      Welcome back Nick. We were worried about you. Sounds like a real nightmare, but glad you and your mate are ok.

        Welcome back Nick - so pleased you are OK!

        Sounds like you have had a hell of a time, but the truth came out in the end at least which is all that matters - I sincerely hope your employer has undertaken a stricter maintenance regime to prevent future failures? Bit silly if they haven't given that this particular accident has cost them £55k plus.

        Anyway, you are back where you belong mate - and remember, we are all here to lend an ear if ever you need it (you are more than welcome to bend my cyber-ear via PM or email anytime if you are having a bit of a 'mare mate) - - a problem shared is a problem halved!

            Welcome back Folly Mon, it hasn't been the same without your entertaining posts and your special brand of humour.

            Glad it all came good in the end mate. :dbgrtmb:

                        What a horrible experience. Working away at your job as normal, taking all your usual care and an equipment failure causes an accident and all the stress you've had as a result.
                        The college course sounds great and will do you good and it sounds like you've impressed your tutor.
                        Take it easy with the pills - they can be addictive and some can have rather nasty side effects.
                        Given the fact that the accident has now been shown to be to due to nothing you did wrong and was due to faulty machinery, you may possibly have if you want to pursue it, a claim against your employer for the personal injury you have been subject to.
                        Anyway - great to see you back and know that things are now on the up for you :blue thumb:

                          So you thought you'd got away from us Nick......no chance! :heehee:

                          I'm sorry to hear you've had a rough time, hopefully you'll be able to get back on an even keel now your work issues are settled. You're a tough one Nick and seem to bounce back from anything, keep bouncing! Good to have you back with us. :dbgrtmb:

                            Hiyah, Nick,

                            What a horrible ordeal you've been through! :sad:

                            Now you've come out the other side I hope that everything goes well. It'll take a while but you have all your friends on here supporting you. :dbgrtmb:

                            Mrs Shiney wishes you better and a number of people here have been asking after you. Especially Izzy (head massage) and Yvette (tea and cakes).

                            God Bless. :)
