Sapper -
Know the feeling at airports - they search and search - and find nothing and reluctently pass on !!!

Had both hip joints replaced in 2006 - the older surgeon and his apprentice were looking at the x rays and the young man was asking what all the white spots
were - "possible faulty film? " he asked whereupon the older one looked - then looked at me - then said " if we dig those out - we can send them all back to the Volkswagen people - they can make a bumper out of that lot !"

All I really lost was my hearing and a chunk of my left leg but the hearing is annoying as I can't hear all the notes in Beethoven's creations...but then at 84 - I can't hear all the commercials which is a blessing !

Cheers - and stay out of that pub on Wallisdown Road !
