I’ve been in the most dreadful pickle of late and finally decided it was time to visit the Doctor so I went down to the local surgery this morning and registered. After being processed – this included giving a urine sample - I got to see a rather appealing young nurse and female doctor. Excellent.
After coming home, I phoned a friend and told her the story. One concern I had was that they had found proteins in my urine sample. I asked the nurse and Doctor about it and they said something about possible liver related problems but it’s probably nothing. I quizzed them a little more…and a little more but they just smiled more and more, mostly at each other. I gave up after they said they wanted a follow up “mid stream” sample in a months time (sounds quite challenging). When I told my friend she said “Have you had sex or a wank this morning ?”
Apparently, these things get all mixed up in one’s plumbing. No wonder I hate going to the damn quack !! Anyone else got any embarrassing medical stories to help ease my discomfort ?
p.s. I’m now on fairly strong medication for the next few days and will therefore make even less sense than normal.
I had a cathetar once, but I’ve managed to block out most of that memory. If it will make you feel any better, I’ll go under hypnosis to try and remember the whole horrid incident.
And let’s not forget the famous “nurses arguing over TinyTot’s hair color before he emerged from the birth canal” story. Good lord! It was weird to have so many people staring so intently up my vagina…no wonder nothing embarasses me anymore.
Hope everythings okeydokey with the waterworks LC. Count yourself lucky you could have had Hattie Jacques.
MATRON:…I don’t believe in free love!
London Calling:…Well I don’t believe in paying for it!
MATRON:…No, I mean… I want to be WOOED
London Calling:…Oh, you can be as wude as you like!!!
…will SOMEONE please explain the ‘kenneth williams’/Matron/shower references to the ‘British-impaired’ among us??? I’ve heard of Terry Thomas, but what does he have to do with all this? I have no idea what you people are talking about.
Please?
which might not be entirely inappropriate given the present company.
Anyways chaps and Taters, the tablets are kicking in nicely and I’m almost damn sure the girl at the local bank is interested in a small deposit. Must dash…
<Sid James chuckle>:D :D</Sid James chuckle>
<T.T.>Ding Dong !!</T.T.>
actually, they really are kicking in. Considering not posting for a short while.
C’mon!!! If Homer can post on 'shrooms, we need LC posting on Prescription Highs!!!
Post! post! post!
Well, I’m off for the weekend, I have to pick my bike up from the shop, and spend all tomorrow driving around town offering attractive ladies “a ride”
[t.t.]Ding Dong![t.t.]
They are actors in the “Carry On” series of films, made betewen (IIRC) the sixties and seventies, in the UK with the odd reunion film in the nineties. About thirty were made in all.
The cast consisted of the same core of actors each time, the scripts consisted of the same core of jokes each time. Basically they were slightly risque films based in different scenarios (carry on doctor, carry on up the khyber, carry on camping etc.) where entendre and smut were king.
The main characters, as i recall; Sid James - bit of a lad, eye for the ladies, dirtiest laugh in christendom; Hattie Jacques - prim large lady who was the butt of many a joke; Barbara Windsor - well developed blonde, and therefore generally subject of Sid James’ (qv) attention; and of course Kenneth Williams - an effeminate, slightly aristocratic type with an accent that made the Queen sound like a cockney.
They are re-broadcast on holidays and feast days and generally have a place in the hearts of us Brits who were raised on them. Recently they have been given a retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and therefore its ok to discuss them in a postmodern, postfeminist kind of way, but most of us just remember the scence where Babs Windsor is doing aerobic exercises and her bra pops off.
Thank you for the info, longjohn.
:hands over a handkerchief:
Are these available on video (VHS format) or any website devoted to the series? I am intrigued, and maybe I can understand all the other quotes being bandied about.
