It is officially a whopper at 110cc.
The good news is, no sign of cancer.
Virtual beers on me.

Wait 'til I knock one out. It'll be huge load off me prostate.
Too much..?
On a more serious note, he's now happy that he can map the prostate with the MRI, along with the camera exam from a few weeks back, and he's only gonna shave the middle bit (median lobe), hopefully with less collateral damage and lasting side effects when he does the TURP, which is scheduled for Jan.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
The lady who runs this place is amazing
Speaks fluent French and Spanish.
She loves to chat, so I start in Spanish but soon revert to French
She lived in Cadaques as a kid. She lived in one country but got the boat to the school in the other country. Cool
And at meal times she plonks bottles of red on a couple of tables and then fills up other table's glasses as appropriate
No-one cares about the bill as it's so cheap

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Wondering what to have for lunch, when around comes sister-in-law with copious sausage sandwiches, made with proper bread doorsteps, for her boyfriend who is doing some decorating at Chez Gremlin. Way too many for him to eat.
And some homemade rocks cakes.
I think she's trying to impress him with her domestic goddess routine. Worked out well for me.

Well, he didn't just say that! He said "cake and, err" and so after me trying to work out what the err was, he finally said it -
"Everything is better with cake and a blowjob"
(we were talking about a friend that did me a favour so I'm going to make him cake!! Not about my boss! )Bloody hysterical - even more so this morning when I told him to tell my colleague and he was too embarrassed to repeat it in front of her
So I told her (cos she has the same sort of sense of humour as me! )

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
When I went out to meet friends for dinner, it was snowing a smidge, but I could also see the almost full moon!
Came out of the restaurant a couple of hours later to find that there is no full moon to be seen, but tis definitely snowing

In about 2001 I went to France with Dodgy and Whitebird. WB has gone completely missing. Even the VD FB group don't know what happened to him after his Irish sojourn.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Taking my KTM wheels to the powdercoaters, the guy I spoke to a couple weeks ago said £70 - £80 per wheel. I told the lady receiving them that I would pay cash and had no need for an invoice.
" Can I pay now, I have cash in my wallet ?"
" Yes love, is £80 OK "
