    At least it's 'stable' and I don't need number 4 just yet. I might even sleep tonight.

    But hey, I have a lovely shiny car with a new windscreen.

    WTF!? What happened? I spent the afternoon charming the yummy mummies in the park.

    You have the same car as me; a grey one.

    There was a nice willowy blonde girl in tight jeans on one of the other cases but I was the notable exception in the jury of the munters. Don't get me started on how thick a couple of them were...like not understanding the difference between proof and 'I think he did it so he's guilty' :roll:

    I was the foreman as everyone else bottled it, so at least had a decent chance to 're-educate' the really thick one.

    Stevo I'm seeing in you a new light as a doughty heroic Henry Fonda type character, hope you are making notes in order to submit your script later. Seriously though, the people you describe trying to re-educate, I wouldn't have the gumption to bother myself so fair play.

    One of those weeks this week. Think I'd have preferred jury service, but maybe not being foreman or the subject matter. Sounds a bit grim. Hobgoblin Gold to recover.
    Shit happens....

    If I hadn't volunteered to be foeman, we might still be considring our verict - there are some seriously thick f***ers out there. Once the initial impact of the type of case subsides a bit, you just have to be professional and get on with it.

    4 pint's of cider tonight helped.

    The judge said we had to return a unanimous verdict so in the interests of getting out in time, I did what I had to do. In then end it was a cut and dried decision so not a big problem. Apart from walking past the plaintiffs relatives on the way out of court.

    Some of them looked quite scary and that was just the women. Managed to avoid eye contact and kept going.

    It's a long story.

    Boy gets given medicine for heap big bone marrow problem.Boy gets new marrow. Boy gets more medicine to stop sptting marrow out of pram. Medicine causes hip problems x 2. Boy gets new hips x 2. Boy's new hip near side get's infected. Boy get's new near side hip.
    Man wears out hip No.2 (off side). Man needs new one (ish) maybe. Or part of or part ex. Maybe some glue. Maybe whole lot (without warranty).

    Just f*cked off really. OH will have to stop work for a little while. I'll need recovery time. If I spend any longer than a day away from the girls, I miss them.

    If I have raised inflammation levels in my blood test tomorrow, i'm straight in without passing go and collecting £200.
    If not, then at least I can plan ahead and get things sorted here as well as the fact that it will only be an acetabular cup replacement. That would be the very best scenario.

    Hope it goes well tomorrow and you get your best case scenario.

    What's the latest?

    Hip is causing major discomfort. However, CRS indicator is high. If it comes down over the next few days, then there's probably no infection but... Right hand outer edge of the cup is wearing and will need to be replaced sooner rather than later. If the hip breaks through the acetabular cup liner, then it may wear the head of the prosthesis out quickly and he would like to replace the cup before then, if it isn't already happening.
    He won't actually know until he actually sees the head when he does the cup. All indicators are that the liner is intact.

    Just wear and tear, It's 19 years old and i've done a pretty physical job the best part of the last 12 years. Going to give up the table tennis.

    Sorry to hear that Pinno. I'm wishing you an enormous amount of luck and sending you positive vibes. You are allowed a sabbatical from work but not from here, or I'll send T47b after you.

    Fingers crossed for the blood test, and that the best scenario comes to pass, even though that doesn't sound too great.

    I'd rather smash them to bits and chuck them over the fence into next door's garden than part with them anyway.
