    According to an expert in the field, if a doctor can diagnose a potential issue by shoving a finger or two up your arse, it's too late. They've developed a procedure to target spots on the prostate highlighted by MRI because even a normal biopsy may not identify a problem.

    They check for Prostate Cancer markers in routine blood tests these days. An enlarged prostate isn't as reliable check for potential cancer according to my GP.

    My Mrs does this, got a special bin for 'soft plastics' which she will dutifully take down to the supermarket for their plastic recycling.

    For a while there I thought you were taking about testing for prostate cancer..

    I have turned down my missus more times this year then I have in the previous 23 years of our relationship, never thought I would see this day. Sometimes I'm just too tired and want to go to sleep. I'm assuming I must be alone or is anyone else drive diminishing as they age?

    Yep. So I asked the chemist for some viagra but didn't have a prescription. I showed him a picture of my wife. Got six months supply.

    have a word with yourself.

    The one you turn down is the one you miss out on.

    Apologies guys but if memory serves certain discussions involving particular penetrative acts could get tsf in trouble with the Google Staatssicherheitsdienst. So its gotta be super tenuous and vague and if you can't read between the lines that's on you.

    Now if you'll excuse me its garbage collection tomorrow so I'm going to busy myself separating the recyclables and wheeling the bins out ..if you get my drift.

    @Bones insert bin day gif quick!!!

    I turned the wife down down once in the last 2 decades, on principle. And typing that out makes it sound even more stupid than it was at the time.

    She had been out with her friends (I was looking after the kids) and was a little tipsy when she got home i.e. raring to go. Now, The Red Baron was in town at this point. Noting that had been used as her excuse multiple times to halt my amorous advances in the past decade, I decided to take a stand - on principle.

    I should add that I didn't simply turn her down; tried to secure a blowjob before the main act, but she wasn't going to budge on that so I walked away from negotiations.

    In my defence, her friend was sleeping in our spare room, and I was just smart enough to avoid asking if her mate might be interested in helping sway my decision.

    firstly, that single-word last line made me sad

    Fun thread to scroll through.

    In no order:

    1st Jobs - like many I had the pamphlet/paper run. I remember getting $4.50 for the Sunday morning paper (they fired me when my delivery count fell from 20-odd initially to 4) and $17 per week for the 6-day per week Evening Standard. Mowed a lot of lawns (badly). I also worked at Pak'n'Save for $3.63 / hr for a while, and I remember feeling so rich when I got a job at Maccas for $7.50.

    Turning down the wife? Have thought about it, never managed it.

    Memory? Definitely fading, maybe that's for the best

    Pee in the night? Yeah, 70% of the time between 4-5am, bloody annoying

    Music - hardly listen to the radio, all Spotify stuff (enjoying "Early Alternative" right now). Don't actually mind Dance Monkey (her live performance at Splendour was awesome and it still blows me away that she is a white Aussie bogan not a small girl from South America), but fcking hate the way every single decent song has to be re-made by someone with a slight shitty twist. Just leave it alone!

    Grumpiness - where do I start? People who have no sense of personal space, wandering around with their head in their phone. When people (mostly female) walk right around you to get in a lift ahead of you. Any time some cnt cuts in front when you're driving and doesn't give you a courtesy wave. I actually reckon you could ram your car into mine and set off my airbags and I'd be OK with it provided you gave me a wave.

    oh i missed the first job bit.

    From as early as i can remember i worked in dad's factory for pocket money at best. Was still doing that over uni summers until i was 20 i reckon

    Pamphlets was my first. I got fired from that for missing too many deliveries. I had the New World coupons in a retiree area, so those biddies used to ring up if they didn't get them. What really offended me is i never even dumped, i legit did that job so fuck knows why they weren't getting them. 500-odd pamphlets a week.

    Mobil forecourt which was pretty sweet.

    Best one was cleaning a bakery. Worked around sport, full-time available over holidays if i wanted. Basic baking duties sometimes. Food at the end of every day. Mint

    I remember when Dad retired and was only play golf (Retired around 55) and going to the beach house, he wanted to show me that you had to work for money and that any job is a good job.

    So when I was about 14 or 15 he took me to a night job packing boxes in a warehouse (books I think) and it was only supposed to be for 2 hours per night. After the first night we never went back and he basically said find something you like and do it.

    It must have been the most torturous 2 hours he had ever worked. Big ups to him for trying to teach me a valuable lesson.

    First job: family farm - shearing shed to be precise. Didn't get paid for that really, tho dad did take us to a nearby farm for my first tax paying job when I was 14. Hot. Owner was a dickhead and didn't treat his sleep for lice, so the wool was total crap to work with.

    Fuck all that. It's why I bludge in an office for a living. Every time I get frustrated with the political corporate shit, I look at the brickies building houses in searing heat, and think about the farm.

    @NTA yeah, fuck working outside in this country, it's ridiculous

    Qld Govt looking to bring in legislation (driven by unions) that will force tradesmen to stop work if the temp hits 28, or the humidity 75%. So for 9 months of the year in Cairns then

    It was 28 degrees as i drove to work at 7.40 this morning.
