RE: URGENT HELP

hi shaun. nah mate, me head was like a shed anyway. amazing when something like this happens, you find out who really gives a spit and who don't. the story in the derby telegraph was better and our joey even got his piccy in there. i tell you what though, it's no fun jumpin out a top floor window with just a t-shirt and socks on. not a pretty sight either at my age. there were 2 things on the ground i could have landed on. 1 was my spare kettle frame with a waterproof cover on it. the other was a big bag of sawdust. i landed ar*e first on the frame, bounced off that and headbutted the floor. in the time it took me to walk to the bottom of our front steps, our bedroom went bang and blew all the windows out.
ironic things are, our babe's terrapins in his bedroom all survived, even though the glass tank cracked and the wooden cover and lamp burned to nothing. the only place in the house untouched by fire was THE ONE WITH PETROL IN IT, our back room downstairs - where me gt 750 lives we all ok anyway, the dogs are ok, the house like me - gutted.
cheers flower, ade!
PS, MR HENLEY WHERE ARE YOU?
ACU? why not add "nt" to the end, you'll get the idea!

Wrote: cheers malcolm [and shaun], we're allowed back in the house today to see what we can salvage - not much. the things that hurt me are things like my darran lindsay race shirt, all my racing t-shirts from 84 onwards, my autographs and autographed shirts. every one just irreplaceable. we'll get there with the rest of it eventually. the insurance ball is rolling, so hopefully that will be sorted pretty quickly.
i'd just like to say a big, big thank you to the emergency services, the red cross for the emergency clothes and toiletries pack, and all our family and close [and not so close] friends that have gone out of their way to help us. without them we'd be lost. love you all.

RE: URGENT HELP
thanks ian, the good news today is that i found my autograph book. this was in the top drawer of my filing cabinet and while all around is charred, it's just the spine of the book that's damaged. how do you replace autographs from steve henshaw, mez mellor, smutty robinson, mark farmer, bazza sheene, joey dunlop and many more that have been taken from us? so that's been put in the pub safe and hopefully it will stay safe.
cheers, ade.

Whew good news Ade, from what must have been such an upsetting experience. Glad you and your family are all safe and remember nobody can take away your memories.
Got your number still in my mobile, hopefully you will manage to get the same mobile number in your new phone.
love n best wishes,
