I'm meant the operation, not particularly the place, and to lighten the situation a little! The only way of getting through this is with a sense of humour, if you lose that you have lost everything.
I think Mick has been opening his wallet too often, particulatly in the recent hard weather, and the cold has got in. No doubt he will learn from the experience and come back better than ever.
Here's hoping so,
Cheers, Scowie.
