    @Bones
    Genuinely pleased it's low grade C. Means I don't have to worry about calling out @MN5 's shitty memes on my own.

    .

    This cunting fluffybunny of a doctor had those very words written in front of her and decided that all she could leave me with was lymphoma, blood cancer.

    Feel for ya. Had that shit with Ms M2's heart. A week of worry as the Cardiologist was incapable of communicating heart arrhythmia was common, but temporary, in teenagers and just needed monitoring once a year.

    The upvotes tell a different story my friend, they can't all be accidental.

    I have arrhythmia, seems to rear its head the next morning after a heavy night on the spirits. It's a bit of a pain but very manageable.

    And I am delighted to actually officially have the title of fern cancer instead of it just being honorary.

    Sitting on the couch shaking and trying to sip a coffee *Bones ( not his real name ) sighs as he remembers the messages he sent in vain to All Black Coach Scott Robertson imploring him not to select Will Jordan ( one of the worlds premier wingers ) at Fullback.

    "I must have sent hundreds of messages a night" he laments. "Texts, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin.........I even got hold of Razors wife's details as I wasn't sure he was getting them, she didn't return any messages either which just made things worse"

    Rock Bottom hit, and it hit hard. Exasperated after a particularly shoddy display from Jordan at Fullback in the now historic loss to China-Taipei ( a bitter pill for Beauden Barrett to swallow in his 200th test ) Bones snapped......as a former top player who once marked Cory Jane in a club game he knew better than your typical arm chair critic. He felt he knew how to walk the walk......

    More to follow.......

    And the reason? Because somewhere in the past, some fluffybunny has sued someone for saying the thing they weren't meant to say.

    Good to hear you'll be continuing your unreasoned bias against Australia on here. I mean, how else would the rest of these lily-livered dweebs learn to stand up for themselves?

    I remember going for my restricted, my car broke down the day before the test, so I borrowed my mates. Only difference was the indicator and windscreen wipers were on opposite sides to mine, so I kept putting the windscreen wipers on by accident. I still somehow passed it, though I think it was easier to pass back then.

    Yeah they ping you for anything apparently. It's quite an effort to get it first time these days.

    ......and I stand by my belief that if someone grabbed me with no warning and made me do a restricted test I would 100% fail due to all the bad habits I've picked up over the years. Anyone who says different is a liar.

    I had to do the test to get US licence this year.... I VERY nearly failed. I got 82 points, 80 is the pass-mark. And I'm sure to this day that she cut the test short to help me not make the one final error which would have caused me to fail.

    I probably shouldn't admit how close I was to having a beer before the test to "take the edge off". The driving school was just down the road from "Chuck's Hop Shop - Home of a Thousand Beers"... and those thousand beers took a bit of a beating after the test.
    A little surprised the tester didn't turn up to help me celebrate.

    I think the Baron had that title.
    But sounds like you've earned it now... and pretty happy to hear it's at the lowest possible cost. Keep on Bones-ing.

    I've had a few basal cell carcinomas cut out. As cancers go, that's pretty damn good. Of course, a misspent youth under a hole in the ozone layer means those won't be the last. But I'm assured chicks dig scars.

    Yeah I'm not sure I buy that for over here, that sounds more like Seppoland and Wannabeseppoland. It was an appointment to give me my test results, so give them to me, don't pick the 3 worst words out and leave it at that. Unluckily it also happened to be the oncology nurse's day off, otherwise she would have grabbed me for a word and done the doc's job for her.

    Lucky I don't live in Tunbridge Wells anymore, otherwise there would have been a strongly worded letter about how disgusting it was.

    It was a very different story on Wednesday night. Weirdly the most daunting thing was the thought of having to tell nearest and dearest if the outcome wasn't good.
