50/14 Paul Roantree

i've been away from the forum for ages and to come back and see this :(
i remember when i first met ya and you did a front flip trying to get up a curb on an easts ride!
hope u come through strong!

Ha! I was thinking about that, we need to get him moved to a single room ;)
i thought you were about to offer your services mike?!?

God - only just caught up with this. What terrible news.

Good luck Paul. Heal well and keep strong.

Remember all, this is the Man who rode to Milton Keens then from there to Stonehenge in a 160mile all day and all night ride, with a broken hip! Stay Strong you stuborn old bastard!

god yeah, pretty much 20 hours on his bike, then getting lost about 5 miles from the end. us lot falling asleep and fiddy still riding around the old Army land on his tod. before making it back to the house, having a cup of tea, eating an entire battenburg cake he carried the whole day then passing out in the middle of the floor.
It makes me chuckle every time..

And boy can he snore!!
Feel sorry for the other folk on the ward...

Just thinking logistics and how it might be received... how about one from each drinks?

exactly what I was thinking.

Could lead to epic numbers of grand slams as people try to sign every card.

can we book him a sexy nurse stripper?

^ Good call...

cool, I'll dust down the uniform.

you still got your mankini?
nah, but i've jot a jar of nutella you could use as edible body paint.

sing? (shurely you mean sign -ed)

Only just saw this. Very sorry to hear you're unwell Paul.

Only met the man a handful of times but he made me laugh every time I did. Last time at Bright Times 4 he was obvioulsy bored by a conversation I was having with Pajamas and butted in: "Anyway, enough of that, I want to talk about meeeee!"

Haha! Best wishes fella.

Al.

This is a genius quote, reminiscent of Partridge!

Hey Paul - Scantily clad ladies and glossy motorbikes coming to you... just for a change x

I'm going to be popping over tomorrow evening around 7ish if anyone cares to join me

^ lovely drawing by matt.

Paul - MOJ said to remind you that we all agreed to go ride around Lake Ontario this summer so you best get ahold of the cancer and tell it to chill out, we got a lake to conquer.

Damn straight Fiddy, I want to do another Dunwich with you next year!
I'll never forget you cruising past me as I struggled up hills, always filled me with a HTFU attitude!

I'm going to pop in next week with some home baked goodies

I saw Paul earlier today. He was in good spirits (not that discovering this is in any way unusual). He's concentrating on getting his energy back. Another friend and former neighbour of his came to visit, as well. He's hoping to be out before Christmas. Let's wish him all the best. It was good to see him.

only just heard. please get well fella and if you need any tasty snacks smuggled in let me know.

and listen to the nurse , less cigs and more food :-)

coppiThat

A truly beautiful and sincere man that ever I have had the pleasure of knowing.

Afternoon drinking in The Pony together during the summertime; annoying people with our bikes in the way of the seating and then later having the closet fixie-skidders coming to us and ALWAYS asking about HIS bikes! Git.

Riding to Norths, Dunwich, Brighton, Richmond Park, Surrey Hills, Camberly, pub crawling all the way in full lycra smoking heavily at every stop, getting dodgy looks from people. Yet always having people coming over to talk to us about HIS bike always piss.... erm, made me feel very happy.

One of the people I've known in my life that I can call a true friend, never wanting anything from me but always there to give and be relied upon. Always there with a pint to offer and an ear to lend in times of need.

I love you buddy.

pub crawling all the way in full lycra smoking heavily at every stop

haha, that's the fidster. 100mile road ride = jeans. London pub crawl = full lycra.

Get well soon Fiddy!

Just heard now... this is really upsetting news...
I wish you get better soon Paul, en pensant bien a toi en attendant de venir te voir!!

A bientot!

Loic

haha, that's the fidster. 100mile road ride = jeans. London pub crawl = full lycra.

this is SO true. hahhahaaa ohh fiddy.

I'm planning to pop up on Saturday, Fiddy... Late morning, early/late afternoon, whatever's good for you... Put me on the list, save me a nurse... Can bring treats/movies/whatever you want... Brilliant to hear you're in good spirits... x
