Wota great turnout this is looking to be!

JB broke his back a couple of years back. After a painful ambulance ride to hospital over the dangerous speed 'safety' bumps he was told all was ok and sent home. Only months later with an osteopath was he told he had broken his back and was dangerously close to death or paralysis.

Not one to slate the NHS as I think what Britian has is a great set up (ever seen Sicko the US docu-film?) but sometimes big mistakes are made. I don't expect the government intervention of silly stat measurements and red tape restrictions help our NHS workers do their best.

Good luck to you Paul, hopefully you'll feel much better tonight! :-)

So who else can make it then?

Sorry to read of your back problems Paul. I had 8 weeks of work at the start of the year with sciatica, and so know how painful things can be.
I think it took about 10 sessions with the oesteopth to get me right along with 84 anti inflamitary pills. Still take the occasional pills but my wife stopped the oesteopth when she realised I used to take my trousers off with her! Hope you can make it tomorrow as would not want to be the only Rutland member there

Dico could be right for once lads & lassies :lol:, it appears a lot of circumstances, beyond our control, have contrived against us this time. I don't mind what you decide, but suggest you make your minds up to let the few who can make it, change there plans if neccessary ?

10 sessions, thats a lot John !, no wonder the wife put a stop to it :lol:
Afraid i won't be there ( 1st one ive missed, i think ? ), perhaps its best to re-arrange this for next month, when i should be ok, & maybe Gary will to, but if you few still wish to go ahead, please do so. Presume Stef would still be coming, as it was her that suggested time & place ?

Probably best to re-schedule by the sounds of it.

Not fussed either way myself. Could have a quick beer with those who turn up tonight and a bigger meet another night! :-D
