Hey PoP glad to hear you're on the mend...keep accepting the drugs while it's legal

He got out hospital on Saturday a couple of days early. I got a huge surprise when my door bell rang yesterday, I opened the door and there he was. He is looking great but I think he tires easily, expect to see him hobbling back to work in a couple of weeks. He may even post here before that.

Great news!

Let's hope he sees/feels a huge improvement as a result of the op.

Good to hear that Porty. Glad he's out and about - that does seem very quick.

I'm touched. Thanks ever so much for your wishes of support.

I am now feeling great and on the road to recovery. The doctors, nurses and care teams of the NHS have delivered yet again. There were one or two aspects of my particular case which were tricky but these have been overcome due to the skill and expertise of true professionals.

Can't say I would recommend the food tho!

Cheers

Hi Pop...welcome back...you sound the same

Nice to see you back again, PoP. You'll be more than ready for a drink now, surely.

Could you not have got them to sort that problem out at the same time?

Good to see you back in circulation and enjoying a hearty lunch at Sizzlers (you need something to take away the taste of that nasty hospital fod). Remember where to dispose of your old exercise sheet!

Well, at the Sizzlers repast today I could not help but notice that there was a bottle of red wine plonked right in front of him!!!!

I'm surprised you were able to see over the mass of empties that would have been right under your nose to see what anyone else was up to!!

Well the last time I saw Poppy she was on soft drinks only, and still off the fags.
I'm worried about that woman, next thing we know she'll be swapping recipes with Bob for organic lentil and brown rice stews.

Now that would really be a cause for concern!!

P.S. Ecm, I admit my post suggests that I was actually in Sizzlers myself, but I was only walking past when I saw the wonderful sight of Porty and his Pal [and other riff raff whom I did not recognise] scoffing and slurping away.

No I don't think so, I'm sure Poppy would prefer a mince round from Findlay's, rumour has it its one of her favourite meals

Poppy's very dear to me.
We've known each other a very long time but if she keeps this clean living crap up for much longer I'm gonna disown her.

Determined to keep off the fags [in fact finding it quite easy!], but will be back on the booze when off the tablets, I promise!!!
