A small victory, the creeping arthritis in me fingers, the up in the night for a pee, failing eyesight, more grey hair every month...what's not to like about getting old

When do I get me bus pass ?

You get your bus pass when your state pension kicks in.
I got mine last July, haven't used it yet!

I didn't like to mention the downsides

Bus pass? As Tony says

Chris.

Getting old can have its advantages, but I’m just getting over a knee replacement in the left leg , right one is pending, so it feels like one leg has got new suspension and stiffened whilst the other feels like it needs a progressive spring and new fork seals.I’m wondering if Mr Ditchfield could help me out here and Roger my legs…..”Stop it I know what you’re thinking” it may be quicker than the NHS. Ride Safe fellas.

A nice letter from the NHS came today...

Bowel cancer screening.

I will shortly be sent a testing kit to crap into & send off to some lab where a tech who probably spent many years at uni studding hard for exams to get a degree only to find the only job available is to test peoples crap...

Could be worse I suppose...Testing stuff at sewerage works, at least your indoors in a lab...

Already had the endoscope up the b um a couple of years ago. Cant remember why it just came in the post that I had an appointment. There was a polyp removed IIRC No sweetcorn was found...

I had the poo stick test too.
If you lived in Londonium you can get one of these too at 60

im just waiting on the bus pass to arrive atm. ..

You can get an over 60 rail card that gets you 30% off train tickets. Costs you about £30 to get it each year, but pays for its self after 2 trips to London.

Got me result letter yesterday... All clear no blood found in sample...

It comes with a proviso, apparently if the sample is clear it's not proof that you don't have bowel cancer...Then gives a list of symptoms to keep any eye on...

So daily poo checks it is then, I'll have to wear me specs to the WC...
