One of my jobs for some years was picking poo put of a chaps backside !!! Not sad I don't do it anymore ...
Next time you see someone tombstoning off a cliff into water just remind them they will have to do that for years afterwards if they get paralysed!!
“Is the bottom falling out of your world? Take Picolax, and the world will fall out of…”I’ve had Picolax in the past - two glasses of liquid explosive.

You think you're kidding, don't you?Someone at Channel 4 has just had a great idea for a new series ...

The infamous ‘Doctor*’ Gillian McKeith. Turns out she wasn’t just analysing it but talking it. The Tory Party wanted her as an advisor in much the same gross error of judgement as appointing Sir Philip Green as efficiency tsar- efficient at trousering the till contents.'Live Streaming ...'.
Actually, I think there was an 'analyse your poo' programme on C4 a while back with some nutty woman dietician.
Two words. Psyllium Husk. Should have tried it years ago.
Total hell is when it starts out, then gets stuck fast. I know.
Great stuff - I have it every morning as part of my breakfast. It's very low carb., mostly just fibre, and excellent for filling you up. I was recommended it as part of my Keto-type diet, not for constipation, but it sure keeps you regular!
The problem with using Fybogel or similar fibre-intense product to treat constipation is that whilst it works very well for some types of constipation, it can exacerbate a problem.
Is that right? Amazing the things you can still learn when you have turned 65. In fact I’m not sure I’ve ever paid for a prescription - I think I was too young to pay for the last one. I remember a doctor telling me to take something about twenty years ago, but saying they were cheaper over the counter than with a prescription. Some kind of painkiller, probably.Ah but, presumably you get 'free' prescriptions? - one of the few advantages of being over 60 is this 'perk'.
A friend of mine used to say that about real ale...“Is the bottom falling out of your world? Take Picolax, and the world will fall out of…”
Looks like it’ll be changing to line up with state pension age.Ah but, presumably you get 'free' prescriptions? - one of the few advantages of being over 60 is this 'perk'.
It's always been a mess.
For e.g., certain groups such as diabetics always qualified for free prescriptions at any age,as did others in certain pretty tightly defined groups, and those on certain benefits.
Whereas people requiring long term cardio meds.. like myself..could end up paying for four or five items a month..which adds up. For the last few years before I qualified for freebies, I bought those 'pre payment certificates', which could be had for either 3 or 12 months and currently cost approx £30 and £100 respectively.

Age related deafness is no longer part of the NHS I discovered this afternoon.
I now need a new referral to ‘Specsavers’ or Scrivens ffs.
The bill is paid for by the nhs, but I’m betting the quality of the devices goes down the pan.
Free batteries and device testing still available for now.

It can go either way. Technology advances. Competition spurs delivery of beneficial innovation. Protected markets, on the other hand, spur only cost cutting for the provider.my parents indicate the quality of devices has increased massively
