G,day.I am stuck the Royal Melb Hospital for the last couple of days waiting for a swelling in my throat to go down so they can operate.However I have just found out that because  I am on blood thinners cause of my dodgy ticker they are sending me home for 10 days to wait till my blood thickens up due to the nature of the operation. But in the last 2 days I have been picked up in a wheelchair and taken for various tests ,MRI,CT etc . So when  you arrive at your destination you get "parked " in the stretcher area or in a semi circle with the wheelchair mob dependant on your mode of transport. Now bear in mind that you perhaps don,t look your best that is to say that me for instance ,not owning pyjamas since I was 12 ,I was in a pair of daggy old gym shorts and my favorite old T shirt with "old guys rule " emblazoned  across it. Well, I am sure you have all been there  or you now have a mental picture of the scene I am looking at right ! Now being a part time nomad I said good morning to all in attendance I further made the comment that we all look like we are a mob of caravaners about to have our Happy hour we are just missing a beverage of choice and a nice piece of brie or smoked salmon. A voice from the far end said "bloody clothes wouldn,t go astray either " ! Well ...... that was the ice breaker ! I think were perhaps 9 folk in total and everyone started laughing ! It was about 6-7 mins before the first of us got  wheeled of ,but the chatter was full on, in fact as one left another came and joined in. Er .. kinda sounds familiar doesn,t It !! Cheers John
