Good Morning all, some members may be aware but many are not of the following
John, BD to all, has been in an accident in Thailand. He is currently in hospital and in good care. He has the following issues, broken collarbone, 6 broken ribs, a damaged lung and some other issues.
At this time his wife Simone has just arrived and as I get any further details i will update all.
My thoughts go out to BD and his family while he recovers.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes and support it is much appreciated im very humbled.
Probably a bit much to throw up but it's been a very challenging couple of weeks to say the least.
I'm finally back in Oz in Hospital and on the road to recovery with a few hurdles to jump but I'm here.
Look forward to catching up over a beer or two :cheers:
BD and Family

I tell you, when I was in hospital with a banged up knee for weeks awaiting surgery, I really appreciated those that brought me real food.
The tasteless slop they serve would have POW's turning it down
