    The Footie Thread

    Just passed the Blues training ground and no sign of 'Wayne Rooney's side' either. A travesty they sacked Eustace to make way for a bigger name by Americans that know next to nothing about English football.

    Good to know I'm not in my seventies. I'm either in my seventees or seventiz. Why does the Geordie accent sound more Welsh than Scottish?

    Prostate Cancer

    I see my estimate of over 5 on the PSA is now out of date. It all depends on your age. https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/tests-and-scans/prostate-specific-antigen-psa-test?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4-e458u3gwMVGZZQBh1zswCiEAAYASAAEgJOn_D_BwE Mine rose to over 12 in...

    Prostate Cancer

    Apologies, I did not know you had surgery. I was only offered hormones followed 4 years later by radiotherapy. So I've still got the gland, but damaged by radiation.

    The Leicester accent comes in for stick, but did you know that the warring Anglo-Saxons and Vikings in Leicestershire helped shape modern English by putting aside their differences. Typical Leicester: Aya guwin uptaarn? - are you going to town? Eh up me duck - good day madam/sir

    Prostate Cancer

    I don't think 'undetectable' is the right word. It's more like under 5 and stable for 10 years following treatment. I don't think 'cured' is quite correct either. More like 99% gone. Just like to mention all the controversy over the PSA test, of which I've had about 20. If you believe some...

    Prostate Cancer

    Had a letter from the hospital yesterday about my prostate cancer. I've now been discharged back to the doctor for annual PSA tests. I came into the system in July 2007. So it's taken over 16 years to get me discharged. It was diagnosed as stage 4 which is the same as saying it was terminal...

    Black country yam-yam accent is one of the best because they were never taught the verb to be. As in I yam, we yam.

    Used to think that all Northerners drive Ka's. Now it seems they can't pronounce their R's. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-67832377

    Life, the universe, and everything.

    Easy way to understand this is when Heisenberg was pulled over by a cop for speeding. Asked if he knew what speed he was doing, he replied: No, officer. That's because I know exactly where I am. In the quantum, you can't measure both speed and position with accuracy. Only one or the other. The...

    Life, the universe, and everything.

    Apart from quantum physicists then. Did you read the full post #47 ? It is correct because of the nature of life in relation to the quantum uncertainty principle. It means there is no absolute time, place or motion. No past, no present, no future. All depends upon how sub atomic particles...

    Life, the universe, and everything.

    Now we're at the winter solstice it's as good a time as any to contemplate the meaning of life. With the sun seemingly being swallowed by the forces of darkness, past generations feared the worst. When the danger passed a few days later it was a time for a party. I think life means many things...
