Subject: RE: BS: Top Gear's Richard Hammond
ah.. talking of piss-taking..

25 odd years ago when i was subsidising my punkrock band playing activities

by working as an orderly in an amputees hospital ward..

one of my daily duties was helping blokes of all ages

go to the lav when they needed to..

either wheeling in the legless and giving them a disposable bottle..

or 'helping' the armless to aim & empty their bladders..

[i think thats as much as needs to be detailed in a family friendly website]

a very humbling and embarrasing situation for myself at the age of 20

and for the guys around the same age as me
who must have truly believed they were invincible road warriors.

and who would now need to spend the rest of their lives
disabled and dependant
on professional health workers
and their families..
