Every January I go to hospital for a medical (scan, Blood, urine and so on) and in February I go to the Docs for the results, well that was yesterday and amongst other stuff he said he was advising my urine and Chloresterol tests become every other year rather than once a year.

I love swimming and manage a mile every morning which means I can continue with the Vodka and chips with Mayo and salt.

The only thing that annoys me is every summer when we go to the Indian Ocean for 4 week's of scuba diving my knees set off the alarms as I go through the metal detector. That's the downside of jumping which they don't tell you

Ah, Lt.J., recently elevated to the dizzy heights of an Orifice and Gentleman (and a change of Mess?), I'm forced to admit to being envious of your physical prowess.

At first.I thought that 'M' had arranged your yearly checkups- you know, those advising you to give up; the Balkan Sobranie, the Vodka Martinis (shaken, but not stirred..), the unrelenting combat with super villains, the bullet wounds and beluga caviar...and the other excessive horizontal entertainment
A visit to the hospital in Inverness today, showed an ankle full of Titanium screws.....like some sort of stash from a Wickes' tool mule!. Having never achieved jumping wings, and the attendant knackered knees, I shall have to display my modest metal collection to the Airport scanner in the style of Harry Worth at his trademark window.
