Presumably, this is a humourous allusion to G.H. Hardy when he undertook what, to his mind, was a perilous trip across the English Channel, and mailed postcards to a number of friends, saying he had such a proof.
Hardy was a staunch atheist, and figured that, if he was wrong and there truly was an omniscient being, they'd never let him get away with leaving the world thinking he had found a solution to such a famous problem and taken it with him to Davy Jones' locker :-).
My best wishes for a successful operation and a complete recovery!

Hi
Thanks for the best wishes :)
Everything went fine thanks but I am currently on a lot of painkillers and eating my food through a straw! Still, I am sure I will survive.
Slightly disappointed you didn't believe me when I said I had a proof but glad you got the joke.
Cheers,
Mike
