Back soon

Monday, 25th August 2008

I'm afraid I won't be able to post for a while. I'm having an operation tomorrow which will put my my right hand will be out of action for a few weeks.

I'll be back asap - but will be typing with my left hand so posts will be brief!

All the best, Mr. Pollard! Hope the op is a success and the rehab. less than painful.

As an experienced "one handed typist" myself I have to say that you get used to it.

One-handed typing can't get worse than this: "... which will put my my right hand will be out of action for a few weeks."

All the best!!

Do let us know how it turned out Stephen, hope your ok. ;) don't worry you're still loved by some. Fate forced me to scamper to a hospital with a cut tendon. I appreciate how these things can go wrong, typos will be typos one and the same.
