  • Peak middle age guardian is surely submitting a column to the 'country diary'.
    Vomit inducing stuff.

  • The Guardian is a disgrace these days but we need something to cling to

  • In a list of medical checks you get just for being old, had an ultrasound scan on my aorta today. It was quite pleasant.

  • How did it sound?
    Spotify release under ASMR?

  • The Dowlings live in Acton.

  • Treat yourself to a Wests one thursday.
    if we amble down the Acton Swan,
    you will most probably be able to confront him in person.
    [Also he's married to the editor, so I presume this 'column' pays for the
    weekly Waitrose shop?]

  • Ha, had a bladder ultrasound this week, isn't aging brilliant

  • At least they aren't invasive or include layering toilet paper sheets in the wc.

  • So you’ve had a colonoscopy too?
    Great for losing weight.

  • Wait, what? How much weight? Where do I sign up? Is this how you got your username?

  • Don't worry I think that's next on thier list

    Bladder scan does have the fun of requiring a full bladder and then having to sit in reception while they are running late wondering how long you can sustain full bladder for

  • Did you get the tip off to wear Tena pads for those sneeze/cough moments?

  • The problem with middle age is that often means parents are old age.

  • Layering toilet is urgent after drinking the prep liquid.
    I think I lost three or four pounds in a few hours.

  • How do colonoscopies compare with cystoscopies? I can't say that I want one of those again in a hurry.

  • So you’ve had a colonoscopy too?

    Thankfully not, the layering was for collecting the stool sample

  • The problem with middle age is that often means parents are old age.

    Four of us in pub last night discussing dying and ill parents. Wished i'd stayed in

  • Upside of middle age: I have, over the previous two decades, acquired some really good looking suits for various special, sombre, celebratory or otherwise important occasions. (Golf club >>>>>>>>)

    Downside of middle age: I can't fit into the fucking things.

  • For mine I was totally sedated, so no bother at all.
    Anyone over 50 should definitely get one.
    You want to spot trouble before it is too late.

  • On the other hand, I think about how many people I have known who died or are in terrible shape, and consider myself lucky.
    I work with guys who drink heavily and consider themselves “manly”. They can barely walk from their oversize pickup truck to the locker room without wheezing. They ridicule me for riding a bicycle.

  • Ditto here for cycling wears :(

  • How do colonoscopies compare with cystoscopies? I can't say that I want one of those again in a hurry.

    Not had a cystoscopy but have had colonoscopy - it would have been fairly unpleasant I think but I was bollocksed on whatever jollop they gave me, so it was all just a bit awkward.

  • Joined a bowls club this afternoon.

  • Ordered some vari-focals on Friday

  • I'm trying to pretend I don't need them.
