Signs of growing old

What a PC Twat like me.... How very dare you?

 

Was that your nickname when you were a police constable?

 

Walked the Yorkshire 3 Peaks about three years ago and it was the toughest physical thing I've done. By the time I got to the third (Ingleborough) every single muscle in my body had seized and locked up. Took me about 45 minutes to climb it - pausing for about a minute between each and every step!!
It was also a dreadful weather day so when I finally got to the first (false) summit I thought I'd done it.....only to walk a few further yards and see another sharp ascent appear out of the clouds at the top. So demoralising!! Did the whole thing in 11 hours. I'd never manage an Iron Man challenge though....

 

No they wouldn't let me in because I insisted truncheons were male chauvinistic phallic symbols.

 

Oo er missus

 

No, that was PC Nesbit's nickname.

 

Best word in that sentence is THINKING .. leave it there and move on

 

I'm just gonna post my underpants to 'em.

That way they get 4 samples in one go.

Stool, urine, semen and blood.

 

Aren't you post-menopause?

 

I think the tests only work if they're your bodily fluids, not someone else's.

 

And then that ridiculous downhill bit after the summit of Ingleborough, which seems to go on and on.

 

When I got to the Ingleborough downhill bit it was pissing down with thunder and lightning, but as the end, and the prospect of a pint, got closer the walking (or sliding) seemed to get easier

 

Church of England mate.

 

I lean towards logical positivism and logical empiricism myself.

 

Best thread of the year this ... I turned into victor Meldrew more or less over night. Now I'm a reet grumpy old bastard. Still got a sense of humour though, thank ****.

 

I sold this Makita cordless power drill in the local paper. And then six months later, I received the very same one back as a Christmas present from my brother-in-law, minus the power pack.

 

Reading or posting on threads about signs of growing old.

 

No you don't.

 

In Aus. currently people are asked do the test at age 70. Wife did hers a few years ago when stool samples were put into a small plastic bags and posted away for analysis.

With me an investigative colonoscopy back in the early 90's detected a couple of potential cancer growth spots and I have had a colonoscopy at 2-3 year intervals ever since.

Prostrate examinations stopped for me some 12 years ago when a steep rise in a yearly PSA test followed by a biopsy found cancer leading to surgical removal of the prostrate.
