Soon - but not yet. Got a few more bendy-cracky-ouchy sessions first,
then the three legged doggie exercises followed by Max trying to shag
me before he remembers that this tends to make his nose hurt :-(

Still, better than the 6 weeks in traction which was the alternative.
I seriously cannot fecking believe that in this day and age they still
do that rather than pay for Chiropractors on the NHS. How much does 6
weeks in hospital cost the NHS? (Not to mention my lost earnings).

I spotted it in the film - 's a good job they gave it a better grille in the
production version.

I have spoken to his agent, and I also speak to Jerry Thurston
regularly as he lives local to me, although I've seen him drive in
some of our club events.....
