i nearly bought an Omega from near Andy b in Radcliffe coming up to 12 months ago now. ....... Its  still there now .....

Where's that then?  :-/

P.M sent matey

[Vamps]

Bought a MKII 2.4S Jag body was sound but had been ‘coach painted’ needed a new Battery, not a big deal.

Started to run around in it, decided it did not feel as punchy as I expected, had to do the valves, bought a locking tool, did the valves and tried to start the car, bang went the exhaust, obviously the timing had slipped, I was fed up and scrapped it, got £25.00 for it.

On the Down at the mo, bit of a worry as on the sick, 3 days time on holiday till 2nd Just worried what work will think Health wise been pushing my luck nor for too long, the good side is when I am well I am very very good at my job and spend a lot of the time doing the legal/heavy stuff for other members of the team but those days are decreasing year after year and the day will come

We've had a conversation along the same lines this afternoon when I saw how old Bugsy Malone is (it's on some time this week ). It's also made in 1976, and one of the young lads said .... ''that's 13 years before I was born ...."

iirc Mike your job can be stressful at times and that combined with your past problems  must make them see that you are a genuine person that needs a bit longer to regain your health after a bout of illness .As i see it  if just any one could do your job they would have dropped  hints by now and told you the score. Worrying about it will slow down your recovery so chin up
