i probably wont shut up about it if it arrives, it'll be nice to have some mobility back and some independence.

The price seems much too good to be true. I'd be interested in seeing your review.

Transformer, e fest in disguise.  Sorry, First thing I thought when I saw the name of it.  Seriously it will be of great benefit physically and mentally to get that degree of independence.

think its called the transformer cos it folds up and unfolds with the touch of a remote control button.

glasto supplies mobility scooters  to attendees using its accessibility scheme it'll be interesting to see how well that works it'll have to work well for me to have an enjoyable festival.

some good stuff in  there that should definately help .... access to the viewing platforms and toilets should make quite a difference to .... hopefully it should make the festival fun still

Probably too late for Neil but a number of websites are reporting Alanna9 as a possible scam. Really interested to see what turns up next week.

at those cheap prices i always thought it might be a scam, which is why i used paypal, you don't get a grands worth of mobility scooter for twenty quid, still hoping irt might come good. its also being reported as potentially legit.

Hope all is well with you Neil

tracking now says... which means that royal mail has a parcel with my name on that might be this cheap scooter, talking of cheap scooters, i've been having a lovely one advertised at me, for eighty quid must be worth hundreds, the wife would kill me if i ordered it (even to sell on), but its been hard to resist.

Estimated date of arrival at the post office

04 Nov 2021 - 10 Nov 2021, 4 - 10 days remaining

The forecast is not 100% certain, and is based on 41 packages delivered in the last 60 days

somewhen soon, wife permitting, there will be an efestivals cat, the wife agreed to a cat when i was in hospital, but i'm still waiting.... in anticipation and to fill my mycat-less  life, i've started reading the cats reddit and think i'm addicted to cat, there'll be cat pics galore here when cat happens, i'm gonna get cat a GPS and cat camera, and plan to make her a you-tube sensation.

can you tell i'm bored waiting for cat: wife says husband is all she can cope with at the moment. a cat as well would be too much.

anyone want to adopt man and cat open to offers... -P

Apparently there are lots of kittens around at moment as kitten season seems to have gone on longer than usual. If you get a kitten best to get 2 together. 
meanwhile here if a pic of my 2 girls

Standard Issue Cats, those are but lovely.

reckon we can source a cat or kitten, i need to source a cat friendly wife first, she's just reminded me that i've banned people in the past for cat pictures. how times change.

[Neil]

just filling in a blank from last year, i've said i've been unwell, and in hospital, but haven't said what happened, so time fror a reveal: i had a massive stroke: i lost movement in my left arm and leg, movement is back in my leg, but not normal i use a wheelchair and/or a stick,  the wife was told i'd lost my sight in my left eye, thankfully that didn't happen.

i'm on my way to a full recovery but life's a struggle when i need assistance to do lots of normal things. such as getting dressed.

doing glastonbury is going to be difficult but i'll try. 🙂 

[fred quimby]

Oh man, that is proper scary stuff Neil. So glad you are still with us, as I know how these things can go.

All the best on the road to recovery, not always an easy road but I am sure you will get there.

I will watch out for you at Black Uhuru to join the mobility scooter skank and share a beer.

Bug love to your wife (forgot the forum name sorry)

[Crazyfool01]

Big love to you Neil and much credit for getting the forums back online , as im sure you are fully aware you have a forum behind you and lots of help offered , absolutely fingers crossed 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

@eFestivalsI can't imagine how difficult the past year has been for you, and for what it's worth, I know I speak for everyone when I wish you all the best for as full a recovery as possible. We've only briefly met a few times at the Glastonbury gatherings but you don't strike me as being that old to suffer such a terrible misfortune. Quite a sobering thought for someone approaching middle-age, myself. Life seems to constantly remind us of our fragility and much of what we place importance on, is actually pretty insignificant compared to the things that really matter.

Despite the obvious difficulties you've faced, to get the website back up and running is nothing short of miraculous and greatly appreciated. You've created a great little community here over the years, one that thanks you for your efforts and wishes you and your partner all the best in your continued recovery.

I remember turning 42 and  a chap where I worked pipped up and said "oh you are now in the age bracket to have a stroke" cheery chap. He had recently had one.

 

Time for an old joke I guess.

2 Nuns sat on a bench when a naked man walks past.

One had a stroke

The other couldn't quite reach

Lots of love Neil. Lots and lots of accessibility teams will look out for you. xx
