My news feed just showed a guy running on stage at the Eurovision contest and grabbing the mic of our singer. Apparently we came 24th, third from the bottom, I wonder why. Dig deep cos your gonna pay more when we leave.

Me neither Dinky, at least the Aussies gave us some points. I think we know why the EU countries didn't.

Ok folks, an update on my new bionic knee! Well, everything is going well, amazingly well in fact. For the first time in a long time I'm virtually pain free. I no longer really need a crutch for support although I do take one out with me just in case there are any stairs or steps to negotiate, it's just for balance purposes really. Yesterday I decided to give it a trial run by going into town. So,I got on the bus where a kind gent took one look at my crutch and gave up his ' please give up for disabled etc' seat near the front of the bus. Reached the main bus station and set of for the bank, this is about 200yds away and 3 weeks ago it was 200yds of agony. Breezed it. Decided then to go to Costa for a cheese toastie and a coffee. Rocked up and ordered my breckie, a kind barista looked at my crutch and said " pick yourself a table sir, I'll bring this over to you when you are settled". (my limp suddenly got worse) Yep, I could get used to this being spoiled thingy......if I wasn't such a nice chap, of course! What they have done to my knee!

Y'see, these fellas are really just bone engineers and as yer know, all of us engineers are clever sods without which the world would fall apart! Harrumph

Hey Dave/Guys..Nice to hear you have joined the new knees club and all is going well..Had my other one done on the 3rd May,spent 5 days in hospital and now am at home recovering, still got the stitches in and dressing on, still need the help of crutches.Mine was a bit difficult due to the fact that years earlier my lower leg was smashed into pieces.I unlike you was awake all the time and could feel them knocking,chiselling or whatever .Was quite poorly the following day due to a bad reaction to morphine but ok now.Looking forward now to pain free days, something which I haven't experienced in many a year.Totally agree that these guys know their stuff, very clever people.

Guys, happy tis going on well for you. My false knee is the best joint in my right hand side. One side effect is that I have learned to travel in shorts, it is a lot easier to point to the scar than to try to explain to some jobsworth security in another country that you have two bits of metal and a bit of plastic as a knee joint.
