man wakes up after 20 years in a coma
 

i did not know where to post it so choose here

the man now aged 39 years old is still stuck in the past he was 19 years old when he had a serious car crash and went in to a coma he has a daughter he is confused at what is going on around him all the computers technologys that surround him

the new consoles such as the ps2 and xboxs we all know will be a huge shock to this man as he only knows what technologys were back in the 1980's when pacman was introduced

quite interesting yet a bit shocking too

Blimey that is a shocker, fancy having to explain the last 20 yrs to someone who was out driving one day and next thing they wake up in a hospital bed 20yrs on. Scarey thought. Quite the miracle though.

want to go to sleep for 20 years myself.

Maybe things will be better then.

ANd maybe Dr Plummer will stop spoiling my fun :(

nah already got Kronas and cjll and Andre in there.

sorry

that is quite amazing really! imagine if you woke up in 20 years time thinking ther world was still what it is like today! :eek:

WOW he wasn't waiting to get through to NTL was he :D

Sorry I couldn't resist it

"Hi, we notice from our records that you haven't paid 20 years of council tax,"

or maybe " We notice that several of your library books are overdue"

I think we should all wish him well in his recovery, it must be a shock though waking up after 20 years, mind you at least the pop stars have got a little bit better.

You really think that. He'll be back to sleep when he hear's them

eh? Is there something we should know: :naughty: :D

Seriously, Everything must be a bit of a shock. In terms of computers, I was using a Commodore 64 round about then. Today, I am typing this on a PC that is (in theory) 1,700 times faster and has 4,194,304 times the memory. Yep I am typing this on a 1.7GHz P4 with 256 Meg Ram.

Anyway, I wish him well in his recovery. Hope he can deal with the changes without requiring too much counselling...

Just a quick thought. Imagine if he got home and found twenty years of papers on the front doorstep...

20 years in a coma? Are they sure he didn't just fall asleep listening to Radiohead or REM?

Or Travis

Only if you must. Can a girl not have any secrets these days :(

I didn't even have a computer then.

Mind you I did have one of those game things where you pressed the colours in a sequence to move to the next level.

I was only 4 or 5 at the time tho ;)

Yeah me too. poor guy must be well confused. :confused:

:disturbd: :disturbd:

He'd have woken up suicidal...

Now that would have been a wierd feeling

well i decided to post this as it was wierd

i wonder whats going to happen to him i mean hes going to 'freak out' wont he ?

I would well freak if it was me.

yeah and hes going to have to get used to the new types of music around computers everyday items me and you use will be alien like to him :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

everyday items.

let me think.

I had a tin opener in the 80's and a stereo and a games machine (atari 2600 - the best ever!!!!) and a coffee machine

not much has changed really :)

i was talking about the advancements technology has made on improving items :)

also i doubt you were getting ps2 and xbox style graphics then :p

Ok so the graphic quality was slighty different but I could play the games.

These days they are just too high tech for me :(

oi nowt wrong with REM or Radiohead thank you very much. I'd love to see a documentary on this bloke in about 2 month time to see how he got on.

someone needs a personal tutorial me thinks ;) :naughty: :naughty:

this is what i was trying to say things are 'techy' these days compaired to back then

How quick can you get to Bolton then :naughty:

lame groups :D :D :D

yeah i wonder if the bbc or someone will do it :shrug:

damn too far :( :( :(

Come on it isn't really. Your only near huddersfield and that is only near oldham and I can get to oldham in 30 mins.

Lame excuse if you ask me.

They're not lame, just.....good at inducing a heavy sleep-like state :)

Apparently this guy isn't interested in finding out what he's missed in world affairs :)

lol how would i get that there i dont know the transport system that well

*wants to get back on topic :)

20 years worth of world events is a lot to catch up on tho.

I cant keep up and I have been around for them

I am back on topic.

If you want to be off topic too then come and find me elsewhere.

if your talking about rem and that yes they are lame grow up russ :p

yeah i read that bit he thought regan was still president :eek:

REM the coolest band ever - they sell more album than ur lil girl ever will :) hell man even Britney ahead lol

He'll have aged himself to!! Fancy waking up and your 39, now that would be a shocker. People have died in your family etc. Friends he once new well would maybe, be married and have children. The whole thing must be very weird.

Kronas, just think. Avril wasn't even alive when he had the crash...

Actually, if you are 17, neither were you...

So there's no point in telling him about the cap then :D

Very good point there scastle.

I wasn't even at primary school then :eek:

I was at secondary school then (2nd Year). God I feel old...

at least you were at school and not at college or even worse working :eek: ;)

Simon?

Merlin was the red phone shaped one.

That's what it was called :D

Still got my rubiks cube :disturbd:

Hee hee me too.:) Seems like only yesterday when I think back but a lot has happened since then.:)

well he has spoken out for the first time at first he started with basic phrases 'mom' 'pepsi' he is now able to string sentences though he still thinks ronald regan is still president of the USA

another wierd thing was the accident took place on friday the 13th and he started talking 19 years later on friday the 13th :eek:

Wow thats just weird!! The other thing thats funny is basic words and Pepsi is one of them!! Would be interesting documentary.

Woiuld that be pepsi, diet pepsi, pepsi lemon, or pepsi blue, or caffeine free pepsi?

The fella is going to be a dilema isn't he!! I must admit to being quite fascinated by this story.:) It would make a good documentary after all the stuff they call documentarys now!!

good spin on this story is found here.... :)

That's an evil twist on a truly sad and tear-jerking true story :eek:

But very very funny :D :D :p

Good how people come up with these stories.:) Very funny though:p

you should read their coverage of the twin towers, the washington sniper and the shuttle explosion......tastless? oh my word, funny? outta this world :D:D

Sadly, I believe that Ronald Reagan is no longer aware that he ever was the President of the USA.

Yes I heard that too, he always seemed to struggle and fumble for words, bit like George Bush now.:D :p

Alzheimer's, I believe (Reagan, that is).

to be honest, Reagan never seemed especially aware he was president of the US WHILE he was president of the US...
