    What's the best treatment for Diver?

    Given Diver's rather horrific hand injury, he is concerned his drivelling will be criticised because of poor typing skills (since he is now effectively one-handed for six weeks).

    Should we take pity on him? Or give him a hard time like his Missus does?

    Should we give him some latitude for difficulty he has in typing one handed with no punctuation, grammar or capitals like Milan does? Or make him endure the agony of typing properly and re-opening his wound many times a day?

    You choose. Commas and CAPS or painless pandering?

    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

    Get some simply speaking software off bit torrent.

    I just want to imagine Diver shouting at the screen.... "SPANK".

          Chopping up old timbers on the big power saw on friday, and a nail in the timber caught my glove and dragged my left hand into the saw blade.

          Sawed through the back of my hand. cut through the index finger bone, thumb and middle finger bones. severed the tendons for the index, middle and the next finger. nicked half through the thumb tendon and vein, and stripped the skin from the back of my hand.
          they flew me up to Morriston hospital in Swansea to the plastic surgery unit.
          those wonderful surgeons managed to save my hand and all my fingers.
          they sent me home this morning because I wouldn't stay in bed anyway.
          in plaster now up to the elbow, and will be for the next six weeks.

                    That said - we expect no reduction in your post count - that would be slacking.
