I received this email yesterday and it made me smile hope it does the same for you...

Subject: Why men don't write advice columns

Dear Walter,
I hope you can help me.
The other day I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to an abrupt halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got there, I couldn't believe my eyes.
He was in the bedroom with our neighbour, making mad passionate love to her.
It turns out that he's been having an affair for the past six months.
I told him to stop, or I would leave him.
He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant.
I don't feel I can get through to him any more.
Can you please help?
Sincerely,
Sue

Dear Sue,
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburettor float chamber.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Walter
