COB, you would make a perfect Scientologist

To quote Tom Cruise, who apparently is 'the only being in the solar system' who knew what to do in the event of a car crash.

 

err... thanks

 

got a bit of an update now.

seems we live in a small world

my next door neighbour just popped round and it seems that his grandaughters boyfriend works with this chap, al.

from what i heard he needs most the top of his skull skin grafting due to the damage caused.

christ, makes me wonder what would have happened if i had been 2 mins later

hopefully via this avenue i may/may not found out a little more information about al and his recovery.

 

In that case he's just lucky it had fewer than eighteen wheels ! !

 

sit under the back end of a cow and wait...........for a pat on the back!!

Well done that man!

 

Outstanding example of a Good Samaritan.

 

well done cob

 

You're a real star, my old mate.

 

Well done mate, saved his life.

Instincts take over and you just go into auto mode when something like this happens. It's a shame too many people either twist their heads around to look and drive on or are just to involved in their own personal BS to get involved.

When I had my serious accident, instincts took over, I ran out of my car to the other driver who had gone through the wind screen to try and help, 5 car's all stood still and people are just standing there.

I collapsed after talking to the guy.. I had fractured my skull and ruptured my vertebrates + various facial injuries but was running on adrenaline for 5 minutes.

Top man mate, hope the other fella makes a good recovery!

 

Superb!! Now that you have a contact path you can make sure he buys you that beer!!

 

Yep, very many congratulations on being a real star. Well done my old mate, my old mucker.

 

It's a small world indeed Andy! I hope Al makes a full recovery, well done you

 

So will there be a headline in the local rag tonight: "Local Subaru Owner saves man's life"?

You should feel that warm glow of satisfaction Chocolate-you well deserve to.

doubt it. was literally 8-9 lines in fridays paper mate. im not fussed, so long he gets better.

 

Yep, glad to see this threads still around and going strong....

This kind of selfless act restores my faith in mankind, we go quite far (understatement of 2008) at times on Scoobynet to point out whats wrong in the world, who's acting a tosser, etc....and so on....

So to stumble on this over the weekend lifted my spirits and if anything brought this 'loose gathering of people with **** all to do all day but **** around on the internet' one step closer to feeling like a real community!

So (as already said)... Well done that man, and respect from the Hunster, if I lived near you you'd be on the receiving end of a beer and whiskey chaser

 

Andy.. The fella had someone smiling on him that morning, and you close by to lend a hand.. doesnt happen often in todays world but even you saying you never did a lot, you most likely gave the guy the chance of life..

Well done bloke

 

There you go Choccie, everyone thinks you did really well my old chum.

 

Can you stop trolling this thread please.... you're just making yourself look like a grade 'A' ****

 

How can praising someone be regarded as trolling?

Choccie saved a life - bloke done well.

Lots of praise due IMHO.

 

Make that an "A+"

 

Thank you!

 

appreciate that considering weve never always gotten along

 

had a chat with my neighbour last night.

seems al was out of hospital by saturday. from what i heard, his head was bandaged (needs the skin graft on most his scalp), arm/wrist in a pot, and his left knee was in a pot too. oh and on crutches somehow.

where did he get spotted?

down the local bowling alley

couldnt make it up. anywho ive asked him to pass on a message to get well soon and PICK HIS BLOODY BIKE UP

knowing hes kind of up and about has put me in a good mood now, nice to see whatever i did do has helped him.

 

lol... if he'd have had a paper cut ,it would have stung for weeks!

 

At which end of the lane?

 

Why am i getting an image of someone sticking two fingers and a thumb in the poor guys head, here

 

That'll be the surgeon doing the skin graft

Great to hear he's OK

 

I've had the most random experience today, after 8 years of me doing this thread. This proves what a crazy world it is sometimes.

I'm outside this morning putting my son in his car seat to go do some jobs. I get a tap on my shoulder and it was this guy! He asked if I was Andy, I said yes and we basically got talking. He'd been searching for me on and off for years and just never seen me (I'm still in the same house) and by pure luck recognised me outside today.

We were chatting for a few minutes and he'd only had a visual memory and a first name to go on. I really couldn't believe it. The guy was so thankful and we aim to keep in touch.

Was called Alan Cooke.

Bloody hell!

 

Did he buy you a beer
Skanky fooooooka just wants his bike back
