I trust you had the op without any drugs to show how hard racing drivers are, just have a thought for me having to spend another week in the sun because the flights are all up the creek. I wonder if I can claim loss of earnings from "Sleasyjet" ? I might get back on Tuesday !

I hope all goes better than well on Monday Iain.
If the snow and ice are still hanging around by then Hospital may be the safest place to be. |

In that case - what are you worrying about, you wimp - just get the job done with a stanley knife and some tie-wraps!.......  Is that more in the spirit of what you'd expect? Had a couple of spells in hospital myself in the last 18 months...a wee bit of brain surgery - no, they didn't find any wear on it, its never been used - and a minor nasal op.....and although the NHS bureaucracy is a pain, the operational and caring staff were great. Sure you'll be fine! |

Some people around the corner from me have built a Jaw's like shark out of the snow and Mk1 Mart also built a full size igloo. Hope you have built Arthur a Mk1 Cortina Joe.
