Re: They can't put a good man down - but they had a damn good try!
Good morning from London, England. Have to be a quick visit as I am the healthiest bod in our family at prez! My youngest daughter who works at a Harry Potter theme park in Watford 25 miles away came home earlier in the week feeling rough & eventually tested positive for Covid' My w*fe followed ...

Re: They can't put a good man down - but they had a damn good try!
Am off to Ealing Hospital tomorrow for an MRI scan to check how my latest Cryotherapy op went. My latest PSA reading was 2.5 so I am hopeful. Had 18 weeks of a catheter come to an end & it is so glorious to pee again. Also had a v small (luckily) camera down my Turpin - not a great barrel of lau...

Re: It's 104℉ Right Now
Hi Kellemora - I've just dived back online to keep in touch & am so sorry to hear that you feel so poorly. You will be in my thoughts here in London, England and please accept my good wishes to you and your family. You have always 'come across' online as such a strong character so "Do not g...

They can't put a good man down - but they had a damn good try!
While I was in & out of hospital - my youngest daughter purloined my laptop to get her stuff transferred to a new set up of her own. It has taken a while but she has kindly - albeit grudgingly - allowed me the use thereof! I've had a few problems with my health but am gradually seeing a light at...

Re: God bless the NHS (They might be listening)
Hi Dennis, Kellemora & Oceloti - I hope you are all fit & well. Once again apologies for my silence. As I said - my brush with Covid was lighter than a lot of folk & so I should be thankful for that. One strange outcome was that although recovering slowly but surely from my 2 ops - after...

Re: God bless the NHS (They might be listening)
Forgive my laziness - I have just been in a trance-like state just coping with day to day gumpf. I keep myself clean & tidy, beard trimmed & nose & ears deflocked. My weight is under 12stone (168lbs) for the 1st time in ages & so I can say that every cloud def does have a silver lini...

Re: God bless the NHS (They might be listening)
Well the last 5 days or so have not been a pleasant experience - but nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. I'm still testing positive on the lateral flow test & all apart from the rotten 'cold' symptoms I am still feeling apathetic, lazy & extremely tired. Everything seems to take ten time...

Re: God bless the NHS (They might be listening)
I shall post re cryotherapy & the UK expert on the procedure - Prof Hamid Ahmed - soon but have covid complications in my little 3 person family unit. My w*fe - who still communicates with the dead & wishes to kill me - fell ill almost a week ago after visiting our grandchildren. She has tes...

I'm still 'all thumbs' so not sure if this posting OK. Anyone in UK browsing this site who has a prostate - get it checked - PRONTO! Yogi & KM have obviously done just that & if my family GP had not started early detective work because of unexplained older male family illnesses - I would hav...

God bless the NHS (They might be listening)
Just a quick hello - still have my nether regions in a sling so although alive - not quite kicking yet! I had probs getting back to Pierre but was me not quite on the ball (Totally inappropriate expression to use as I feel like an express train - has steamed through both of mine!) I hope you're all ...

Re: Out of touch - but alive & kicking
Great to hear yr both OK
I have finally managed to sort out my rogue alarm & to coin an old saying - 'The silence is deafening!'
My ears are still in a sling but hope to be back to chunter on soon.
Take care

Writer's Block - Only Bleats Emerge!
Every time I relax & attempt to put pen to paper I have found myself sounding like a self-pitying bleat machine! About a week ago I received notification from HMGov that I have still to consider myself in the extremely vulnerable category until at least the 31st March. I am 49.999 etc rec. (agai...

Re: Catastrophe -Virtual Funeral - Resident Alien!
Yes - my home telephone is also part of a package. Before the pandemic I would let all calls go through to 'voice mail' & reply to genuine callers. This worked out fine until our sleep patterns changed to cope with lock downs. We do have time together as a family unit but my wife Carol prefers t...

Re: Catastrophe -Virtual Funeral - Resident Alien!
Many apologies Kellemora - we all tackle grief & illness in different ways. I have always laughed when I should have cried & vice versa! It's coming up to a year that this pandemic has been upon us & my way of coping with being shut inside is not everyone's 'cup of tea'. It is Monday mor...

Catastrophe -Virtual Funeral - Resident Alien!
Please bear with me. It all ties together eventually! The Alien that has taken over the body & mind of my W*fe took upon herself the job of feeding the numerous stray cats on our small estate. Over the past year silly rumours about cats spreading Covid (Facebook - of course!) has meant that more...

Re: Out of touch - but alive & kicking
Hahahaha - nodded off & posted prematurely! To continue - serving as a 'Flic' with 'London's Finest'. As it is impossible to get a doctor's appt at present - other than a telephone consultation - I suggested that as her head is usually in 'a dark place' p'raps she could have a look around & ...
