WhackyWill Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Schumacher still at Grenoble Hospital Michael Schumacher is still at the hospital in Grenoble, the major German newspaper Bild reports. It is now more than a month since the F1 legend's manager Sabine Kehm announced that the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver is showing "moments of consciousness and awakening" amid his long coma. Not long after the early April announcement, Kehm said Schumacher, 45, would move "into a rehab clinic" as soon as it was possible. "Bild's information is that Schumacher has not yet moved to a rehab clinic," the newspaper reported. "Sabine Kehm only wants to make new statements when there are significant changes," Bild added.

So nothing new then?! :scare: On a serious note, I still hope for the best but the longer we hear nothing from those that matter (family, hospital, doctors who are actually treating him) the less hopeful I get Edited May 12, 2014 by Fodder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't see the point of posting any links here unless the source is direct from the family, hospital or doctors treating him and verified. The rest could well be got from listening to to a drunk several tables over in a bar that one of the aforementioned sources could well have visited at some point in the past Edited May 12, 2014 by Fodder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The report I posted on here today was dated 11th May. It did not come from a drunk serving tables, or from a bar. I will take it you are not a Michael fan or indeed a fan of F1..!! :scare: .

BulletMagnet Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Well, will is just a hardcore fan, it's ok. It's like at work most support a football club or another, goes completely over my head. This explains it best: Firstly, imagine every time within a day that football is mentioned by someone else. Secondly, replace it with something that you don't want to hear about every day. Say... Archaeology. Then, think about how an average day would pan out. So, you awaken to the clock radio. It's 7AM. Just as you awaken, it's time for the news and archaeology already. Not news and other historical investigations, like library restorations or museum openings (unless there's another event happening), but just the news and archaelogy. Malaysian plane is still missing. Pistorius is still on trial. New dig announced in Giza. Ancient Mayan temple discovered. Exciting stuff. Time for a bite to eat over the morning TV. More news. More archaeology. Yes, you are aware of what is up with the missing plane. Fine. Now the archaeology in video format. Video of people dusting off some skulls and bits of pottery. All well and good, but archaeology isn't your thing. It would be nice to hear about something else. Even when it isn't archaeology season, the media follow noted archaeologists. They drive fast cars, have sex with beautiful women, advertise fragrances, and sometimes they go to nightclubs and act in the worst possible way. Scandals erupt as the tabloids follow these new celebrities when they're not searching the past for answers. It is entirely possible you can recite the names of certain researchers, even if you don't pay attention to archaeology. You don't know what transfer season is, but you know that someone was transferred to a dig in Peru for a sum of money that could fund the London Underground for two whole days. Out of the car at 8:55 and into work. What are the colleagues talking about, I wonder? Oh, Jones dropped a 3,890 year old pot and smashed it? What a useless ****er! Someone should do something unpleasant to him. And don't even ask about the unfortunate incident in Athens two years ago - you'll be there all day! Breaking a pillar like that! We don't talk about that here, mate. What? You don't want to discuss the finer points of the prevalence of phallic imagery in Pompeii? Is there something wrong with you? The drive home from work. Every thirty minutes, no matter the station, someone mentions the archaeology. Best sit in silence. Drive past a huge billboard with a black and white picture of a rakishly handsome archaeologist draped over an impossibly beautiful woman. He's winking at you. Trowel in his left hand, supermodel in the right. Jurassic, by Calvin Klein. And now the pub. A nice pub with a beer garden. Posters in the windows. LIVE EXCAVATION AT THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS! All of it on a huge TV with the volume up too loud. Drunken people yelling at the screen. "SEND IT FOR CARBON DATING, YOU USELESS ****!" "WHAT ARE YOU ON, MATE? DUST THE ANCIENT MEDALLION GENTLY! SMELTING METHODS OF THE TIME PRODUCED VERY SOFT AND IMPURE METALS EASILY PRONE TO DISFIGURATION!" All this from two men out of a crowd of twenty. One lousy drunken idiot and his chum ruin the image of other archaeology fans. Carbon dating report from the lab updates on TV, read by a man employed because they've been following the beautiful science since they were a boy. The drunk chimes in again. "WHAT PHARAOH'S REIGN DID YOU SAY? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT THE UNDERPINNINGS OF OUR THEORY OF AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF 4TH BC EGYPT? GET IN, MATE!" A cheer cascades through the building and you can only wonder why. Best go home and avoid anyone who might be drinking and singing. You once met a disagreeable chap who threatened to beat you up because you didn't watch the archaeology. "Not a late paleolithic era supporter are you? Think you're better than me? I'll ****ing have you, you scrawny ****!" To bed. To repeat the cycle tomorrow. The inescapable, inevitability that wherever you go, someone, somewhere, is just dying to talk to you about the archaeology. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I said he made F1 boring for me. I didn't say I wish him harm or ill feeling. He's a human being and I don't like to hear of anyone in that situation did I? I also admire his skill and determination and hopefully the latter will see him through this and achieve as good a recovery as anyone could hope for. As for the verified source statement, I agree with you that it's uncertified hence my statement. What I'm getting at is the piece you posted is just nothing new. At least it wasn't giving false hope and speculating about the possible outcomes with no evidence whatsoever. I think those types of articles don't do anything to help Michael or his family. What I'm trying to say is unless the information is coming from a very good source and verified such as those I have mentioned then I don't think it helps. Fingers crossed.

Fodder Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks glrnet. I was having a pop at the press not Mr Whacky himself. It was their unverified sources I referred to. I check every few days to see if there has been any updates and I'm just frustrated about the guff the "press" put out there. It doesn't help anyone least of all the guy himself. I may not have been a huge Schumacher fan, the quote you picked out was from the fact in my opinion he did make it boring due to his dominance much like Vettel these days, it doesn't detract from the fact they are great drivers. In fact I'm a bit of an underdog fan, I loved watching webber and his post race interviews as he was just so honest. Edit: sorry Vettel the last few seasons! I'm more of a button than a Hamilton fan too. Edited May 13, 2014 by Fodder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
