[modeleng] Re: Fool question

I should change your doctor, Peter!     When my wife had a major hip op, the 
Specialist Physician visited her in hospital the evening before the op. 
When he found that she had neglected to bring supplies, he went to the 
Pharmacy and brought back a small bottle of Scotch Whisky - labelled 
'Whisky - use as prescribed'.   Now THERE'S a doctor for you! - but this was 
in Cape Town and not on the NHS!   I hope that the single malt will soon do 
its magic and that you will be off the horrid drugs.

I do hope that you will make it to the Midlands Exhibition - sadly, I plan 
to be there on Friday, so we will not meet.    Enjoy!

I find that ordinary indexable throw-away tungsten carbide tip; provided 
they are sharp, and the spindle speed is high, produce a fine finish on 
turning brass.

Any of you other chaps planning to be at the MMEX on Friday - is so, please 
contact me on shep.28@xxxxxxxxxxxx so that we may arrange a meeting.

Cheers!   Hubert
