stand by let go forward , let go aft
In September 2014 after falling I had over 8 weeks in hospital in mobile with no Physiotherapy after much complaining and to re detail that here would be totally boring I put it in a lot of complaint . The complaint was dumped so I made the complaint bigger angrier and quite a lot louder .
After 22 months of Mobility I am starting a 5 week very intensive physiotherapy course and a specialist intensive physiotherapy unit on Monday next week the cost is similar to a mid-range family saloon car and it is being paid for by an NHS Trust .
It has come to my notice that despite blessed are the meek for The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth the noisy complaining awkward buggers get to run it .
NEVER GIVE UP
And I shall be on WiFi without paying the £40 a week the local hospital charges for WiFi access . This place is second to none and is recommended by the Jockey Club and the rugby football union .
So I've only got 3 cylinders working on the main engine and I've got five weeks to fix the rest on The Voice . From what I can gather the chief steward isn't on the fiddle and it's a good feeder . The Cabins are ensuite . So on Monday the shore group disembark and I am on my own to get the other three cylinders running but I have a couple of expert there call Physiotherapists and I believe they're like the worst Skipper I ever sailed with . So it's a rough trip with bad weather and hard work but hey I'm ex Clan Line so I've been on a rough ship before .
The NHS have been trying for many months to fob me off at the end of the day I won the Battle and the war

Re: stand by let go forward , let go aft
All right for this let go forward and let go aft stuff, has someone remembered to pull the gangway in. Will leave it all ready rigged for you Rob for you to stride down, unless of course you want the more splendid exit on the accommodation ladder. She"ll be right mate. JWS
