SSAFA – Soldier Sailor Airmen Family Association another charity and I think they have people on the ground in Cyprus.

Yes they told me not help available but an ex RAF chap has had a different story so he is following that up for me

Hadnt thought about HFH – worth an ask

Thanks i appreciate that

You are a victim of my bad punctuation
I have seen all of that apart from getting pads free is what i meant

We have had family members there, I am just trying to phase visits to be most effective theres little point in everyone being there together

if he’s been kicked out of hospital surely he’s safe for day to day life i.e. you can drive him home OK?

Err not really no
Can’t walk, 90% paralysed one side, cant speak, eat or drink without being spoon fed, catheter in and incontinent other end, has urine infection and chest infection too although he has had some antibiotics

Not moaning about cypriot care as I have seen NHS do similar although visitors have had to buy incontinence products from a shop in the hospital as they are not supplied

P&O will pick him up in cyprus, have to have a carer with him and you have to pay the full cruise fare

Might be an option though whoever goes with him does get half a cruise…..

Also i have got a ex RAF chappie to talk to the RAF benevolent chappies as he is getting positive noises I was just told no chance

Must be the moustaches!

Cheers Ill try that!

Fly out there yourself – ferry to the mainlaind then drive across Europe ? Or at least as far as somewhere that has a proper health service… Italy ? How much to hire a Doc or a Nurse for a week to go with you ? There are loads of private ambulance firms about, two in my small town (lots of retired people)

Possibly but the only ferry now is from northern cyprus(turkish) to turkey then thats a hell of a drive!

a quick google indicates that really for ships you’re looking at freighter based services – which do go direct to Southampton (Grimaldi) – but they do seem to stipulate that you must be in good health so you’re best bet is to try phoning the shipping companies and explainign your position rather than relying on an email exchange.

Yes I saw that cheap too! but takes 13-14 days with no medical care

I will be phoning the cruise companys today, but not sure of the regs with shipping passenger manifests etc

Have you phoned the embassy/consulate?

I have tried but they are hard to get hold of, i am trying again, but not sure what they can do though

I have contacted the RAF charities too as he was a long time aircrew and helicopter winchman but there is no help available outside the UK

Breadmakers are well gay!.

No way – bread rocks!

Yes got given one never ever used it though

I was riding few years ago came across a group of starwars stormtroopers having a battle!

We do get a lot of reenactment groups, its odd seeing a saxon warrior unloading a battle axe and shield out of the boot of a mondeo!

they put the fish and chips in the sauna to keep them warm while they have a swim and then eat them on the patio furniture at the side of the pool once they done playing in the water.

Pure genius!

Oh OK then! 🙂

I think spokebloke means the correct amount of heat for optimum efficiency!

thats what i was wondering, you can get them for around 90 but thats why i’m asking as its a still lot of dosh for a pixie fuelled toy!

BAN THE MAN WITH THE FACE OF A PIG!!

uwe-r
I guess the telling thing is that he’s only at Hammy Odeon not a bigger venue but that just makes the price even more ridiculous

maybe it wont sell out but i suspect you are right folks will go to say they have seen the man

I would like to see him – never have but i just hate feeling i’m being ripped!

I guess i never will then

I imagine you’ll spot him as he swaggers in and wuffs, ‘How you doin’?’ to the laydee….!

pretty true actually, we had a boy that was used a fair bit at stud, he was never wrong as to whether the lady was ready just would hop on and do the biz, he was called Flash though! dumbest dog we ever had in the brain department

Its normal to have a few visits, unless the stud is proven to be reliable on just the one

Oh ok midges then! 😕

Tablet! thats now that’s some sweet schtufff

Yes
Have a look on money saving expert a good guide on there, it shows you how to calculate your house price when the bands were set and see if it was realistic then, then you can claim the deficit.

I got about 3k back

Yes Ignore, have a look online especially on money saving expert.

It is a con just an invoice not a fine you will get about 5 letters just ignore as if you reply you get more

Mine was from a woking superstore car park if that helps

Ooooohhhh
Hope it can live up to the past!

Heather
Thanks i will wait for the a good forecast before booking anything!

Parking Eye

Yes thats the one I had, look em up on the interweb moneysaving expert had a forum about them.

Ignore, they are trying it on

Cheers guys!

Top advice as always, really looking forward to it as its the furthest north i’ve been in scotland

Shinty! never seen that, would like to I’ll see if there’s a game on as well

Yeti
I personally would just ignore it

Yeti who is the bill from?

Unless it is from the council or police it is an invoice and they have to prove losses incurred (which is just the parking fee)

I ignored the ones from a shopping centre car park that my missus stayed for just over the 2 hour limit and it went away after 5 letters from solicitors debt collectors. I was advised to never reply as that just drags it out

Look on line lots of stuff about this

As chairman he will still have a lot of clout though

Cheers Guys!

Do you folks waterproof the battery packs at all ?

Paul
