I used to be a trainer in my past life before I went mad. Anyway, some of the courses used to last a number of weeks, and I almost invariably got a bottle of vodka as a thank you ... best students ever!

@ the bloody nose story! That's a story you can dine out on for years.... and watch MrHM cringe

Poor soul, I bet he feels awful.... and poor you!
I forgive you and Amica for laughing at my tale of woe....
Life here is mooching along aimlessly ... I'm taking my car into the garage tomorrow for them to do an engine diagnostic thing to see what error code is showing for my engine warning light. They agree that it's probably nothing significant and just a blip in the system. However, I'm going to get the fuel injectors done next week anyway as they need to be done sooner or later and I might as well bite the bullet and do it now.
