Chris HaylesGenital folk, I know that some of you, like me. attend several Chapels. If any of you know Chris and Caroline Hayles, domiciled in Eastleigh, from the MANY websites that they either run or participate in then you may like (a wrong term but I dithered) to know that Chris has just had one of his legs partially amputated and Caroline is recovering from a fall which left her with broken ribs.
If you know them and would like updates please contact either myself or Marlene and Gyppo, who I know are their friends

Mike, they are not far from me. Is there anything I can do?
I don't know if I know them but that isn't important

Chris HaylesPaul, many thanks for the offer but I don't think there is ow't at the mo. Chris, before his operation was in remarkably good spirits and joking about what was to come. He is a little more repressed now and finding it difficult to reconcile that he has lost half of his leg, whilst he can still feel it. His main worry, however, was how Caroline, his lovely wife, would be, as she was feeling guilty at having called the ambulance, which thankfully she did and was also recovering from a fall which left her with some broken ribs.
I think she needed a womans touch and hopefully Andrea Wiestra and Janet Coutts from the Royal Signal Yahoo site and our Marlene can pull her round.
If you live close enough to visit may I suggest you put Chris Hayles into your search engine and check him out. He has many sites and many interests apart from the Royal Signals and is a local historian, dialectician and an amateur geneaologist of note. I think you could have a lot in common. If you feel that you could, contact me at my home email and I will give you his address

Hi Mike,so sorry to hear of the bad news of Chris and his wife,lets hope that they both have some sort of speedy recovery,for all i have never met Chris i have read some of his enteries on various sites and all are very interesting,in one article he refer,s to his time in Cyprus with 216 Signal Sqd,he refer,s to his O.C. as a Captain Brian Turner,i was just wondering if this is the same Gentleman that we had in Langeleben as W.O.2 S.S.M. a reall tall Guy(6ft +++) and as i said a reall Gentleman and worthy of a commission,perhaps when Chris starts to feel well enough i wonder if you could ask him about Brian Turner,best regards from Ken

My Wife caused me some concern the other day when she said she 'couldn't find her whips'. This was a side of her I had not previously come across and a deviation that I had still to take up. One of the few untried left!
I was somewhat relieved - yet disappointed - when she made it clear that they went with her collection of spinning tops

Just to lower the tone even more (well I am your NAAFI girl so I am allowed now and then), this talk of whips reminded me of the one and only naughty knicker party I had. Most of the girls were young nurses and friends of my daughter in law who is also a nurse. I thought I had better invite someone older as well as poor old Clive was in and out. So I invited my dear old friend Lil who is 10 years older than me. So there was me, Lil and half a ward of nurses in our living room. Things got passed round for us to feel and put on our noses, then along came this 'stressbuster' a jelly like man bits which we all had a pull about with. It came to Lil's turn and she pulled it every which way and twang...it flew up to the ceiling and dangled there by the two veg. We all threw things at it and it wouldn't come down. I thought this won't go well for the next church magazine meeting at ours...anyway the hostess pulled out a long black whip and Lil stood there as we all watched while she whipped it long and hard (I think she must have done it before as she was a dab hand) and it flew across the room right into my daughter in laws wine glass.
We did have a laugh!
She sold a few stress busters that night
Clive had a good night though I think with all those outfits the girls tried on so a good time was had by all.

Chris HaylesIn Harlow town there lives a lass,
A comely wench but Randy,
When Clive went out the girls went in,
To play with 'owt t'was handy.
The knickers went, perhaps a botch
When they got the home there was no crotch.
What they revealed was downright rude,
All I can say it left them lewd.
But come the bras, scarecly a ripple,
The moths holes in them revealed a n....e.
And then they looked at toys, so silly,
A jelly shaped just like a w...y
A cucumber, not coloured green
And where it went, t'was never seen.
Then trying it, it just made you swear,
The batteries were left elsewhere.

Swiftly bringing the post back to Chris. He is in good spirits and being Chris, his sense of humour is prevailing. A mutual signals friend heard from him and had this to say
"He said it was the support fom all of us on all the signals sites, poeple who have never met each other, this is the true comradeship that binds us together, although I have never met Chris or Caroline I feel he is part of a close family..as he is in home territory for me I will try and visit him when I am down there next... Chris says a big thank you to all who have sent wishes to him and Caroline....we will keep them both in our prayers and thoughts."

Chris HaylesChris is in remarkable spirits, considering all that he and Caroline have gone through. I have spoken to him a couple of times since his operation and HAVE to admire his strength of character. He is complaining that his favourite little nurse now takes a couple of minutes less to give him a blanket bath and admits he does not have a leg to stand on.
For those of you who do not know Chris, just put Chris Hayles in your search engine. He is not the singer but he is worth a look as well but has many R Sigs websites as well as Hampshire ones. He is an excellent local historian and one of the most GENUINE people you could wish to meet

Chris HaylesMarlene, O Harlow Hottie, I did keep a breast of the situation and did as requested but only having a 48 hour pass got picked up by the whatnots for loitering with in tent. I tried to point out that this was not the Gobby (225 Scharf will know this) Desert and I was not in a tent. HELP, I am currently in St Jimmys Horsepiddle for the Mentally Bewildered and want me Teddy. If you can't find it the fishnets and Blue Basque will do.
Pharticus Incontinentus and in Flood mode
Incidentally Chris is either a very good actor, including voice modulations, or in excellent health, considering. He is as jovial as ever and has changed his favourite record to 'Danny and The Juniourls' 'At The Hop' What a guy, I hate to think what state I would be in.

Re: Chris HaylesHi Mike
he is an amazing man isn't he and Caroline as well. Len (Payne) spoke to him on Friday night and Chris has got an infection in his knee which they are treating but he is still in good spirits. I hope the infection in his knee clears quickly and easily. That happened to my Uncle and he had his leg removed too. He had a revolutionary new treatment about 8 years ago involving the use of maggots as treatment. They filmed it and it was shown on TV. Not easy to watch though.

Another message from Len Payne:
I have just had a telephone message from Caroline that Chris is to have another operation on his leg to remove a few more inches. She does not know when this will be done.It was obvious that she was phoning from the Hospital. She asked me to let you all know,
It seemed to me that the infection on his stump has caused problems with the healing,and obviously more has to be amputated to counteract this problem.I know that all our thoughts and prayers are with Chris and Caroline at this very tense time for his well being.

Chris is having his second op today, 11 Feb.
From: Clive Coutts <couttsclive@...> Date: February 10, 2008 3:14:28 AM PST (CA)
Caroline has just phoned me to tell me and you all that Chris will be having another major operation tomorrow. They are going to remove the whole leg now, So from below the knee to nothing at all. She has been getting a lot of phone calls which she hope's will now stop, as Chris wants me to keep you all informed of his condition, I will do this so I hope you don't think that I am putting anybodys nose out of joint, She has enough on her plate to worry about. I will ring her daily to update you all daily on whats going on with him. All we can do is think about him tomorrow and I will update you tomorrow when I have rang her myself. So i'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but somebody has to do it and he's chosen me to keep you up to date. OK.
Clive.

Chris HaylesMarlene and others that care, I spoke to Chris over the weekend and can totally dispel any fears that he blames Caroline for his present situation. If the truth be told, if she had not done as she did we would probably be mourning the loss of a Good Man, not wishing him (and Caroline) a speedy recovery.
What I would say is that if any of those who know him, wish to contact him then leave it until next Tuesday on but then only on his mobile. What He and Carloline, do not want is a plethora of calls to his home number. Caroline has enough to cope with, without having to be a call centre for Chrissolus.
At close of play, when I last spoke, he was remarkably up-beat and joking about things. What he could not disguise, however, was the underlying fact that he was a little perturbed and hoped that this operation would be the end to a traumatic period, as do we all!
Just say a quiet prayer, it will be heard if you believe and equally if you don't, like me, it WILL STILL BE HEARD.

Chris HaylesGenitals, I have had a long chat with Chris today, who is now domiciled back in his home in Eastleigh. Considering that he has has two operations, like a butcher taking the weekend joints from one of his legs, his description, he is remarkably upbeat.
He is still suffering pain but unfortunately this is a symptom that cannot be dealt with. He has, however, learnt to live with it, as well as as anyone can. I think it will be called the ' Gritted Teeth' syndrome in polite circles, otherwise known as the ............
What he is worried about is that he has now started to get Gangrene in the toes on his his other foot, which is how it all started in the first place and to show the strength of his character, in his words, 'I don't want to be a low down bum'.
If any of you are seriously looking, not the normal 'Voyeurs' and would like to either send him a 'Get Well e-mail' or a quick call to bolster his ego, then just e-mail either myself on awe-fresol@tiscali.co.uk or Marlene on, marleneandclive@hotmail.com and we will give you the relevant information.
