    A bit of Hollywood comes to Headley Court ! Today I met --

    Simon Peg and Nick Frost !!*
    Damn fine chaps too, very down to earth and took an interest in what we do at Headley.

    We often get celebs, sports stars, princes, future kings, politicians etc come for a visit to Headley Court.
    Just another day in the prosthetics department :-)*


    Excuse the embryonic tash, I got roped into Movemeber !!! I'm going for the porn star look :shock:

    Certainly can't take cash for anything but if you need advice from either a technician ( me ) or a prosthetist then I'm sure that wold be fine. Are you private or NHS ? BK-AK ? Pm if ya like :)

    That looks fun!

    I thought the third of the Cornetto Trilogy a little disappointing but it's great to see home grown, down to earth (and funny) talent doing well.

    They look a down to earth and decent chaps,

    I did the prosthetic part of my training with Blatchfords many years ago (19) when I was Training to be a Rehabilitation Engineerin the NHS, it was a very intresting and cool placement. They had some clever stuff back then, but a fair few tin legs from the 40s and 50s, I fondly remember working with this great chap who hed lost both of his legs AK in WWW2 in europe, he was a fantastic chap but did not like "all that new fangled legs they do now but its alright for the young one's but not me", I remember him telling me.

    I work in Specialist Custom Seating systems and assistive technology now, but occaisionly share workshops with the prosthetic centres i visit. Good bunch of guys.

    Some very high tech kit now.

    I'm A/K I wear a tech liner, with a custom socket. Total knee, Endolite shock and a Collage Park Foot. It does for work. On the golf course I use a Canadain J-leg in a suction socket. Would love to come and see some of the goodies you can lay your hands on :lol:
