    You and Mrs RC both did the right thing, and so did the doctor that had you shunted to the other siding. Thank goodness you turned out to have a serious medical condition that isn't very trendy (though it sounds deeply unpleasant) rather than - well, rather than you being dead. There's no such thing as being a fraud when you start to come apart at the seams.

    I hope you're feeling OK (or at least no crappier than you must be in the circumstances) and that they're doing a good job of nailing a few boards over the unwanted gaps. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and felicitations, and give Mrs RC a pat on the back from me, and a hug from your good self

    There are good pubs in which we have not yet met, and I don't want them to go to waste. We'll have to arrange a meetup soon, and see who else on CUK wants to come and marvel at the living dead

      For future reference: you ought to give them your real name. It helps them track down your medical history, and not all of them read CUK on a regular basis.

        They think he's joking when he says "Name? Dick Head. No really, yes, my parents did have a sense of humour..."

        Good news RC, did you get the contract?

              That's a day and a half for sure!

              Take it easy and get better soon.

                Isn't about time you put up some ads here for:

                Life insurance
                Medical cover
                Funeral services


                Only thinking of the CUK bottom line.

                  I was thinking more weight watchers, alcoholics anonymous, The Samaritans or Fitness first.

                    I was thinking the same thing
