18.19 Wrong again.

[naomi24]

What are you moaning about then?

[nicebloke1]

If you want to call it moaning fine. I call it my view.

[naomi24]

So what's your 'view'?  I have no idea what you're talking about and I'm not convinced anyone else does either.

[jourdain2]

Anglicans - Holy Communion can be given anywhere by a vicar.  The King's local vicar probably went to visit him.

 

[jno]

yeah, King Misses Church isn't exactly the story of the day (I see poor Fergie's picked up another cancer). Reminds me of a headline I saw on a 50s broadsheet

Macmillan

Has

A Cold

[Peter Pedant]

I'm not convinced anyone else does either.

er please resist the temptation to speak on my part either as Naomi or a mod ( the senior pree says you go around in two parts a little like gaul ( in duo partes divisa est)

thanks for the reminder of Anglican ritual Jord. I went to a protestant university - but it was a long time ago

The prots allow for prayers fr the monarch - seems worth a go now

I'm happy that my prostate is enlarged but benign.  🙂  Frequent check ups and many drugs

[Peter Pedant]

Macmillan has  A Cold.

In 1962 Macmillan's illness - prostatism which led to his downfall - was widely thought to be satyriasis

( induced by a love of going to bed with young ladies - late teenagers. This at the time was thought to lead to prostate problems) (" Mac was an inveterate liar, you know" Lady RAB) and that was the end of the Gt Man's Career

[Peter Pedant]

I dont have one: ( pelvic radiation)  - the men who do seem to have a helluva time at night

[Peter Pedant]

Well no. He'd be weeing all the time .

I am certain you can wee and pray at the same time.

( er old joke, vomiting and prayinng at the same time -  "Oh my god....bleeeeueuch")

[Peter Pedant]

Prostate-wise. I think if the diagnosis is cancer you will be treated one way or another pretty quickly (on the NHS).

so complex, not even Sqad RIP knew the answer to that one.

The big blood test - - - wasnt as big as they thought. so mild cases ( not the King) were over-treated. 

[andres]

Robotic prostatectomies have been carried out  for some time.  Nowadays the yearly number is around 5,000.

[jno]

ah, PP, you think the "cold" might really have been sniffilis?

[andres]

And now,as jno has already pointed out ,Fergie has got an aggressive form of skin cancer. 

[barry1010]

Fergie is a prime candidate for skin cancer sadly - red hair and pale skin.  I wish her well, she might be a bit batty but I think she's a good egg

[davebro3]

probly spent a lot of time sun bathing too - it's a hard life!

[newmodarmy]

I'm surprised you read the Mail Hymie but I suppose it's for research purposes so you can moan about it. And it's a double win if you can have a go at the royal family. Just a shame there's no Brexit angle for you.

[naomi24]

Fergie has had a rough time lately and I wish her well, poor lady.  I agree with Barry.  She's a scatterbrain but not such a bad person.

[Khandro]

I've been through it & it isn't fun, the poor man will now have a tube up his willie attached to a bag strapped to his thigh.

No laughing matter, and why shouldn't he say his prayers?
