nothing too exciting for me..
7 years ago i had an asthma attack which nearly killed me!
I had been working long days, going home and decorating my house until late then up early for work and carried on like that for some months. The work was done and myself and Claire were chiiling out in the newly decorated house admiring the work we had put into making it look nice, i felt my chest tightening a bit and could feel myself getting a bit chesty so i asked Claire if she could go next door to my parents house and get my ventolin (asthma reliever) pump…….she left to go next door and i remained in the house sitting on the sofa but something didn’t feel right! the tightness wasn’t easing no matter how much i relaxed so i thought i’d better go next door and get the pump as i knew Claire could be there for 5 or 10 minutes chatting with my folks. I made my way out the door and stepped over the wall into my folks garden and knocked on the door………Claire answered and sure enough she was there chatting with my Dad……the last thing i recall is Claire reaching out to me to give me my ventolin and me reaching forwards to get it then nothing!!
I awoke about 20 minutes later and just like the effect you see on the TV i saw a hazy silhouette of a blonde lady dressed in green slowly come into focus and realised it was a paramedic….the first thing i said was “you’re very pretty”!! and i remember hearing Claire say “he’s alright!!”……I remember feeling very wet down my trousers and very confused, i was taken to hospital and kept in overnight and finally discharged in the morning, my face looked awful, it looked like i had measles as all these spots had come up under my skin and i recall being told that it was caused by something (possibly blood vessels) rupturing under the skin……..I finally found out what had happened to me from Claire and my Dad (thankfully Mum was over an aunts that night)
As i walked in i went to grab the asthma pump but collapsed on the floor in the hall, Claire had tried to hold me up but couldn’t so she called my Dad…….i vaguely recall Claire calling my name but it seemed very distant, almost like an echo……Dad came over and saw me on the floor and realised that i had actually stopped breathing, he got me into the front room where there was more room and began giving me the kiss of life and beating on my chest as he couldn’t feel a heart beat, whilst Claire was on the phone to the emergency services……..as she recalls she remembers my Dad saying that he was losing me and to tell the ambulance to get a fucking move on!!! good old Dad, he’s totally mastered the art of the English language 😉
The paramedics arrived and managed to bring me around with oxygen and the wetness in my leg was where, i’m ashamed to say i’d wet myself whilst unconscious, apparently a normal thing!! 😯
All in all pretty much a non-event for me though everyone else was freaked by it for some time, its sounds crazy but it was pretty tranquil, a bit of panic initially but no pain and once out cold then i wouldn’t have known anything more about it.

ahhhh, birthday greetings cost extra!!! fuck that! Quit ya whining bossman and be grateful that at least someone noticed 😉
lol, i like the voice over, very tongue in cheek i think.
Agree with what you say about the effort they have gone to, a lot of detail in the actual game such as flag markers for mines, animations of grenade launcher and sticky mine and the amount of content such as in the ingame browser and even the “training vids”.
The toolbox they have created looks a tasty bit of kit if it works as described………..it will enable you to enter your monitors res, auto download any pb updates, check different timezones, clear out your cache and disable intro movies as well as track buddies on aim, ts, yahoo and various other chat apps.As you say Mike, the proof is in the playing so we await with baited breath for the game to see how it plays but i’d put my neck out and say that after 2 years development and the quality of FH1 that the first release won’t be too much of a dissapointment.

Forget FH2, never going to happen.
errr, its out Friday 🙄
get back to your shock paddles medihax, let the real men through with their band-aids!! 😉
happy birthday matey, i received a happy birthday greeting from the rats and various other forums, why doesn’t ours send out automatic greetings ? 🙁 😉
i take it you’re refering to the “other” animal farm film there Tess ? It does indeed exist and though i haven’t seen it and have no intention to do so, a few mates have and the things they’ve told me about it is enough reason for me not to bother……….vic may be interested though 😀
Seen these vids before, if you watch the 2nd vid between the times of 3.41 and 3.44 when the front view is on, you can see the smoke thats billowing from the ground is disturbed by the aircraft flying through it! Its this attention to detail that i think/hope will justify the long wait for the mod…………….it didn’t dissapoint on BF1942 so i’m hoping for good things.
Saney old chum, lets hope you’re wrong about that, the 2 weeks i’m planning to take off will be the only proper time i’ll have to get a game or 3 with you chaps, once i’m back at work its back onto nights…though i should be looking after the folks cafe again in late January, early Feb so i may get a few extra weeks then!!!!! woohoot!!
😀
