Wife and daughter's holiday not going to plan!

Post by Pondrew » Sat Aug 13, 2022 10:23 am

Quick update as of yesterday.
It appears not to be as serious as first thought. Cracked skull and localised bleeding, but no brain injury. The holiday may not be totally ruined after all.
Lucky boy by the sound of it, especially considering what a stupid thing he did; balancing a step ladder right against the edge of the top step of a spiral staircase. It obviously moved slightly, tipped one leg over the step and the lot gave way.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Good to hear about that, and are you sure it is not John’s twin?

My BIL has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer, so I wouldn't associate John with him. That would be an insult! :o :D :thumbsup:

Difficult for everyone concerned. Hope he doesn’t suffer any permanent damage.

Yes indeed. I think the word f*ckwit sums him up nicely. :)
