Hello everyone,

You may have noticed my absence over the last week, or tried to get in touch with me and failed.

I have had a rather nasty short illness which isn't over yet. When I'm better I need to catch up with the next MEW so it will take me a while to work through the rather large backlog of emails and messages I have.

Thanks to everyone for thier patience.

Neil

In the spirit of the forum, would you not consider starting a thread "How to fix Neil"? Members could post ideas for remedies / surgery. You might even find people willing to operate.

Just a thought.

In any case. Get well soon

David.

Or "Breaking for spares" but might not get any takers.

Do medical forums get the same sort of posts as this one?

"I did first aid at school so thought I'd try a heart transplant on the wife. I've connected up two of the pipes from the pump thingy but where do the other two go?"
"What sort of blood do I use in a 1945 model wife?"
"I got a bargain box of spare legs at a car boot".
Perhaps Tony can start another website – http://www.corpses.co.uk

I suppose we would be quite adept at making a "Super Neil".

Thats what you get for spending too many nights out in the cold looking up at the sky, get well soon.

I just hope that he is Super Adept at getting back on his feet…

(Neil – apologies for the joke, but do hope to read more of your quips here again soon)

Bazyle, I claim rights on "Corpse Delivery Service". Handy for young motorists needing a quiet back seat driver/companion, for discouraging undue attention. Prop one up inside your front door in case of unwelcome visitors, regularly replaced for that 'Fresh' appearance. Have a 'conversation piece' to avoid unwelcome silences at parties, and somewhere to park hats, pipes, umbrellas, spliffs etc. Make a fourth for cards, handy for practice funerals, family portraits, darts practice. Testimonials available.

Neil – Hope you are back to normal ASAP. In the meantime why not ease the strain by delegating? There seem to be some keen moderators hereabouts – give them a chance to earn a little respect!

Apropos my posting of 6.15pm last night, I was telling my wife about my small business, Corpse Delivery Service, and she said, "There really is one, you know". In disbelief, I rashly doubted The Word of the Famous Debs. This was a foolish thing to do, I really should have learned my lesson after 10 years. Anyway, look at http://www.distefano.com and take away this thought, how did my darling wife know of this website, and isn't it just a bit worrying…?

Thanks everyone,

I needed to be totally drained and flushed out, needed some special additive before I could return to normal fuel. Then they found I was suffering from a blocked breather which is taking a while to fix, but they've given me a little spray perhaps it's Bradex easy-start.

Side effect of the work is that I seem to have lost a few pounds of extraneous bodywork, and I've been told to expect to spend a good fortnight running things back in.

Looking forward to when I can try a bit of 5-octane fuel.

Neil
