Paddy, you are in our thoughts.....When I was in Scotland 2 months ago I conked out at the rental car area...woke up in an ambulance ...spent 2 days at the Paisley hospital ....multiple tests, MRI, ESG and blood tests and nothing was wrong according to the cardioligist. He sugested a lack of water on the long flight and waiting for custom/imigration process was the issue

Douggie

I bet that messed up your holiday. Good thing is you are still with us. You can always have another holiday but we can not get another Douggie.
The posts on this thread over the last few days are a reminder to us all that we never really know what the other person has been or still is enduring. Sh*t happens but it is how we deal with it that counts. My family, my good friends on this forum and my boats are the icing on my rich cake of life.

Thanks Simon. Mate with the improving Aus $ you might get to meet me when I retire. Only $300 return to NZ at the moment. Maybe I will come and do the sex tour of NZ. That should keep me busy for a while and give me some much needed exercise at the same time.

It's OK to think less of me guys. That's what I like about being a bottom dweller, I dont give a sh*t

Paddy and all a further revelation to Douggie's demise at the Glasgow airport.....our plane arrived at 5.10am local time....there was only one bitch from hell at imigration who was taking 5 to 10 minutes to interview 240 passengers, after an hour I started a chorus of "why are we waiting" and within 1 minute 7 other officers appeared and I was cleared within 30 seconds.

Maybe explains why you're my 'biggest' OSE pal.. full of Ssssssst !
Let me suggest the ingenuity of a prostate examination to release the pressure.. spare a thought for your nurse who may soon be eulogized as 'the fertilizer queen' ...

She will be safe. I started a diet at midnight last night. One of the things the Doc said was that losing weight would help tremendously with my two problems.
I am in no hurry to die because you guys and my boats give me a reason to soldier on. Besides I am a long way from 100 mph with my boats so I still have that challenge ahead of me.

Question for the Doctor

Just wondering if your parcel from OSE has arrived yet? Still waiting for mine and that was ordered before yours. I ordered a Swordfish 240 HV this morning so I hope that comes quicker. Postage from the US is expensive and slow. It might be slower still if they default on their debt.

23 days, and counting.
Pigeon couriers would have been quicker !

I have asked SteveV to confirm departure date... as the usps tracking tells f'all.

Have scoured my house/shed/lab .. and dont have any bits (have ordered new) for salvage into the new SC40 Cat.
The dead cat now lives alongside me in the office.. atop the recycle bin !. A most appropriate spot considering it's usefulness.

It is strange that 3 of us ordered at about the same time and none of us have received anything yet. We all know the problem is not with OSE so anyone reading this need not think we are having a shot in that direction. I only have good things to say about OSE as a business.
