If you want to hear someone young with an accent a bit like Dave's: Accent Tag (by a British Northerner!) - YouTube

or for more trad:
A Bit Of A Woof Day. - YouTube

Good golly !!..I never knew you could hear all of those accents on Youtube..it's been fun exploring them..thanks for the links.

All things considered I think Dave is a fortunate fella to have friends as yourselves.

Dave has just texted an update on what's happening with him...

WiFi down again. Can you put my new room info on the site & US forums.

Mercy Hospital
7th Floor
Room # 7107
Bed # 2

tele: 001 417 820 7000.

Thanks.

So he's still alive! Was getting worried. Heard nothing for a few days.

Still trying to find out how long until he can fly, last I heard it was going to be two-three weeks. Also trying to find out how he's getting on with the insurance companies.

Im about 30 minutes from Springfield Mo and I work for Mercy. Is there anything he needs? I could drive him to the airport atleast.

Terrific ....very nice of you to offer.

What with the spotty internet connection his brit friends have with him perhaps you could stop by or phone him with that offer.

Not sure. I'd quite like to know what his plans are to pass on to others. So if you do pop and see him (think he'd just like the company) then if you can find out any more info then I'd appreciate it.

No problem, it may take me a couple days to get up that way but ill get there.

Visited Dave tonight and he said he's here until next weekend at least. He is getting around a lot better still has tender ribs though. He has his own room and hospital food doesn't get much better than that.

Thanks!
