Happy St Patricks Day a Nice touch from a nearly lost friend

[DrFarkoff]

My friend Pat Mansfield from Dublin was knocked off his bike in Kimmage

2 years ago nearly to the day! 20th March 2008

He hit his head on the road after a car turned across him and dumped him off (Illegal right turn) and his helmet came off

He was very seriously ill and we didn't know if he was going to make it!

But thanks to the staff of James Hospital and Beaumont Hospital in Dublin and the care and attention of Fran and his Family He has survived and continues to improve albeit Slowly

He has memory loss and his speach is garbled but he and his wife Fran have a great understanding

She sent me a St Patricks Day wish in Irish and my thoughts are with them

I recieved a message from Fran His wife in Irish (obviously and English cos I can;t spake it) for the Day

Beannachtai na Feile Padraig ort. Happy St Patricks Day?


Cá mbeidh tú ag fliuchadh na seamróige?


Phonetically "Ka may two ig fluck-ooh na sham-roge-ah?" Where will you be wetting the shamrock?

So Folks If You Raise your Glass to St Patrick send a thought of Good Health to My Friend Sir "Pat" and any folks that aren't just up to scratch at the minute

have a Good Peaceful and safe day Friends

Ah what a day. Brought the kids to the parade and then back to the bar in the Castleknock hotel for a few Buideals. To my surprise the wife offered to take the kids home while I stayed on with the mates for a few more, only for the kids to turn around and refuse to go as to were enjoying themselves too much

Anyway, top day. All I need now is aspin on the aul Rothar.

I remember reading about Pat here at the time Jay and it's good to read that he continues to make progress, albeit slowly.
