spoke to him at length earlier and although we did discuss his surgery, we spent more time raging about anti-vaxers and the inevitable covid case creep as restrictions are eased...which sort of means ok, considering. he says it's 'bloody sore' but he seems to be alright - he just can't go near microwaves or magnets, and has a smart meter at the side of his bed sending off data to government spies (to some medical specialists or something) as he slumbers. cheers for asking. That's good to hear, mate. My Mum is in the same boat, but now she goes to the hospital (every 6 months, I think) and they download the data from her pacemaker and adjust it if necessary. She too is unable to go near microwaves or magnets, which means she can't use wireless earphones or anything like that - the positives far outweigh any negatives such as this, though. It has improved her quality of life massively and she's never looked back since she's had hers. Your Dad will soon forget it's there, ars, and it'll make such a difference. Please keep us posted, mate.

good to hear it about your mum and i hope it's the same for my dad. they told him that for some people it doesn't seem to have any discernable positive effect, some it makes a bit of difference for, and some feel like it's a game-changer. we'll see over time where he's ended up in that particular lottery.

I'm sure it'll be the absolute latter. Best wishes to you all, mate

Do I recall correctly, Sir, that you went by the name of 'gazza7' in the old 606/early CH days - when I was 'hatter_in_maccnificent'?!

You're close, Maccy, but it was Gazza_007 on 606, which was a combination of my admiration for the absolute footballing genius of Paul Gascoigne and my disturbing James Bond fixation - thoroughly putting paid to any thoughts that my name might be Gary! What can I say, I'm a strange guy!

I knew that one Gazz! And 606 was where Dudley Hatter first came into existence!

I still think of you with an underscore, even now, C_F!
