    It’s probably having short legs that’s worn your hips out —- you’ve been taking two paces where everyone else takes one.

    That's the plan, although there's always a risk I could be abroad again...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I don’t want to face another four seasons with this pain and more importantly… decreased quality of everyday life, so….. I’ve decided to go private. I’ve got a meeting with the Doc (same specialist I saw on NHS last Thursday) next Monday 5th June at Cheltenham with an estimated
    August date for the operation. That’s only nine or ten weeks away
    I was told the wait for my knee would be late January/early February. March at very latest. Ended up as Mid August

    If I could have afforded it I would have gone private. My knee replacement wasn't straightforward with a made to measure joint needed (3d printed in titanium)
    The quote was north of £40k

    You don't want leg extensions, as you pay a fortune for trousers, if you can find any that fit

    I wasn't offering him mine, depends on how long he wanted to have them lengthened, I have a 36 inch inside leg, not easy getting trousers in that length, jeans ain't to bad.

    I'm the other way round having 27" legs. I have to get every pair of pants I buy shortened. They aren't designed to be shortened by 3" so they always look odd when being worn.
    I'm just waiting to see if my holiday application is accepted before I can commit to come to The Bash.

    Hey Pauly. Although it's going to be expensive, that's great news, my friend. And, this way, you'll be back to your best in no time at all. Hopefully you'll be able to manage the pain well enough to do this July Bash and also attend the September one as a revitalised Little Pauly if those timings / recuperation slot into place.

    Hopefully (for us) those timings will allow your attendance again, Jon.
