Have you tried arguing that,becausealcohol kills a number of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and even a few viruses, consumption of alcoholmight be a good ideaas apreventative measure? Just a thought Fear not, though. Len's got you covered.

Our fellow coach and friend Graeme is heading in for surgery early AEST tomorrow. He is having some melanoma's removed from around his lymph glands and is understandably nervous about the procedure. Please join me in wishing him every bit of luck, though I am sure he will be fine and wont need it. No doubt he would also welcome those of you with gods giving them a wee nudge also. Hoping to hear how he went on or before the 31st..
Wow, yes, all the best Graeme! The Cows took an early exit just to allow you time to concentrate on your health it seems Take care
Heads up kiwi boy............I cant open the TS Messages, just loads & loads and nothing..........email me directly, sent you one already. Oh - time to kick arse tomorrow lad, enough of these shenanigans !! sNoZ
Many thanks, time to head off. Your best wishes really are helpful. I'll leave the re-commitment to ORFFA until I get back! That's as close to gallows humour as I can get.

Best wishes Graeme - hope all goes well and the recovery is swift. I've also sent you a PM with a trade proposal designed to be read whilst you are still groggy after the op. The deal involves Fyfe and my fourth round draft pick. It is fair and balanced...
