.All he needs is his daily dose of porridge to encourage him.

any one who eats porridge butties needs his bumps feeling, I'm sorry to say.............
as for being helpfull.............well i'm going to embarrass him now..........
I've known Rod since he came to Fleetwood from Whitworth area,Rochdale in the 1980's and we wind each other up mercilessly, but I remember one day in 1991, we ( my wife and I) were going on holiday and taking a model of a boat up to Aberdeen where the new owner was to pick it up.
Rod told me to ring him when we got there to make sure we were safe and sound............I phoned him about 19.30 hours and wound him up........I told him that I'd blown my car up, whilst trying to make the ferry in Aberdeen.
Without a moments hesitation, thinking I was serious, Rod said.........."give me about 30 minutes to get a tow rope together from work, and I'll be up in the early hours to tow you home........."
Now I can't print the expleatives that rang down the phone when he realised I was laughing and winding him up.........but without hessitation he would have made that journey for us, without flinching............and he doesn't like driving!!
I couldn't ask for a better friend than Rod..........he's a real diamond geezer.
