Big fat Karl sacked again🤣🤣

Hahaha!!!

Tom SW I hadn’t realised that there was such a strict dress code to get into bingo

Didn't he shave his head because he went to Mecca?

Alan - it looks odd, probably a bit like when Roy Keane or David Beckham did it - I remember thinking how much better Sajid Javid looked when he grew a beard.

I dun know, its a bold decision...

Haha there comes a point where men should just admit their receding hairline and monk’s tonsure (that’s not a euphemism) and just whizz it all off with a buzz cut…

Bloody hell, nick. See what you mean.

That wonderful Mr Khan our esteemed mayor hasn’t done himself any favours with his new look😂😂

If anyone is interested, we have an OS story, a goals and highlights video, around 50 or so clips, and around 100 photos from the WAWF fundraising game: [Link] [Link] [Link] Enjoy!

*a bit

OI and Alan - indeed, it is a choice for the individual, but equally, having a PSA test may result in someone finding their level is a it high (as in my case), and unless it’s super high, going onwards to having an MRI and then a biopsy is a personal choice. I decided to have that, and I’m glad I did - if your biopsy shows there are cells present, only then is it big decision time… Fortunately in my case it’s active surveillance rather than surgery - this is in many ways the best of all outcomes, as I get regular PSA blood tests and MRI scans, whereas if (as may happen in future) they just said “that’s fine, go away and live your life”, any change in the level would go unnoticed, potentially leading to a more dangerous escalation of one’s condition. But you’re completely right, it’s a personal decision.

Ah travel insurance! It's been a right mare since my own cancer diagnosis. Thought I'd cracked it with Direct Line who were willing to leave consequences of the cancer out of the policy. But then they stopped doing travel insurance.

OI, I don't disagree with that, other than the test should be done, but with the caveat that in discovery a vulnerability shouldn't automatically mean that surgeries are necessary. But then those same people can be monitored on a watch and wait basis.

Garry Mabbutt always came across as a Gentleman even after Fash destroyed his face.

It is weighing up pros and cons a4e. At the moment for every life saved, 6 men have unnecessary surgery that impacts their lives. I'm at an age where I'd be far more likely to die with prostate cancer than die of it. Decision for each individual

Also, this is a bit worrying - let’s hope they don’t decide to restrict prostate cancer checks [Link] The article (and media reports generally about this) suggests that there actually is a screening programme - there isn’t; you need to ask your GP for a PSA blood test… They can be a bit resistant to granting this, but if you have any of the typical symptoms (even if you aren’t in one of the more high risk groups), just be persistent, and they should allow you to have the test. I’d urge any of you on here of around 55 or over to go and get a PSA test done, especially if you’re regularly getting up for a pee in the middle of the night.

Bobby davro was in the eight bells in ewell a couple of weeks ago.get well soon

Spartan - hopefully he will be OK, provided it’s an early diagnosis - he’s the same age as me, so if it’s been found early enough, it should be something to live with rather than die from… Best wishes to him as well as to Dalglish and Keegan.

Bobby Davro has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Copied from social media, not fact checked: "Though Spurs fans have little to shout about this season, they can all be incredibly proud of this. Club legend Gary Mabbutt has made it his personal mission to check in on elderly fans on their birthday. He’s been doing this for the past 6 years… And last night, he made his 20,000th call."

Trig - the ASLEF staff have taken to this like a duck to water. If TFL try to make it compulsory - THEN maybe RMT might reasonably strike.

Fair enough. Wonder how long the voluntary bit will last though.

TFL is effectively us. The operating surpluses get ploughed back but still don't cover the cost of major improvement projects so if the income gets lowered, we make up the shortfall.

Trigs - I disagree. I think the vast majority of the tube travelling public consider this particular dispute as entirely confected by the RMT. The 4-day week is voluntary. If drivers prefer 5-day working, they are unaffected. The reaction of ASLEF to me shows how wrong the RMT have this, yet still they keep digging.
