the further adventures of McTard

hello tardwatchers.

went back to the hospital on wednesday and they told me I don't get a weightbearing cast until at least the 28th december. that's the whole of berlin, xmas shopping, my birthday and xmas spent hopping. I really fucking hate hopping.

so today I have been a busy bee. I've cancelled my train tickets to manchester airport and booked return taxi's with Airline Connections - £54 for the two of us so not too expensive for the extra convienience (sort of realised geof would have to be carrying a lot of luggage by himself otherwise...) I've attempted to rent a wheelchair for a month to cover berlin and xmas shopping and anyother stuff where it might be useful to be able to scoot around with my hands free instead of hopping or using crutches and having no hands free. I've printed out my flight documents, found my passport, obtained some EUROs and phoned BA and mentioned wheelchairs. the only weak link is the wheelchair company - am hoping they sort it out ok at such short notice (it's all done with couriers anyway cos I couldn't find a local place that hired)

It was nice to get out and drink (albeit somewhat gently) on saturday - people have now vandalised my cast. I had to change brad's to 'BRAD AUNT' as it was just a tad too visible to be left alone. had a lazy day yesterday with geof and baby red watching the extended fellowship of the ring, gladiator and the thing - and munching tasty curry.

any way tardsters I'm off to do some more work.

How come you picked Berlin to go to?

Is "I Kill Children" still on your cast???

I’m surprised it’s legible, with me being as drunk as I was – plus I got bored with writing the word “children” so I finished the last part of it with a long squiggle.

When is it you're off to Berlin again? We just miss you don't we?

Good grief that is short notice! We're not away until the 15th so we have a little while at least.

Disabled travel - re on the plane ring your flight company and explain you need extra legroom as you have a cast on. If berlins a big airport ask for an electric buggy to take you from the plane to customs.

Hopping? Hah! Yer doan know yer born. Try doing both legs at the same time. It's no fun having to crawl to the toilet all the time.
