Being a typical Scorpio, I've obviously taken Vespa's post to heart. As such, in addition to my Worrall post, I feel the need to update you all on my training for the mountain-climb on 4th August.
Frankly, it's been really challenging and tough so far. However, despite my overall 35% kidney function, I think I'm progressing well. I'm now up to 1.5 bottles of wine a night and 20 cigs. Quite proud of my progress so far.

I have plenty of hope of climbing a mountain soon then who wants to sponsor me 100 sleeves of cigs and a 100 crates of Stella I will be having someone push me up there in my recliner ?.

Legless, as Mark Twain once said “ Show me a man who doesn’t drink and I’ll show you a man who’s never used his liver! ”
Good luck and keep going! ??.

Glad to hear Legless, at the moment I'm spending more time in hospital, than at home. I hope we are O. K.

Of course Vespa! I know that hospital-feeling all too well - you have my sympathy mate. Hang in there.

PS Vespa. Try not to spend too much time in hospital or the nurses will give you a nickname. I suppose it's their way of adding humour to their job and remembering patients between themselves rather than 'Mr or Mrs X'. I think I've posted this before - but during my extended stay in ICU the nurses nicknamed me 'The Terminator' as I simply wouldn't die! I do love the British SOH.

Late reply Legless, but you have to trust them, my only problem is it's nothing like Carry on Nurse, what I wouldn't do for Babs taking my temperature ?.
