I should add thad STD has its own seperate entrance

You are also getting even older when you question what do telephones have to do with it.

Subscriber Trunk Dialling, of course. What else?

It can only get worse, went for a PET scan last week so I took the cat

When you hear a young girl aged about five mixing up TV adverts and singing the word Vodaphone to the Toblerone song....and being annoyed by it...

Alternatively, just go for a SCAN:

Senior Citizen's Afternoon Nap.

i Like that, it’s all becoming clear now, as part of the pet scan the afternoon nap is compulsory.

so I turn up for my PET scan, get radioactively infused, have my SCAN for an hour then lie on a hard bed for twenty mins while the CAT scanner scans me then I can have a cup of tea and get into my MHEV and go home.

(and no, I did not glow in the dark)

One of the signs of having reached a certain age as a man is when visits to the GP involve the GP donning gloves to give you  that sort of examination.

Due to me reaching that age a fair while ago I’ve had the dubious pleasure of quite a few of these examinations. Two particularly stick in my mind.

The first one was by the consultant Urologist, a very friendly ex rugby playing Welshman. He had fingers like sausage rolls. After withdrawing he proceeded to tell me how heavy my prostate was. ‘How can you tell that’ I asked. He replied ‘When you’ve had your finger up as many backsides as I have, you just know..’

The second was by a very strict looking lady who reminded me of my school biology teacher back in the 1960’s. She was a spinster who had one of those evil smiles which meant you were in trouble. I think she took great pleasure in inflicting discomfort. She certainly wasn’t as quick as the consultant Urologist

Are you sure that it wasn't a CAT scan.
And I took the dog for some LAB tests.

When you have more recycled blue or green pharmacy prescription paper bags than carrier and assorted plastic bags together.

edit: also applicable to those unfortunate enough to need multiple regular medications but much more common for pensioners of 'normal' health.

I'm 73 in June and to celebrate I'll be attending the Glastonbury Festival. My highlights will all be older than me: Neil Young (79), Rod Stewart (80) and The Searchers (combined age 320-plus), but I'm afraid it might be my last. There's only so much fun to be had in camping in a muddy field surrounded by ketamine-addled teenagers!

That is dedication -- I doff my hat to you, sir!
