News...

****************************************
Ozzy 'stable' after night in intensive care.

Doctors say Ozzy Osbourne is in a stable condition after breaking eight ribs, his collarbone and a vertebra in his neck in a quad bike accident.

He was taken to Wexham Park Hospital in Slough on Monday after the accident at his Buckinghamshire estate.

The hospital's medical director, Dr Dick Jack, said the singer had spent the night in intensive care after emergency surgery which restored the blood flow to a blood vessel damaged in the accident.

Dr Jack said that the fractured vertebra was "entirely stable" and added that blood supply to his left hand and arm, which had been impeded by the damage to the blood vessel, had been restored.

He was unable to confirm whether other members of the Osbourne family are expected at the hospital.

Too true Foz. Mind you, this report is a tad more accurate than today's Sun. They said poor old Ozzy* broke his neck. According to the latest BBC Radio 2 news reports he's still in intensive care. His wife flew over from the US to be with him.

*PS. That's Ozzy Osbourne - not our esteemed moderator chappie. Mind you, nothing would surprise me with the daft things he gets up to. Shocked

That's right Hagar...!
I keep trying to change his ways, and encourage him to fly little Cessna 152's instead of those dangerous "Spitfire things" he insists on wooshing around on... Cry

He won't listen to me, and it will all end in tears, I know... Roll Eyes

LOL...!

Cheers... Grin

I've just seen this news in the Guardian online, and I was shocked to hear this had happened to John.
I do know 'the other Ozzy' as he lives just down the road from my mum, and he's a v.nice chap. I hope he'll make a full recovery soon, the Guardian article seemed v.positive, and they hope to get him off the resperator shortly.

Ozzy (not of Black Sabbath fame)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Well, I suppose that's quite bad enough but I was thinking of his escapades in the real world. Things like hanging by the fingernails from icy ledges halfway up bleedin' great mountains & buzzin' around in Russian-built helicopters - dangerous things they are & you can chop the tail rotor off with the main one if you're not careful. Messy business that is. To cap it all he goes happily leaping out of perfectly good aeroplanes with a serviceable engine & all major parts attached. That the parts of the aeroplane, not his parts you understand. I have no knowledge of those matters & don't wish to know. Shocked

It will all end in tears, you mark my words. Tongue

Which neatly brings us back on topic. Wink

All I can say is that some people have very strange ideas of fun. I find life quite dangerous enough without tempting fate. Shocked
