The kind of guys that make you check where the exits are. <br /><br />I did make a rather fatherly attempt at a safety lecture in the ambulance, I'm afraid. I hope she does learn from what happened, though. She certainly seemed scared enough. <br /><br />Frank is a composite character of a few people I work with. Yeah - I imagine him as a dependable, ex-forces character, big feet and hands and an old dog way of looking at the world. <br /><br />I'm good, thanks. Off camping soon, so I hope the weather improves.<br /><br />:0) xSpence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-21224827244216492022009-07-15T08:45:34.859+00:002009-07-15T08:45:34.859+00:00Sounds like they were very creepy men.

Will teach her a valuable lesson, I hope (although she didn't intentionally lose her friends).<br /><br />The image I have of Frank in my mind now is a hulking great ex-Forces type with arms like Popeye. One flick of his pinkie and the baddies are done for :D I'm very probably wrong, but he just seems that way when you write about him.<br /><br />Hope you're ok!<br />Liv xxxloveinviennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061067320547283159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-51804580027228034362009-07-13T19:04:17.926+00:002009-07-13T19:04:17.926+00:00Hi KMK - I guess they called a) because they hadn&...Hi KMK - I guess they called a) because they hadn't quite given up on their 40 quid and b) how were they going to get rid of her otherwise? She was certainly lucky it ended as well as it did.<br /><br />Thanks MTW - I often think that a lot of what we do is more social than medical. A kind of specialised removals!<br /><br />Hey PH! I hope they didn't get their 40 quid, too. They were very dodgy geezers. I think you can guess that I didn't take to them...<br /><br />Terrierandy7 - That made me laugh! I often feel like the ambulance equivalent of the keystone cops. Or Laurel and Hardy with a yellow bag. Poking the stethoscope into my eye / squirting the GTN in my face. ;0)Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-83747832295612449052009-07-13T08:43:46.529+00:002009-07-13T08:43:46.529+00:00I can just imagine the next bit, Spence. An epic, ...I can just imagine the next bit, Spence. An epic, comical car chase through the streets at night, your ambulance with Frank at the wheel, not breaking a sweat as he dodges through traffic, with the two gentlemen following close behind in a clapped out escort. And somewhere not far behind them, the local boys 'n' girls in blue, like a scene from the Keystone Cops.<br /><br />Hmmm...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-28504773731089031582009-07-12T19:18:52.295+00:002009-07-12T19:18:52.295+00:00If I was Frank and the guys came and gave the girl...If I was Frank and the guys came and gave the girl hassle, I'd have shown them the full weight of the truck!<br /><br />I do feel sorry for the poor kid. She was stupid for going off with random guys she doesn't even know and for taking drugs, but if she hadn't crashed out and they hadn't called an ambulance, who knows what they'd have done? And to think they only gave a damn because she owed them £40! I hope they never got it back.petrolheadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-37776574564895047612009-07-12T18:51:08.529+00:002009-07-12T18:51:08.529+00:00That post should be titled: "My hero!"
