The worst thing (in Aus) must be getting that that test kit for bowel cancer when you're 50. Must be hard enough hitting the half ton without having to send some of your poo in the mail.
Harder still is actually getting it in the jar!

@antipodean yeah the finger test has been overtaken by PSA so I did that the other day. Results to the urologist and away we go in a couple of weeks.
Yay.
Had an oncologist provide a talk last year on prostate health and the limitations of current testing methods. To address that they've developed an imaging based biopsy method as normal biopsy is like trying to hit a pinata in a 747 hanger.

I get my bloods done every year, PSA, cholesterol etc
Getting old sucks.

The algorithm approach to identifying cancers etc. should help with this. Take all the experience of the specialists, all the tests you can lay your hands on, and feed them into the box with the blinking light on it.

I fucking hate IT fluffybunnies who change the way apps etc look and work. It seems I just get used to way an app works and where to find everything and some arse hole decides to change things during an update.
Stop changing things!!!

I’m amazed the fern has taken this long to descend into a cycling war.
Where’s @SammyC to go into bat for the 🚴♂️ ?
Last we heard he went off to Mexico and got caught up in a drug cartel

Ohhh yes. I can take that one step further - secret updates that you don't know about and mean that you get calls from your staff saying that "nothing works". The eftpos people do it, the retail sofware people do it, our head office do it, etc, etc.
If you are going to change something bloody tell me so that I know who fucked the system up!

Have we done queues yet? Any queue, all queues. Fuck queues.
Speaking of queues, when I first moved to Australia, I found it odd that the person at the counter would always say "next please". I'm thinking do Australians not know how the fuck a queue works, I can clearly see when it is my turn, I don't need to be told.

Its the same with the checkout chick/dude who scans your last item the says "will that be all"?
Oh, actually, now that you mention it, maybe I'll duck back to isle 7 and grab another 6 pack of bog paper.

@chimoaus I live in the land of queuing, you'd be astonished how many times the person at the front is standing there fucken gormless when it's their turn. Then they get to the counter and dig around for their wallet for 5 minutes...oh what a surprise I have to pay.

They're asking if you want cigarettes which are hidden storage, so that's not so bad. Or cash back

@Victor-Meldrew that's the one. Did a urine test as well just for fun.
For a general test I had to supply samples of semen, urine and pooh. “Fuck it” says Mrs Cato, “just send them a pair of your pants”.
-
@Catogrande at least she didn't say a pair of hers.
Btw kiwi forum means pants are longs...

Drivers who accelerate to overtake a lorry and then slow right down as they go past said lorry meaning you can't pass.
What the fuck are they doing? Counting the wheel nuts?
