10th December. News of a Spontaneous Remission in The Comrie Area.

I'll be writing shortly to Pope Benedict XVI to submit a report on the miraculous cure of the horrible noise from the front differential, which has simply vanished in the last couple of days.

"There exists no natural cause capable of producing the cure witnessed, it follows there is neither let nor hindrance to prevent an unbiassed mind from tracing back to the particular agency of God. Those who refuse to believe in this miraculous intervention may seek a scientific interpretation of the occurrence. How do we know that some natural force of which we are still ignorant does not operate this marvellous cure which is attributed directly to God?" How do we know? Why should this law operate for Daihatsu and not for Toyota? Is it because they deny its existence and the others believe in it? Moreover, not only there does not exist, but there cannot exist, and consequently will never exist, a natural law producing instantaneously the regeneration of bearing surfaces."

Please don't tell me that this totally random act of the ball bearing falling into place has turned you towards the heavens? What about the Abernethy Atheists Association Indian Meal night?
