I found it fascinating as I could watch it on the monitor, then thought it was all over but no they had to get a longer scope, bit like exploring a cave.

eRRol shouldn't have much of a problem, see little marbles out in the paddocks here, he could do pick and mix.

Persie

I got my kit through the post on the week of my 55th birthday!

:-D :-D :-D Persie

A few years ago I had both an endoscopy and colonoscopy at the same time.

I'm still not sure whether they used one tube or two :-|

It's a good job that they knocked me out :-0

Yeah I had the real doozie... they didn't want me to correspond. though himself has done that as well.

In our Otago paper a while back it stated

Dunedin Hospital will be doing colonoscopies on Saturdays to clear the backlog.


:-D :-D :-D

Wend,
It sounds as though you are all talking about the very simple test, whereas Persie may be describing the preparation for a colonoscopy. Big difference.

Why not just buy bacon and save on all the other items?

Not only over-complicated but also wasteful

Isn't anything possible in America?

However, if you want lamb flavoured bacon, buy lamb.
If you want bacon flavoured lamb, buy bacon.

Don't Americans just over-complicate!

Just been looking at another thread.

I wonder if the Americans eat bacon flavoured lamb, and is it possible to purchase lamb flavoured bacon?

Yeah - the negatives prove it

Disgusting!

They do things differently in NZ, Wend :-D :-D

Every 2 years in the UK I believe.

Worried about Persie's expression *drank the gunk* :-0 :-0 :-0

No, hang on to them for the moment

My OH still has her suspicions :-0


PS I did so like the fourth negative: a very good likeness, and so natural

They've never complained before.

By the way - do you still want me to post the negatives back to you?

At your convenience , Errol...so long as it's not a public one

People may get the wrong idea if I'm seen entering a toilet block with a sheep :-D :-D

I have been to Manchester.

Allan we need to have a little word.

Takes me back to my childhood in Manchester, my Lady, when we would wander the back entries around the neighbour hood and poke sticks into dog droppings :-)

Just before bonfire night was best though, as you could stick bangers in them, hide behind a wall until the explosion, and then go and see how far the resultant mess had carried...a veritable shower of sh*t :-D :-D

We both did the test last year, and OH isn't 60 yet.

Nothing intrusive.........you do your bit .......(instructions supplied) at home and poke at it with a little stick thing, put the stick in a container, and post it.

Is this what they mean by sh!t mail?

:-D

I expect in a few years we'll have to go through the intrusive one. :-(

It seems to be every two years here, lovely but necessary

Himself reckons on every five years Sue.

Think he has done it three or four times now.. probably has a professional's badge. He certainly adopted a tutor's attitude and then was surprised when I drank the gunk better than he did. :-S

I so enjoyed going for lunch afterwards. :-) :-) :-)

Germany's standard dictionary has included a vulgar English term, used by Chancellor Angela Merkel among others, as an acceptable German word.

Duden, the equivalent of the Oxford English Dictionary in the UK, said it was reflecting the common use of the word "shitstorm" among Germans.

The word, which is used in German to denote a public outcry, seems to have caught on during the eurozone crisis.
