<p>Tony, I knew I could rely on your boundless empathy and support in my hour of need. I hope after the trip to the doc's your socket is feeling better now. :-)</p>
<p>I was once asked the difference between Banjo players and Terrorists.</p>

<p>What a coincidence! The same thing happened to me a while back, when I was just your age: my fingers were uncontrollable bunches of fat little bananas (so different from the spider's legs at the ends of Rob MacKillop's hands (sigh!)), so I went to see the doctor for some advice. When I had told him the sorry story about this cliff-edge fall in my playing ability, he unwrapped a couple of electrodes and started plugging them into a socket. "Aha!" I said. "So you think some electric shock treatment will get my fingers working properly again?" </p>
<p>"There's nothing wrong with your fingers," said the the quack. "The electric shock is for your brain. You've clearly forgotten just how bad your playing used to be!" </p>
<p>You've come to the wrong place for sympathy.</p>
<p>Regards</p>
