I am not a deterioationist, and would not like to see OUR most wonderful message board, fall into the trap of spite.
Some of us have endocardiac problems and are coping well. Don 10,000 miles away had severe problems within his body, but has come through that danger, and is coping well. Believe me, nearly ALL of us are suffering; to some extent, from ailments/illnesses and; in some cases quite problematical symtoms.
Please do not allow ourselves to be in a state of procacity or even hypocritically concerned.
Now that I have stated my piece to the 'upper echelons' I will now spell it out to Rhodes; who is beyond help in any effort to stop him walking in Camel Dung! Just for you son of Norah, if anyone has a illness/ailment or bodily problem, then keep it to your family alone. We out here in this wide wide world (including thousands of non-armed forces personnel) do NOT want to dwell, rejoice, smile, laugh, slap their thigh, cry, burp or bloody 'praise the Lord' at your statement. If you have a bodily, or, mental problem, then keep it to yourself. By ALL means send private e-mails to those that you would like to share your misfortune with. I will; as well as Dave Adams, always try and help you. BUT, let us have no more health statements made to the general public.
For Christ sake Gentlemen, you are supposed to be hard willed ex-soldiers. Apart from Rhodes of course!!
