RiffRaff Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I sent my shite to Dundee last week, got an "all is good" letter today and an invitation to send more in two years. A grand system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A grand system. Been asked for a sample on a regular occurrence. Never done it. Just can’t bring myself to put it in an envelope and post it. I know, I know, it’s in my own interest to do it, there’s just something stopping me. Sending your shite in the post? I know I should. Maybe it’s just the idea of sending shite via the Royal Mail. Maybe it’s just a bit too personal for my generation. I’ll think about it and maybe do it next time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing to it. I've be sending off samples for years. My (at the time symptomless) cancer was diagnosed on the foot of a blood sample to check out a chest infection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send one big shite in a box and tell them to take bit out of it every two years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your tests are different from over here it’s less than a grain of rice x 2 samples they need. Keep number one in the fridge until you do number two number two. Stick them in the bag and post. Be thankful you’re not the one opening the mail. We have free screening every 2 years from age 50 to 74. Did my most recent at the start of this month and all clear. Get it done! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Believe it or not, some 'boffin' has actually thought of the practicalities of this, and has invented a device that ensures neither the sender nor the recipient gets crap on their fingers. Unless they're an absolute cretin, obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 My mum used to work in a health centre. One day a guy came in with a stool sample. In an ice cream tub full to the brim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm never calling it Lent again, it's now The Mark Whalberg 40 Day Challenge. A rebrand we should all get behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I've just been in a meeting where someone used the phrase "all off the southern". I thought I was either going mental or the person in question is a complete moron. A colleague more familiar with the person who said it has confirmed that while the former may be true, the latter certainly is, and, yes, this person regularly says "all off the southern" instead of "all of a sudden". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
