A great boxer who made more money out of his grill's and his church than he ever did out of his boxing career.

Re: George
Hi Mo
How's this for a week, on Tue I fell in the kitchen like, as I and later said to my wife I felt like I'd been hit by George Foreman, left arm bruised from elbow to wrist, cheek bone I thought was broken just a big bruise, and fourteen bruises on knees legs and arms. And then came the news of George 's passing Sad.

Re: George
You’ll have to learn to roll with the punches Des , my first fall = broken hip, second fall = 3 broken ribs. The next couple had the sense to look for somewhere softer to land. What annoys me is the ref doesn’t count to give you 10 seconds to put your senses together there usually some good intentioned person trying to put you on your feet and making matters worse, it’s so comfortable down there. Keep going for that century . Cheers JS

Re: George
#6 Remember one time in Norway were discharging Rig anchor chain ashore which was all flaked out on our deck. The seaman driving the tugger winch suddenly disappeared , went over to see where he was and was collapsed behind the winch handle dragged him out made sure his airway was clear that is the one in his head and could only do this by holding a spoon on his tongue as had a tendency to swallow it. Fortuanetly was in port alongside so an ambulance was soon in coming. However his complaint was he had the DTs I was informed so he stayed in hospital and repatriated later. JS
