I have now received my official sh*t kit from the Federal Government.

Having turned 65 last March, I have now received an invite to have a Bowel Cancer Screening Test done.

These are free when you are reach various ages, and, of course, I will comply with the invite.

I will not go into the gory details as I realise that it is almost lunchtime in the UK.

Bombs Away!!

Ha ha - In the UK that **right of 'passage' is 60 :-D

If it saves a life, the kerfuffle will be worth it

** that should read 'rite'. Doh!

DET, it starts at 60 over here as well :-)

OH took the test and all was clear

Because I was over 60 I had to wait until now.

Fingers crossed, but not my legs :-D :-D

I've taken three tests, very important they are too. :-)

Did mine on Monday. What a wonderful weekend before hand..

I've done it twice now - just hate doing it. Not sure how often you are supposed to do it. :-D :-D :-D

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.

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. :-) :-) :-)

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

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. :-(

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

I have been to Manchester.

Allan we need to have a little word.

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

They've never complained before.

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

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

Every 2 years in the UK I believe.

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

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

Yeah - the negatives prove it

Disgusting!

Just been looking at another thread.

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

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!
