"At 10 yrs old I had a grumbling appendix, ok so the pain only ever came on on a Sunday night (school next day) the doctor said I just didn’t want to go to school. After 3 months of infrequent pain a locum diagnosed appendicitis and referred me to hospital. After the surgery the surgeon said that it was so strangulated it was ready to burst, quite likely I would have had blood poisoning and it would have killed me. Years later in 1993 I had an infection in my hip (after a riding accident 6 months earlier) I’d had a few infections while in hospital after the initial operation and after getting home. This time the surgeon ignored me and said I just needed more physio, 3 weeks later after a physio appt for which I was late for as I could hardly move they organised a GP home visit for me the next morning, she organised an ambulance, when in the ward the resident dr took blood. This showed that my infection level was off the chart I was also severely anaemic. An emergency operation later revealed an abscess ready to burst inside, they only just caught it in time. I hadn’t realised I was very ill. After that my surgeon referred me to a different surgeon. " wow thanks for sharing the story . Trust you are fit and well now . | |||

" Because of the abscess in my hip, it cut off the blood supply to my femur which then died and crumbled. It left that leg short by about 3.5 inches, so had to wear a shoe raise on the outside of my shoes/boots, whenever I bought new ones I had to wait ages to wear them as they had to be sent to Newcastle to a specialist. In 2006 I had a total hip replacement with a “girdle stone” attached to lengthen my leg (it’s just a small bit of metal placed somewhere not sure about the jist of it) but my muscles were quite tight, I’m stil about am inch out, so need to use a crutch for balance, or ill end up looking like some sober d*unk idiot outside lol. I’m supposed to wear a heel raise inside my shoe but I can’t be arsed with it. Incidentally, after the accident (horse landed on me) I got riding again, and again after the replacement. Since then I’ve had both knees done too as a knock on effect of the hip. | |||

"Sitting in the back garden, aged 12. Heard a lot of screaming and shouting from the next door's house. Turned out his son, who was in my year at school, had his Dad's rifle aimed at me and was going to take a shot. His Dad walked in on him as he was taking the safety off. The screaming and shouting was their son protesting how it was unfair that Dad wouldn't let him shoot me." you look such a gentle soul aswell | |||

The father claimed that it was a misunderstanding, although years later admitted that it was genuine. The son later went to prison for other offences. | |||

"Sat on a wall outside the Grand Hotel in Brighton after a gig waiting for the lift home. A week or so later, a bomb went off in the hotel. It was stated the bomb was planted well in advance. Therefore it was in the hotel at the time we were outside." It was planted well in advance and was attached to the timer from a VHS recorder; I was in a building society office in Belfast several years ago, and the guy who was convicted for planting the device, Mr Magee, was in the queue in front of me! | |||

I was on the Chinook we took into Basra airport to scope it out prior to using it as a base. Had the jump seat and privilege of looking the airport building straight on as the crew max powered straight at it and leapfrogged it - absolutely shat myself if I'm honest. | |||

"This will be a bit long and I was only two at the time so I don’t know if it counts… but when I was two my parents decided to go to a small town called omagh to do a bit of shopping on the 15th of august 1998. When we got there we went into a shop and my father realised he had forgotten his wallet at home so back down the road we went, parents say when we got home and they watched the news they realised we would have been within 50meters of the bomb before it went off " I have a similar story about the IRA bomb in Manchester in 1996. My Dad was going to take us out in Manchester but changed his mind at the last minute. Then...... We know what happened. | |||
