Anyway, while I was at the LRI with my consulant, I took the opportunity to ask him about my 'right' shoulder which isn't nearly as strong or mobile as my new left one. I asked him that if I could have my rebuilt 'right' shoulder, replaced like the left one, what the likely outcome would be! "Mr Rats, the damage that was done to your left shoulder was not even comparable to the mess that was inflicted on the right one, the left one was a fairly straightforward procedure, the right one was anything but straightforward." He went on to say that there is an op that can be had, I think he called it 'An upside down replacement' He said that it was a 'serious' op, the prognosis is not usually very good, certainly it would not be the success that my left shoulder is and the chance of everlasting pain after the procedure, is quite strong! H pointed out that I'd managed ok for two years with this right shoulder without much pain, so I should think long and hard before opting for the op. Well, I didn't think very hard and only thought for about five seconds..........sod that thought I, I'll smash on as I am! A little bit broken, but still unbowed.

I'm with you there Dave I had an operation a few years ago for spinal stenosis.It improved my situation greatly-without actually curing it.I'm a holder of a blue badge now,and I recently had an MRI.Mr GP read the results to me,and whilst he said another operation might help the issue,there was no guarantee that it would. Like you I declined and will soldier on, PS.Your previous post about being "discharged" puts you on a par with "she was only the Admiral's Daughter...

That's great news, I hope my Mrs gets discharged with her shoulder, she had the cortisone jabs and is much better. Still doing physio though. Hmmm, your missus is doing well then, my ex (#1) had those injections in both shoulders and they had no effect. After the bang to her shoulder and with the pain lasting so long they said it was a touch of arthritis and hence the injections, and they have certainly helped I doubt she will be 100% but the heat from Crete certainly helped also plus the Kopparberg's. Cornwall tomorrow and I expect some more Kopparberg's with hopefully more sun. An Oggie and a pint of merrydown for me. TripAdvisor says the Bucket of Bloods landlord is a grumpy sod, we shall see.

Try and get to the Blue Anchor in Helston at the bottom of Coinagehall Street, on the left just before the bowling green. "Spingo Special" at 1066 og. Washes down the oggie nicely (which also serves as blotting paper!) Just this side of Penzance, in Crowlas, just off to the west of the A30- The Star Inn. Mega. I'm down there again on the 3rd of September! Have a good break nob. e&oe

Hmmm, I've been wondering about that 'blue badge' thingy. As I'm not supposed to carry heavy stuff, I'm wondering about carrying stuff to my van. TBH, I fancy that my conscience, knowing very well that there are many folks far worse than myself, would bother me a bit by using one!

And in the Blue, ask if you can take a look at the brewery out the back. There's a skittle alley too and a garden right at the back (so I'm told...never got that far!)

So much for those posters who regard us on this Island as "thick Oirish Paddies" Gcse results for 2016... In England, the proportion of A* to C grades fell from 68.8% last year to 66.6%. Top A* grades were down from 6.6% to 6.4%. ◾In Northern Ireland the proportion of these good passes increased slightly to 79.1% and top A* grades rose to 9.3%. ◾In Wales, the level of A* to C passes remained at 66.6%, with A* grades rising slightly to 6.1%.
So it has been for the past few years too. "honi soit qui mal y pense"

"honi soit qui mal y pense" Pierre what the hell has stirred your loins to point out to the Neanderthal mainland members that this year's NI exam results dwarfs the rest of the UK's to almost uneducated. For Christ's sake its been like that since Labour axed selective secondary education. They call the Irish thick but exam results show comprehensive education is the choice of the socialist lets all fail together party.

Never got there, it was rammed with traffic, the M5 was shut so we got diverted through Taunton. when we got to Hayle the furthest we went was Penzance and St Ives but the car parks were all full so had to park at a little space this guy had, better than nowt, the town was heaving. Walked to the Bucket of blood a couple of times, Phil the landlord was ok and not grumpy unless its an old one they are on about on trip adviser. Exeter is a lovely city but quite a few sleeping in doorways and pissing down alleys.

Tripadvisor is unreliable. It comprehensively stated that the island we went to off Cuba's north coast ran out of water each night becausd it was shipped in on the ferry each morning and the electricity kept going off and the island was infested with rodents. So I took a collapsing fishing bait bucket to heave sea water down the netty if needed. What a load of cods that turned out to be. Only one "rodent" and it was first rate from start to finish. Only the peeps with a gripe bother to post. Bad news about the emmett migration on the roads. That's why we always try to go out of school holidays. It's cheaper too. Trouble is- leave it too long and the weather buggers off. Too soon and you can't take your quadruped sh1te factory on the beaches! (That's what the Blue is for though.) Thinking of Cuba, I wonder what happened to Colin again?
