    My thoughts/regards/raised glass go to all the injured, their families and the staff at Selly Oak.
    I agree - if we can still produce men like this, from some of the most deprived areas as well, then there is still hope for us.

    Mrs Baiter must be cutting onions up somewhere in the house.

    A lot of dust in the room tonight…


    I've had both knees and a hip replaced after an accident, but I don't think I could be as upbeat as those blokes are having actually lost their legs.

    Brings it home how the families are affected , too. Everyone in the programme's feckin inspiring and it's good to know the public are getting the stories. This is what it's like.
