been quite poorly,(not with COVID) and is in Peterborough hospital. He is getting better but basically went in by ambulance as he was spitting out blood and they thought he might have an internal bleed. They did an endoscopy and found nothing wrong but he had a seizure !, bit his tongue and ended up in critical care with a tracheotomy and on a ventilator 3 weeks ago. He’s now on a ward and recovering slowly with efforts to improve his speech and mobility now the trache has been removed.

What a nightmare its been during covid and with no visiting allowed."

Post your best wishes here and his wife will read them to him. Obviously some decorum for this lovely lady would be nice.
I drink and I forget things.

The poor bugger's been in the wars recently.

Best wishes to him, and the Management.

Get well soon, Globus.

Globus

A bit of a severe reaction to England's performances in the 6N, isn't it?

Get well soon, me old mucker.

Sorry news Globby, but glad to hear you're recovering under the Management's safe, erm, management.

You'll be right as falling HIJKLMNO in no time, with some extra anecdotes to regale us with!

Best,

Woddy

Spitting blood for all the wrong reasons then?

Had wondered why Dan Dare's face had not been evident recently.

Get well soon.

Get well soon Globus.

I have it on good authority from a local councillor that you will chip over ol' G. Reaper and regather with consumate ease, scoring with a touch of panache.

All the best from downunder.

That sounds a bit shite. Best wishes to the auld bugger.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
