Why advice columns are good!

Dear Abie,

The other day I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching TV. I hadn't gone more than a mile when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked all the way back home only to find my husband making love to to our neighbour! He was retrenched from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but I don't know if I can trust him anymore. What should I do?

Sincerely,
Frustrated.


Dear Frustrated,

A car stalling can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Check for debris in the fuel line. If it's clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. Or it could be the fuel pump itself being faulty causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.

I hope this helps.

P.A.D.

Another boring day passed by as I stared at my computer screen or the ceiling fan in a bid to discover something new! Alas! No apple fell on my head! I started rummaging through my bookshelf and found some mags...(mind u I don't hind porno in my wardrobe for those smirking folk!). It was a mag. And as I started reading it, I discovered something. About myself.

Guess what folks I suffer from PAD. Sounds cool eh? It means Phone Anxiety Disorder or also known as Phonexiety!!?? :O

No it's not a disease where you phone gets stuck to you whenever you get tensed or anything but apparently you are so stressed out that you start hearing things. In this case you think your phone rings when in reality it doesn't! Phew. And I thought I had gone mad, hearing things that I didn't. PAD sounds much cooler than MAD doesn't it! :P

And for anyone else who suffers from it, sorry dude, apparently as of now it's not a curable disease, though chucking yourself in a place where there is no network, like the North Pole might help. But do pray that now maybe you don't start 'seeing' things, like maybe an appearing mobile phone!
