Hi Trevor
Yes i had put a post up about Capt about a Week back, and still have not heard back from anyone ?? A bit worrying i feel as he is not the Chap to stay away for long! At times a few days to go to his beloved Hideaway!
I was hoping that someone may be able to contact him Personally there.
Like you i too am worried, that things may not be too good with him! Lets hope i am way way off!
Come on Capt show your face mate we miss you!
Cheers

Re: News about Captain Kong/
Again Capt as i had said before in my other post on your condition, i am so sorry to hear this bad news, and must be quite devastating for you and Anne.
Although you say they dont know what the cause is, surely in this day and age there is some way of detecting the issue at hand! With you being Paralized would it not relate to a Spinal Injury? Did this just suddenly come on , or was it gradual?? Very weird this !
Anyway Capt you hang in there keep your Chin up, as i am sure they will get to the crux of the matter soon!
Irene and myself send all best wishes to you and a speedy recovery!
Take Care
Cheers

Re: News about Captain Kong/
Brian, mate just how many China men did you kill??
But no joking that is not good news, maybe all the falls over the years have something to do with it.
Hang in there mate and get well, we all miss you.
Regards to Anne who no doubt has a lot to do to help you.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
