Strike Out His Eyes!

[paulvonscott]

Got a phonecall from Ben 'Griefbringer' Clark to say he's in hospital with a detatched retina.  He phoned at about 4 in the afternoon, which I think was really inconsiderate as he must have known I'd be asleep at that time.  

Anyway, it all seems straight forward and he should be okay.  But as I know he can read the board but not post on it, I thought I'd wish him well here.

Get Well.

Gel.

Anyway, I'm sure all you'll need is some yellow specs, but your dreams of joining the army are I'm afraid, over.http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/paulvonscott/mike.gif">

Poor guy. Imagine waking you up like that...


Give him a manly hug from me.

Try not to steal a wheelchair and try to invade Fishburn, though. ;)

Hope you get well soon, Ben.

aieee ! a big queenly hug from me, via paul to ben, and i want to see photos..

 you don't suppose he's been accidently striking his own eyes out in his sleep do you ?

[Byron Virgo]

Shit! Well who am I going to get my copy of Griefbringer from now...?

No seriously, get well soon, Ben - and don't think about being laid up in hospital as being a bad thing, but instead giving you the necessary time to get on with writing 'Black Rogers in the 25th Century'...

;-)

Tsk- I've only been waiting three years for the fucker to write me a story to illustrate.  Detached retina?  Bah- some people will do anything to avoid a bit of graft!

Did you see what I did there?

[Bart Oliver]

I hope this incident wasn't brought about putting together a second Griefbinger photo strip?

Ben, best wishes on a speedy recovery!

Get well soon.

(until then an eyepatch would probably be a pretty cool accessory, also maybe a fez or a dueling scar)

how exactly does one detach ones retena...?

[Matt Timson]

Bungee jumping can cause it.  Apparently.

[Bart Oliver]

I knew someone who did it by sneezing too hard.

[paulvonscott]

"how exactly does one detach ones retena...?"

You know how it is, you think you're destined to be with each other forever, you stick together through thick and thin, but over the years you find yourself drifting apart...

It's sad, but retinas do become detached.

Ben had a lot of problems with his eyes while at bristol, he went to the Doctor and from there  was sent straight to hospital.  After the surgery he will need to remain really still apparently.  Which shouldn't be a problem.

Crimeny. Hope your eyes remain safely inside your head, Ben, and don't end up in a jar by your bedside (although how cool would that be?!).
