Last night, I went to the doctor's because of pain in my nether regions. I like my new doctor. She's middle-aged and very Scottish. She diagnosed the ache as a water infection, and I am now on a course of antibiotics. Case closed, yes?
Nope. Apparently "because of my age", she felt she had to throw in a prostate exam. Jaysus. Last year I had my very first prostate exam, and it was a bit of a shock. Mainly because my previous doctor didn't feel it was necessary to tell me he fecking intended to have a good rummage around inside my rear end. All I heard was the snap of latex gloves, which was swiftly followed by a fairly comprehensive fingering. This time round, the doc actually told me what she intended to do, so I was fully fecking prepared for it. No prostate problems, as it turns out. Anyway, I spent the rest of the evening farting medical lube into my shorts.
Younger men: this is what you have to look forward to once you get into your thirties. Enjoy.
I am a thrill-ride junkie, and I have been given permission to take my 11 year old nephew to Alton Towers next week to introduce him to the joy of shitting yourself with fear on big, scary rides. My sister is looking increasingly concerned by this, which probably isn't helped by the little boy insisting that they watch rollercoaster videos on Youtube every 5 minutes.
I am DEFINITELY taking him on this one - it's a classic:
When I was a teeny, tiny boy, there was a BBC show in the UK, called "Jim'll Fix It". It basically involved kids writing in to an aging radio DJ called Jimmy Saville so he could "fix it" for them to live out their wildest dreams. I'd like to say at this point, that the bastard never fixed ANYTHING for me. Despite all the letters I sent to him via the BBC demanding to meet Darth Vader. He did however fix it for a group of Cub Scouts to eat their lunch, while riding a looping rollercoaster called the Revolution:
Love it.
Richard Dawkins is starting a season of TV shows over here. The first one is going to be all about faith schools, and the fact that one in three schools in Britain is now run on a faith-based curriculum. This inevitably means that there are plenty of kids out there being taught that evolution is a load of old bollocks. Not very healthy, eh?
More information hereabouts:
faith school shenanigans
I need a cup of tea and a crumpet. So I shall get busy in the kitchen.

Thank you so much

It could be worse, it could be the 1800s. Back then you'd be getting a burning hot turnip to the nuts, or a leech or something.
