Bleeding Thumb,

I didn't know you were the Forum's third geologist. The point about hemorrhoids and a/c is that you are much more likely to contract them if you are sitting on the (almost) red hot plastic bench seat of a Toyota bumping around in rough country, than you are if you are in a cool vehicle with comfortable seats; I was doing mineral exploration in the Lawn Hill area (we managed to miss finding the Century deposit:mad: ) when I contracted them. I was operated on in the surgery of a doctor in Mt Isa, whose main expertise was in patching up Serbian miners who had been attacked by Croats It wasn't until I got back to England that I had them properly fixed.

Hi Rocker, no I was head fieldy for Agip and AFMECO from 79-83. Worked around the Gulf country and up into the Cape. It wasn't too respectable looking for uranium for the French government back then!
We did a bit of driving alright, used to drive to Cairns airport to pickup and drop off the Geologists if they couldn't charter a plane out!

I'm typing this standing up. They kicked me out half an hour ago, exploratory surgery found a clamped off vein from the original reconstruction had let go, lasered the little bugger this time and finished up with a bit of a sewing job, I should be back to hitting middle C in about a fortnights time.
Thanks for your support folks.

Ditto the good cheers Termite. Can I suggest a small tractor tyre inner-tube as cushion for the next few days?

Sitting pretty soon, whole thing must have been a pain in the ar.....e?

Good to hear it ended up not being a big deal Termite, just a big PIA for a few days. At least it kept a few forumites amused for a while, although I'm not to sure I would have found your problem anything but a huge worry.
