Title: Grumpy Old Soldier
Post by: Snoopy on September 06, 2008, 01:08:48 PM
I have had an email from Mrs GOS ~ it seems that the old fella has had a relapse and is quite ill. I have no details as to what ails him.
I have, of course, passed good wishes for a speedy and full recovery from all of us. I'll post more as and when information comes to me.

I quote

"I am afraid that Gos is quite ill having just had a relapse hence his absence. I will pass on your concerns to him when I visit him today. Thank you ever so much for your e-mail and please pass on my thanks on Gos's behalf to everyone on the site.
Kind regards Mrs Gos"

Obviously in hospital as Mrs Gos is visiting this afternoon. I can tell you no more as I know no more.

I feel like I have almost lost a friend. And as someone who hates hospitals with a vengeance I wish him well

Please add my name to the long list of well wishers.

It must be the strain of him carrying that chest full of medals that does it.

Thanks MR it's good to be back, we had the same problems with Rommel and the Vichy in my days. I thought I had signed up for an 18-30 desert adventure, the long khaki shorts and rifle with the pointy dagger on the end should have given it away I suppose.

bloody'ell.. I wasn't expecting that, I almost went into shock! Anyway many thanks all of you for the kind words. I was feeling a bit down but yu have cheered me up. The NHS is stealing my body bit by bit,  I think there is more of me in the clinical waste bins at the hospital than there is here. I wonder if  can get anything off my community tax for that?

According to the locals hereabouts you line 'em up, position yourself and then you kick 'em in the knees.
