I'm so sorry to hear this....God is good have faith your friends husband will recover....May the other lad RIP....I shall mention them in my prayers.

How awful for him and his family, it's dreadful

so so sorry for them OP. Real life puts BB into perspective - its our chance to escape and rant and rave and love/hate and chit-chat thru the screen whilst REAL life goes on

Big Brother is trivial every night.

and what about the Royals??? The boys are trained up for it so why not use them

That's really awful news Lazybug ......it certainly puts things like rows in BB into perspective.

I dont really know what else to say other than ..........God Bless your friend and her family and I hope her husband recovers quckly ....although obviously life will never be the same again

Lazybug How awful, I hope he pulls through x

That is truly awful

God bless him and his family

It is a bit of an escape on here sometimes when things are bad.

Families must be living on their nerves with their loved ones out there

Such a long road ahead of them

Did they not go with maximum security to protect them a few years ago? This is just not fair, the common man goes and dies everyday while the politicians kids are protected.....

Oh that's such sad news. Hope your friend makes a speedy recovery, though obviously life will never be the same again.

RIP the poor lad that lost his life.

Yup - I dont want to take over this thread with it - but it makes me sick. The 'Royals' do their training - and what for?? For Wills n Harry to large it up in clubs and borrow chenooks for whatever theyre called for dates. None of them royals/politician decision makers give a shit - have any of THEM lost a son or daughter in Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan???? No need to reply, as I said, I dont want to take over the thread - just really pisses me off

Oh dear.... i'm so sorry My prayers are with your friend and her husband

Sorry to hear your troubles Lazybug, heartfelt sympathy to you and your friend.

Lazybug,

I am so sorry. I live in a Garrison town, so I know lots of army wives & families.

I hope he pulls through....

For him and his family.... and for you too.

OP Im sorry for the hijack, this is the last time....

It pees me off as well... Too much injustice and the Politicians dont even show enough remorse...

Don't worry about hijacking the thread guys as it pisses me off too.

I'm just too tired and emotional to debate/discuss it right now but feel free to carry on...

I don't wanna go to bed as I'm waiting for more news and will be too scared to log on in the morning. I'm so tired now though.

My head is spinning and my heart is aching for them all.

Thanks for all the everyone

I'm so sorry Lazybug, my boy was in the army for 8 years, when he used to come home on leave I used to fantasise about causing him an injury to prevent him from being sent anywhere. Luckily he got a minor injury while on a tour & left the army. My heart goes out to all the families, wives, girlfriends, husbands & boyfriends of our brave boys & girls. I am an insomniac because of my son's army career.

I don't know how you coped for all those 8 years. My friends husband is the only one I know out there and that's bad enough but to have your own child out there fighting for the country is just too much for me to contemplate

we will all be thinking of your friend and her husband, and of course, you tonight.

The 'power' in this country should lead by example. They wouldnt be so ready to send OUR family members out to fight/start a war that is nothing to do with us

I just had an update...


Things are worse than they first thought - he has had surgery on his bowel and bladder, but they need to give him more surgery as everything below his chest is pretty mangled. He has been kept under sedation, but the little bit of good news is they roused him a tiny bit and asked him if he had any pain and he pointed to his stomach and gave a thumbs up sign, so they think there has been no brain damage.

It is very touch and go though, they are being told to take each hour as it comes. They can't say for sure that he will make it. He is on a ventilator as well.

The welfare officer is taking great care of them, with accommodation and all meals taken care of. He is also sorting out their insurance. My friend is overwhelmed with the support she is being offered, her local pub is already fundraising for them.

As for my friend - she is knocked sideways, though being incredibly strong - she has not broken down in front of the girls, though apparently she broke down badly last night after seeing him. She knows that her whole life is gone and now she has to figure out how to live this one.

They said that as he is such a healthy strong bloke it's why he's got this far as many wouldn't have made it.

I'm still in total shock and still praying for him and the family.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers...

Thinking of your friend and his family Bugsy...

He'll be fine. *fingers crossed*

No words ...it's just too awful.

Thanks Q I hope you're right and he pulls through. He's in Selly Oak Hospital and has the best care apparently.

Lazybug I have tears in my eyes reading this thread, no words are enough..

I pray he pulls through and they are given the help from this Country that they deserve

Such a terrible story over a needless & illegal War, when are our politicians going to wake up and get them all the hell out of there and back with their families where they belong!

Hear hear

True heros!

Oh my goodness.. it doesn't bear thinking about. for you and them.

My thoughts are with you and your friends family as well as those of the poor lad who was killed.
I know how you are feeling as I have lost many friends fighting for this country.
Rest assured he will recieve the best care while in hospital and your friend will not want for anything while he is there.

Lazybug, for you all

RIP to the young lad who lost his life.
