   Actually, for both our sakes, I hope we both do. Usenet   
   is a nasty addiction we can both do without. You have   
   young JB to consider while I have my grandson to look   
   after for quite a bit of each week. Once JB has grown up   
   and buggered off you'll appreciate having a kid around the   
   place again, especially if you're used to having four of them.

   Losing an average of 10lbs a month for six months is easy   
   if you're determined enough and can stick by a carefully   
   controlled regime of exercise and diet. Packing up the fags   
   was a nightmare, but I reckon that experience has helped   
   me strengthen my resolve to do almost anything I want now.

   Needle away, Jon, because despite what you might think   
   and the pain I still have to endure, I'm living a comfortable   
   and enjoyable life. Who knows - another op might sort it   
   out if I decide to go ahead with my consultant's advice,   
   and then, well, I'll be equipped for anything life can throw   
   at me once I'm pain-free.
