And I am delighted to actually officially have the title of fern cancer instead of it just being honorary.
You always were a crabby bastard...
Keep an eye on stuff.co.nz for "Will Jordan put cancer in me"
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.......

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.
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.

Did pass the sobriety test ?

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.

@Bones Jesus fuck man! Glad to hear you’re ok fella
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.

You needn't have worried mate, we would have taken it well.

@Bones Jesus mate, sounds like a scary process, and yes, the way other people will react feels like a terrifying conversation to contemplate. Glad that its not as bad as it could have been, but i am still not sure i'd be ok with even a small version of the big word being used.
Seems like you have a great attitude, hope you're able to retain that positivity, can always come here for a moan, or a virtual hug and beer. Stay strong, stay positive boy.
-
@Dodge definitely a bizarre concept eh, had no idea there's blood cancer that people just live normally with as though it's not there, weird to get your head around and maybe I'm too quick to grasp at the positive as I accepted it pretty much straight away.
Probably helps that I was already in the c'est la vie headspace - not a lot I can do if it comes out bad, would just have had to face some hardship, no point crying about spilt ball by Will Jordan.

You haven't sat down and thought through the consequences of mn5 freely posting memes without my checks and balances.

I look up to @MN5 , I wish I could post memes like he does. Girls throw their underwear at him because of his status in the meme community. Imagine what he could achieve without you holding him back.

OK, I have a genuine problem. A friend has lung cancer and I've been driving her to scans, chemo sessions etc. for the last year. More than happy to help.
Her next scan is at 15:50 next Saturday - when we are playing Wales. Is this an ask too far?

Fully explaining why you can't go.

Yeah, but she needs company. And it's only Wales
