Relieved to hear you're on the mend, Ghost. 38 stones would make a fine album title.

Indeed! Rock on, Ghost!

Quote from: "Geetar"Can you tie that to a stick and get some musical use out of it?

Or you could re-gravel the drive.

Look, chaps, we'd better not make poor Ghost laugh too much otherwise it'll hurt him.

My dear other half had her gall bladder removed last year. Apparently it was the size of a grapfruit (should be the size of a golf ball) and the largest they'd removed via keyhole surgery.

To say she was in agony would be an understatement. Considering she'd given birth just 3 months before, I'd say the birth was easier!!

So, you have our sincerest sympathies and our bestest well wishes for a speedy recovery.

Giles

PS - after the op we wondered how many internal organs you could have removed and still function...bizarre thought really!

Get better quick, Ghostie!

get well, Ghost! wow, 38 stones. sounds epic!!

I can commiserate a bit about the recovery, as I'm laying in bed for 24 hours after a out-patient surgery today. nothing serious, but laying around is a bore! lucky I just got Neon by the Urbane and the Third Age by PRR, so the music is good!

Hope you're up and about soon too, Rog. I too know what it's like to be bed ridden for long periods of time, but that's just because I'm a fat, lazy git.

It's still boring, though.

rogerg · July 02, 2009, 12:55:40 AM

thanks, Mouse. I'll be up and around tomorrow. it was a pretty routine procedure that men sometimes have when you're my age and have already had all the kids you want...

Ah, le snip! I remember it well. I was full of horror stories for other chaps and in the end it was really quick and, at most "a bit uncomfortable" afterwards. The procedure itself felt like no more than having a button sewn on to your trousers whilst wearing them.

Hope you are both up and about (ooer) asap.

I now know of one thing Roger and Marillion's Mark Kelly have in common. I just can't think of a quiz show that would ever ask.

They released me and I'm currently enjoying sitting at home, though I still have to wait until the 14th of july for the remaining stitches to be removed. I have the stones in a little container, but making music is out of the question with them as they're too bloody small. I've thought about writing about them, but I find they're not worth the effort or honor. So, I've taken a big sticker and stuck it onto the container, but not before scribbling 'Bastards 2007 - 2009' on it.

Hopefully when I've got my recording rig sorted out I'll be able to record music again, I've got plenty of new demo's to work out.

A class move, sir. :lol:

heh give somebody on Facebook another day or two....

and good news, Ghost! but make that jar a tin can, and I'll bet it would make a dandy shaker!

Good to hear this is finally sorted Ghost!

So is everyone out of the woods now?!
