Chat with a stranger at the DGH Eastbourne today. 19:57 - Jun 27 with 3589 viewstommyg01

Whilst sitting waiting for my wife to return to her seat (after having her blood tests) in the waiting room in the DGH, Eastbourne today, an old boy wandered over and sat in her seat. After a few minutes he started talking to me about the NHS etc and finally got to why he was in the hospital today. He was meant to be seeing a consultant to discuss having a nose operation, which he felt was unnecessary as he knew he only had bad sinus problems.

Then we got to the interesting bit (what do you mean, thank god for that!!). When his GP had asked him how long he had these sinus problems he said "around 25 years doc" and what do you think caused this to start then? the GP asked. "I know exactly when it started doc" he said, "when I went up for the corner and I got a wack on the nose from the Queens Park Rangers defender". That's when I stopped nodding and only half listening and said "who did you play for then?" It turns out he was playing for Dulwich Hamlets fc against us at Loftus rd in a cup game. Unfortunately the wife re-appeared then and he got called, so that was the end of the conversation.

When I got home and tried to find out more about this fixture, I could find no mention of it. I suppose it's a tale he tell's every stranger. What a shame.

But youth team? Wouldn't particularly make him an "old boy".

Well done PlumsteadQPR.

London Challenge Cup

1949/50: QPR 2 Dulwich Hamlet 1

This must be the game he was talking about then, so he must be in his mid 80's at least. I forgot to say I asked him the score, hoping we didn't lose and he said it was a close game and we won 2-1.

I'm glad he hadn't made it all up. Thanks guys.

That means its taken him 62 years to get his sinus problem sorted!

Jeez, i didnt realise the waiting time on the NH lists were that bad.

Technology advances, unfortunately humans do not.
