A picture posted (see below), seeing as I can't watch television. Had a 
scare last Tuesday with pain in my chest and arm & had to go to hospital. 
Lots of tests - both static & active, & nothing showed up. So went to have 
an angiogram today. Seem to have a mildish problem, so it's pills, walks and 
diet for me. Anyway after the angiogram, my wife had to collect me & was 
handed my bag as "he mustn't lift anything" saith the nurse "as the incision 
might reopen". I said I'd spend the night on the computer, but wife and 
nurse tut-tutted and I was told to relax and watch tv.

When we got home, it turned out it was wall to wall Michael Jackson. I 
watched desultorily until Brooke Shields sacchar-cringingly averred "Michael 
was one of a kind!" Silently thinking he certainly was - I'd never heard of 
any other dyed white paedophiles, I switched off & yelled at my son to 
deliver me one of his dvds to lighten my spirits. He put "Borat" in the slot 
and retreated.

And the reason I'm back on the computer and not watching television? I 
laughed so loud at one part of "Borat" I slapped my hand on the table in 
front of me, and yes, of course, it was the one with the incision and the 
very one I was told to mind carefully for 24 hours "Don't even wash it!!". 
So using the pc is easier and safer than tv....

Anyway, a Bristol 406 - these cars were built originally by the Bristol 
aeroplane company who made the famous Bristol Fighter of WW1. That's its 
owner beside it - seems a bit of a Bristol Fighter himself...
