The Doctor


'The Doctor'


Valentino Rossi congratulating Nicky Hayden

Poor old Valentino Rossi (aka 'The Doctor') made a rare mistake on Sunday in the last race of the Motor GP season. He slid off the track very early on and admitted it was his mistake. Although he was able to continue in the race he lost too much time. He has previously won 7 world titles (5 in a row). Nicky Haden became world champion. However, it was nice to see how gracious in defeat Valentino was.
Does anyone in the UK watch this sport? I would be interested to know, as it is really big here in Italy. I have just started watching and it is much more exciting than Formula 1 these days. Does anybody know who Valentino Rossi is? In Italy he is a superstar. I think he lives in London where he is relatively unknow.

Of course we know who he is. Don't be rediculous! He still has to become world champion at F1 to emulate John Surtees. MD

Actually I went to see my doctor the other day. I told him I wasn't feeling well. He told me to put my head out of the window and stick my tongue out.

I did this and said 'Well? Am I OK?'

He said 'I don't know, but I don't like the people who live over there!'

Ha ha.

While we wait for Mike's next post, and keeping the doctor theme:

"Doctor, Doctor, You've got to help me - I just can't stop my hands shaking!"
"Do you drink a lot?"
"Not really - I spill most of it!"

"Doctor, doctor, will I be able to play the violin after the operation?"
"Yes, of course..."
"Great! I never could before!"

"Doctor, Doctor, what can I do? I think I'm a pair of curtains?"
"Pull yourself together man!"

"Doctor, Doctor, I think I'm a bridge?"
"What's come over you?"
"Oh, two cars, a large truck and a coach."

"Doctor, Doctor ,I think I'm god..."
"How did that start?"
"In the beginning there was darkness......"

"Doctor, Doctor, Can I have second opinion?"
"Of course, come back tomorrow!"

"Doctor, Doctor, I think I've broken my neck"
"Don't worry - keep your chin up!"

Patient: I always see spots before my eyes.
Doctor: Didn't the new glasses help?
Patient: Sure, now I see the spots much clearer.

"Doctor Doctor, my daughter has just swallowed my pen - what shall I do?"
"Use a pencil!"

"Doctor Doctor, what can I do? Everyone thinks I'm a liar..."
"I find that very hard to believe!"

"Doctor, Doctor, I feel like a pack of cards..."
"I'll deal with you later!"

"Doctor, Doctor ,my irregular heartbeat is really frightening me."
"Don't worry - we'll soon put a stop to it!"

"Doctor, Doctor, Please help me. I think I'm invisible...."
"Next Please!"

"Doctor, Doctor, I think I'm a bell?"
"Take these and if it doesn't help give me a ring!"

"Doctor, Doctor, I think I'm a cat..."
"How long has this been going on?"
"Oh, since I was a kitten I guess!"

"Doctor, Doctor, I've got insomnia"
"Just sit on the edge of the bed. You'll soon drop off!"

"Doctor, Doctor, I've got wind! Can you give me something?"
"Yes - here's a kite!"
