I'd like to confirm I was misinformed about the death of @Clb74.
He is recovering very well after the removal of his appendix.

No worries Elfs. The kind of mistake anyone could make.

Do you still take calls on the side for that NHS 111 service?
This morning I found I had no pulse, no heartbeat and an award winning boner. Do you think my appendix might be playing up?
 
Didn't mean to annoy anybody.
Elfs did you genuinely think Clb74 was dead? I thought your remarks to that effect were tongue-in-cheek.
I didn't mean to imply that an appendix operation isn't serious.

Apologies if that post was taken the wrong way by anybody. It was not meant in a bad way <sorry>

Does anybody know why we have an appendix in the first place?

I read somewhere that the appendix is the last vestige of a part of the digestive system that can break down cellulose (a tough part of the structure of most plants).
Grazing animals (grass eaters) like cows can digest cellulose, and their equivalent of the appendix is a huge and vital part of their digestive system.

Humans cannot digest cellulose, but the fact that we still have the vestige of part of the gut that could once digest it would indicate that we have evolved from an earlier kind of animal - an ancient primate presumably - that could digest grass.
Apparently some of the species of early human-like Apes could eat bamboo and probably other types of grasses.

to cause great expense to the NHS without a reason and to enable people with nothing else wrong with them to experience care in the system.

When I went onto the not606 league one main page I thought at first this thread was in advance of Saturday and our next trouncing..................phew thank goodness it isn't yet.
