Armless and farmless.
A self-employed ex-picture hanger
turned countryside worker, Mr Marmaduke Palmer,
has lost an arm in an accidental incident involving
some South American mammals stored on his farm
in Ireland.
Mr Palmer (known simply as
“The Duke” to his friends) lost the
shoulder-based appendage after it was torn from
the left side of his body by one of the angry
male beasts.
But now Mr Palmer hopes to
turn the loss of his limb into a large sum lump
of compensation.
After seeing a Claims Direct
ad on the television, and then talking to Claims
Direct directly on the telephone about his claim,
Mr Palmer is hopeful some compo monies will be
heading his way soon. However Mr Palmer, as his
own boss, fears he will have to pay out the lumpy
sum himself, leaving him badly out of pockets.
“I’m not sure
I can pay myself that sort of money, it’s
going to leave me badly out of pockets,”
he said.
“But now I’m
disabled and I can’t work on the farm so
I needs the money. If I don’t take myself
to court I’m going to be penniless, but if
I do I’ll lose every penny I’ve ever
made,” Mr Palmer said while scratching his
head, with the remaining good arm.
The bad arm, approximately
three feet long in length with a hand at one end
and an elbow in the middle, is still missing.
