Subject: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Mrs.Duck Date: 27 Dec 00 - 07:12 PM Despite the title of this thread it is a serious one. Last night Bill and Lorna had a nasty bump when their car hit a patch of ice and then a tree. Both of them have bumps bruises and minor cuts but Bill is also nursing two broken ribs. Being the trooper that he is he still turned up at Mouldy's party and played his banjo but did ask that we avoided making him laugh. Bill actually went throughthe windscreen but you will all be pleased to know that there is no damage to those youthful good looks!! The car did not fare so well and will be written off. Hope you feel better soon, Bill. Now tell us again what you got for Christmas!! |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Cobble Date: 27 Dec 00 - 07:23 PM Get well soon both of you I was shocked to read this one. All the best will try to get round and see you as soon as possible, no jokes honest. Brian and Margaret. |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: John Routledge Date: 27 Dec 00 - 07:27 PM Sorry to hear of your experience Bill and Lorna. When you laugh we will know that you are cured! Speedy return to normality to you both.

Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Dec 00 - 07:41 PM What a bummer!!! Get well soon to both of you! And next time Bill, you might think of carrying that squeezebox on the front bumper as a kind of crash protection device. Spaw |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Sorcha Date: 27 Dec 00 - 07:47 PM Oh Dear! So very glad you are both all right! Through the windscreen with nothing but a couple ribs is a near miracle!! |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: CarolC Date: 27 Dec 00 - 07:50 PM Sorry to hear about that, Bill. I'm glad it wasn't more serious. I hope you can laugh again soon. Best wishes, Carol |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Dave the Gnome Date: 27 Dec 00 - 08:04 PM Just shows Bill, Over this side of the pennines you don't get that much ice... Get well soon Dave the Lancy Gnome |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 27 Dec 00 - 08:09 PM Not making Bill laugh - that must have been difficult. Just the sight of you all sitting around trying to keep straight faces would be enough to set him off. |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Sorcha Date: 27 Dec 00 - 08:11 PM Kate Sorchasdottir here------Geez Louise, Bill, am I glad you are OK! Just wanted to send my regards.....and don't think about elephants, either....... |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: GUEST,Noreen (at my sister's) Date: 27 Dec 00 - 08:14 PM Get well very soon Bill and Lorna. Take care of yourselves! Noreen |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Ebbie Date: 27 Dec 00 - 08:14 PM Spaw- how cruel! I hope Bill didn't laugh- but I did! Get well soon, Bill and Lorna. Congratulations on getting off that easily yourselves- I'm sorry about your car. It happened to me once- we wrapt around a telephone pole in a muddy field. Luckily the mud slowed us down enough that there wasn't much force left. Ebbie |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Big Mick Date: 27 Dec 00 - 08:34 PM Dammit all, Sables, take it easy willya??????? Shit, you make all these friends all over the country and then pull this!!!! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Mick |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Micca Date: 27 Dec 00 - 08:37 PM Bill, and Lorna get well soon, glad you are both in reasonable nick considering the damage to the car, many best wishes from the Southerners who met Bill at Llanstock. and it is amazing how many funny things you notice whan it hurts to laugh!!! is this not so Spaw? |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: katlaughing Date: 27 Dec 00 - 08:42 PM Sheesh, Bill! Glad to hear you are both doing okay and made it through; that sounds a nasty one! Get well, soon, and take the time to mend right, okay?! Don't rush it, either of you! Okay, I am done mother-henning.:-) luvyakat |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Dec 00 - 09:28 PM Great kat....Now shut the cluck up! Micca, I think Bill would be hard pressed (come to think of it he already got hard pressed, so to speak) not to get a laugh at those Christmas pictures of ours. If you include Banj and Bill in Alabama you have to admit its a dubious looking group. I can't help but notice the other family members in the pictures look pretty good so I'm wondering what the hell is wrong with the four of us? Bill, be sure NOT to look at the thread called "Mudcat Family Holiday Photo Album." Micca and Banj look like a matching pair of scouring pads, I look like I just farted, and Bill Foster has just mugged Smokey the Bear for his hat! Spaw |

Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 28 Dec 00 - 07:11 AM Bill and Lorna, I am so sorry about the crash, so glad you're not seriously injured, so sorry about the car, so glad you're still getting out, so sorry about the ribs, but glad Mrs. Duck thought to let us all know- I've been thinking of you a lot at Christmas and hope you will get well soon and can enjoy the dawning of the new year! Now, as I still sometimes have to say to Maggie (my daughter), whatever you do, don't smile---hey, I thought I said don't smile!! STOP THAT SMILING RIGHT NOW!!! (Just don't laugh... oops, sorry!) With love, Allison |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: bill\sables Date: 28 Dec 00 - 07:49 AM Thanks folks, The cuts in my head are healing ok now that I got the glass out but the pains are getting worse in my chest. It is a bugger when you can't turn over in bed and it is worse trying to get up. But I am sure a few gallons of Yorkshire tea and a couple of dozen fags will make it all better. I will get back to you all soon but at the moment my chest is painful as hell. Cheers Bill |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: mkebenn Date: 28 Dec 00 - 08:01 AM Damn, did the same last Christmas day, the ribs will take awhile. Glad it wasn't worse, cars can be replaced...Mike |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: JedMarum Date: 28 Dec 00 - 09:11 AM May you both heal quickly and completely! |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: annamill Date: 28 Dec 00 - 09:12 AM Times like this remind us to keep those we love close. I would like to see you guys again. I love you both and I am very happy that you are ok. I'm sorry about the car, my friends. Oh, and Bill, those pains your feeling from the broken ribs...not being able to get comfortable in bed at night.. kinda like being pregnant ;-) Oh, and you never told me about the "FAGS"!! Lorna??? Joking, of course. I miss you both. Love, annamill(dontdothatagain!) |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 28 Dec 00 - 09:17 AM Anyway it sounds as if the banjo wasn't damaged. |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Bill in Alabama Date: 28 Dec 00 - 09:39 AM Bill & Lorna-- Sorry to hear about your mishap; happy to learn that you were not injured more seriously. I have experienced broken ribs as well as going through windshields, and I recall both singularly unpleasant adventures. Don't laugh, and pray that you don't sneeze until summer! Bill Foster |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: dwditty Date: 28 Dec 00 - 09:45 AM Bill & Lorna, Heal quickly and be well. Now you know what that squeeze box has felt like all these years. dw |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: sophocleese Date: 28 Dec 00 - 09:49 AM Yikes! Glad to hear it was the car that was written off not either of you. Take care of yourselves. Lots of love, but no laughter at the moment. Let us know when its okay to giggle again. |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Sorcha Date: 28 Dec 00 - 10:02 AM You are going to find it just as difficult to cough, Bill, but you are going to have to----or the possibility of pneumonia goes wayyyy up.......sorry dear. |

Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Llanfair Date: 28 Dec 00 - 11:50 AM I'm so glad that you are both OK, you'll have to take it easy until the bones start to mend. Any preparation with comfrey in it will help. Look after yourselves. Cheers, Bron. |

Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Hollowfox Date: 28 Dec 00 - 12:55 PM Lorna and Bill, I'm so glad to hear you're alive! Take care and have a good new year.(Wow, how many of us 'Catters have had this type of accident? I was driving on glare ice against a steady wind. The wind stopped, and I kept control of the skid until I hit the maple tree.) |

Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Sorcha Date: 28 Dec 00 - 04:19 PM I rather like "a chariot sable crossed by a tree in chief" |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Kim C Date: 28 Dec 00 - 04:27 PM smoochie woochie! :) |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: bill\sables Date: 28 Dec 00 - 05:50 PM Big Phil has obviously been talking to my great friend Ian Ainsley who is probably the best mechanic in Yorkshire. Ian towed the car back to his workshop for the insurance assessors and informed me that we had felled two trees in the process of stoping. All I remember is seeing these bloody trees coming toward me and then we stoped and my door wouldn't open. They said that I was lucky, the passenger should not have got out alive as that side was very crushed, but I did, but I would have called it lucky if the car was parked outside now and I didn't have this bloody pain in my chest. All I can say is if you are going out for New Year take great care on the icy roads I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Cheers Bill |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Susan of DT Date: 28 Dec 00 - 06:13 PM Take care of yourselves, Bill and Lorna. You are important to a lot of us. |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Hollowfox Date: 28 Dec 00 - 06:43 PM Sorcha, wouldn't that be "a tree in pale"?(It's heraldic humor, folks. It can be contagious, so just tiptoe quietly past this one.) |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Sorcha Date: 28 Dec 00 - 06:47 PM Well, considering what Bill said about 2 trees, it could be "2 trees in saltire" also......... |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Cobble Date: 28 Dec 00 - 07:17 PM What are we to do with this man ??? We phoned to see if we could do any thing to help and the reply was "I would like a lift to the Jug on Wednesday". Well Bill if you feel up to it by Wednesday just call us and your chariot will be there! Margaret and Brian. |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Sorcha Date: 28 Dec 00 - 07:23 PM LOL!! You just can't keep a good man down, can ya? Oh, Bill, take care of yourself, ya hear? |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Micca Date: 28 Dec 00 - 08:29 PM Sorcha, Hf, perhaps the blazon shoud be " sable, a chariot, proper, 2 trees, proper, bendy? |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Sorcha Date: 28 Dec 00 - 08:33 PM LOL Micca! Good one! But where are the 2 trees proper? In chief? Per bend? Oh dear, this is getting too funny......the "visions" of the blazon are getting bizarre! |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Dave Swan Date: 28 Dec 00 - 08:45 PM Yikes! We tell our patients to hug a pillow really hard, using it as a splint when they feel a laugh, cough, or sneeze coming on. I'm sure split-in-half-Patterson can give you great advice on the practical management of rib fractures, too. In any case, no smiling, no laughing, no hoildays until you're well, which we hope is quite soon. All best, Pam & Dave |
Subject: RE: Bill Sables-Don't make me laugh From: Joan from Wigan Date: 29 Dec 00 - 01:59 AM Very best wishes, Bill and Lorna, hope you will feel better soon. |
