Hi all.
I wanted to post a tile to support John (Arnfinn) who is having a surgical procedure tomorrow. After some were attempted, it seems those nasty have invaded his abdominal cavity and they need to get the BOOT!
He will most likely not be online for at least a week, so let's send him our and and well wishes for a speedy recovery!
Thinking of you John!

G'day Lori Thank ya for your thoughts n' wellwishes. Me surgeon fixed up me bug in me tummy a few weeks ago. Last Monday 24th he got stuck into some heavy stuff via keyholes. Started the show about 9.30:am, (I WAS asleep) dug around for a bit, then tossed me gall bladder over his shoulder inta the waste gall blader bin. I can imagine him breaking out into song...'Figaro, Figaro, figarooo... Next he entered through me belly button n' fixed up me hernia, + put some surgical gauze for reinforcement, stapled-up all the incisions, there's four of them about inch n' a half long, gave me slap on the backside n' I woke up in me hospital bedroom about 10.45am My doctor visited me about 8.30:am on Tuesday 25th, checked me out n' said I could go home if I liked. I Rang-up Pam n' I was home by 11.30. I have to go back to the hospital next Monday, 31st ta get me staples out. I went down to the village with Pam this afternoon 26th, helped with the shopping (didn't carry anything) n' a little bit painful getting in n' out of the wagon, though not too bad the Subaru's about chair height from the ground. I've got to keep me white stockings on to aid circulation,( wouldn't give a skirt n' a blouse to finnish off me outfit) and I've got to keep walking for the same reason. So I'm not sitting in front of the computer for too long. Can't hug ya Lori, so,s i'll give ya a kiss on the cheek. John

>A> G'day James,
G'day John - great to hear from you!

Always a downside to an op, isn't there? Sympathies!

Sounds like a great start to me, Arnie, only prob is those anti-biotics contain micro-men who go around being upset at custard conversations. They police them - you know, equal rights for jellies and superior rights for cream, that sort of thing (don't even ask about creme fresh - that's outta our whole league). Anyway, John, great to take tea anytime with you - repar-tee or any other.
>A> Thank you for thinking about me.
No worries, mate - a pleasure. I mean, who else understands our chats?
Get well soon, mate, still thinking of you.
Best wishes, J.

Good to see you back on line, John Hope they weren't allowed anywhere near your poetry while they wuz operanting? My Dad had a bit of a turn in Ireland and they checked him out pretty well. Being Irish, they reckonned he'd got a heart condition and so they gave him a brain scan. At least there's something there, or so he claims - they wouldn't let him take it back to Blighty (the scan, that is, not the brain ... ) A very gentle hug to ya, and keep up with the excercise Fran

Best wishes, J. Yeah ya right James, I remember the Jellies and Custards Act, we've got one down here. The Jellies and Custards Act of 1968 (As Amended). The've got one hanging up in the local pie shop. The Micro-Men sub-section comes under the New Award Para 3... [Quote]It shall be an offence for micro men to found within one (1) metre of any cake, pie, biscuit or any other commodity baked or cooked on premises, as outlined, in Schedule B. Any owner found harbouring micro-men shall be guilty of an offence, and as such, may be required to render, by default, his oven and cooking utensils to the Crown (and or) fined one thousand custard tarts.[unquote] Glad, you brought that up James. Intriguing about the cream, I couldn't find a reference... Is there a Creams Act in England? Must be pretty intensive, there are so many varieties, clotted, whipped, ice, mock, flavoured, shaving etc. I can envisage the micro-men would be uncontrolable if that got into that lot. You've always got something interesting to say, mate. Thank you for the time. John

Hi John,
Thank you for your comments. Likewise, I find your info first class - la creme de la creme, in fact.
I have researched this...
Hi Arnie,
I hope the following helps…
It took me several searches to establish the truth about The Creams Acts. However, here it is (I have re-written for clarity - they were rather thick to start with. Actually, it turns out that micro men do have protection in law. (But look very strange wearing one - like a grasshopper in a transparent cape).
The Creams (Consolidation) Act 1756 (Amended by the Creams (Local Authorities) Act, 2003
Purveyors of “Fresh Dairy Cream” shall not, knowingly or otherwise, vend any artificial cream, including those made from vegetable matter, goat’s milk, sheep milk and kangaroo dung.
Cream globules shall not (clotting varieties excepted) be of such a size or density as to impede the free-flowing actions of micro men.
Cream sold must always be fit for purpose. That purpose, unless specific reference be made, shall be as a food comestible. Older or very pongy cream may be sold for other purposes, providing the labelling is clear and precise and specific reference is made to its dodgy eating qualities.
Purveyors of Fresh dairy cream shall make provision for micro men to take frequent saunas in between cream-tunnelling.
All purveyors of fresh cream must obtain a licence. These are obtainable by bribing a Home Office Immigration Official.
Best wishes,
Micro man.

I'm with ya James
The Creams (Consolidation) Act 1756 (Amended by the Creams (Local Authorities) Act, 2003
Well James, I'm pleased, you have some control over the covert cream caper where you live. Down here we've got nuthin
Purveyors of “Fresh Dairy Cream” shall not, knowingly or otherwise, vend any artificial cream, including those made from vegetable matter, goat’s milk, sheep milk and kangaroo dung.
Cream globules shall not (clotting varieties excepted) be of such a size or density as to impede the free-flowing actions of micro men.
Mate, micro men have got made down here they're running Amock!

Very sensible.
Purveyors of Fresh dairy cream shall make provision for micro men to take frequent saunas in between cream-tunnelling.
Good Idea, but it's hard ta find them, they're microscopic!
All purveyors of fresh cream must obtain a licence. These are obtainable by bribing a Home Office Immigration Official.
Wish I could James, but it's too late!
Best wishes,
Micro man. MICRO MAN! What happened to James?Whats happening down in Australia is disgusting. Unrestrained micro men jumping into cream, whipping up a frenzy, having micro-orginisms and turning everything into yoghurt. YUK! Makes me feel sick! They're even capturing their antics on microfilm and making a fortune selling pictures on the Web.
Though, they have their good points. I must give credit where credit's due...I've swallowed about 6 billion today and they're in me innards nocking out bad buggers. It's their seedy side I dont like. There again, what a person, and for that case micro men do in their spare time is their business. So I think I'll turn a blind eye. Arnie
