I'm going to have to fix the one on the bus, not 'cos it loses any significant amount of oil but 'cos the taxi-test bloke will fail it in the autumn. Plenty of time yet though :-)

Having had a depressingly semantic afternoon I feel obliged to point out that to 'gag' is an autonomic response regurgitative spasm to something being stuck or inserted into the throat. I believe you actually mean 'retch'.
(Caveat: 'gag' may lead to retching)
Oh, hope you get well soon etc... :-)
I think he meant he was going to tell a joke, however I have heard a fair few gags that led to retching, and even some strangulation and beatings.
