I'm really sorry for anyone with this condition, however a few years ago I was in a serious condition with the big C of the bladder (all is well now thank God). I needed to do a pee test and the hospital gave me 2 litres of water to drink prior to tests. Needless to say the tests were delayed but the pee was imminent.

Finally and in desperation, I was invited to pee in a special toilet with a small flask underneath to measure the result. Having a look at the flask it was under capacity :oops:

When the results were in, the doc called me to his consulting room and said that my results were encouraging but that after an exhaustive and extensive pee the flow had suddenly stopped and then after a moment started again. He was worried about my prostrate!! I smiled and told him that I had been more concerned about the size of his pot and had stopped peeing, checked the level of the piss pot and when all was good started again :D

After the doc always referred to my bathroom ability being similar to a racehorse :D

Long may this continue :cheers:

You know you're old when you think "Alarm 1202" would make for a darn good movie - on par with Tom Hanks "pollo 13"

The guy who cracked Alarm 1202 was 26 year old mathematician then. He is 73 today.

Which reminds me---- Do NOT try to be COOL if you are over 50 Except if you are one of the RS, when of course you don't have to try, you just are.

At Christmas dinner I explained to my kids that when I was young our pudding contained a silver threepenny bit, what`s a threepenny bit, they asked, it`s a bit like sixpence I replied, what`s a sixpence they asked!!!
And that would have been about 30 years ago.

and yet I heard a commentator say about a very agile football player--He can turn on a sixpence.
And a Lancashire friend tells me that the saying --You daft ha'pouth is still used.
