Dave think I have seen the process on YouTube to do what Your talking about I am on a 4 weeks course of antibiotics for prostratetitus . I take Tamsulosin .but at the moment I could read a book while peeing 😀😀
Blimey - I hope that gets taken care of soon mate.
My younger brother had prostate cancer, was told he will die with it rather than die from it.
He's cut out vegetable oil and margarine etc and lots of other foods that apparently cause us inflammation so no more pasty's, white bread etc unless he makes it himself. He now uses beef dripping or lard for frying.
Also cereals that are sprayed off with weedkiller before harvesting. He's now clear of cancer at his last check up.
I've just checked my catheter drain bag - almost yellow urine now instead of redish pink.

If they are taking samples of the Prostrate to check for. Cancer they do it from up you back passage
Thanks for that John, I'm thinking its less of a sampling for cancer issue than clearing the prostrate lobes protruding into the bladder so the urethra path isn't restricted. Some Google results suggest that might be done with a laser through the urethra.
Perhaps I then wont need the Tamsulosin.

I had a camera up my dongle 10 days ago to investigate a 'potential something' that a scan showed up - after a practice nurse noticed I'd lost 18kg since my last annual review. Then came a MRI scan that showed a possible something in my bladder. I'm seriously peeved that they elected to investigate with a large rigid cystoscopy "just in case' something needed to be removed instead of a nicer smaller gentle flexible one for a looksee like I had a few years ago. A little thickening of the bladder wall was noticed but nothing needed to be taken away. The large camera size resulted in massive damage just inside my urethra that makes a catheter insertion intense agony - I'm guessing nerve ends got exposed or damaged: the surgeon claims it can't be damaged but he's not the one who screams if anything is introduced there.
Since then I've endured intense pain just inside my dongle and I've made it clear if the catheter needs replacing (again) it'll have to be done under sedation, which they say they wont do.The second catheter insertion attempt, in A&E because the first got blocked, would not get past prostate median lobe enlargements protruding into the bladder. I suffered a third one being put in with a wire brace to push past the prostate lobes. I screamed like a girl with that while two assistants restrained my hands to prevent me pushing it away. I cannot go through that again and the urology department don't allow a patient to return if there's any issue after 48 hours have passed.
Well I noticed the catheter was blocked again by 50 hours. If I was a good lad I'd have to go to the overworked A&E, bother them again with assessments etc before they send me back to the urology department at the different hospital by ambulance. Well I have some syringes from when I worked with fibreglass resin so I flushed it out myself using a little salt into boiling water that I then let cool down. I've cleared out substantial amounts of blood clots and other debri and its draining ok again. They put me on antibiotics which will hopefully deal with anything in the boiled tap water.
Before this episode I was weeing fine with the help of Tamsulosin with no urine retention or pain of any kind. I've looked at several online images of the male urethra path and there is no straight path into the bladder that I can see and can only assume the rigid camera/scope was rammed in and possibly shoved the prostate lobes a bit.
I now have to have a procedure that HRH possibly had - lobes removed from my prostate. If they do that through my urethra without general anesthetic I'd rather step in front of a train than take that pain again.

This is why we would have a major problem in this country.. If we need folks to fight our corner they need to be from people who love our country.
Exactly, there won't be as many patriots around given all the immigrants, ladyboys, boyladys,inbetweeners, eco warriors, etc.

I was told that was the plan by two Muslim lads forty years ago.
Copy/paste: Muslim supporters of polygamy often cite Quran verse 4:3, which instructs men to take as many wives as they can take care of, up to four, and they also point out that the Prophet Muhammad had multiple wives.
We pay them very well to outbreed us and to swell their army.

The 70 years old wife's 08 Nissan Note 'Privilege' renewal went from £360 to well over £500 with only 1 yr NCD, 3K miles per annum. They phoned a few days ago to sak why she hadn't renewed. I made a reply to the effect of insurance companies seem to think customers are mugs and that we went Tesco.
Confused .com produced a Tesco quote of £328...valid for one day only - we went with that and her Tesco points card brought it down to £280 starting 1st Feb.
I'm 72 with 9 years NCD, my 36K miles year 2000 Shogun Pinin (CAT C buy back with front bumper and OSF wing owner replaced), also 3K miles per annum.
MORE THAN premium was shocking - only £145.59 !!! Sadly they have ceased taking on motor insurance so there won't be a renewal invite from them - but another company will do so. I'm anticipating having to go compare again
Because that premium is so strange I include a photo of the policy schedule.

Yep well done to him - I reckon he looks older that 16 though.

Hello, the people i feel sorry for are our young generation who no doubt will see our country in a state of chaos if so many illegal immigrants are coming here in 5/10/15/20 years time and nothing is done to stop them, 🤔
That's already in progress as whites are being bred out. If I get on a bus around here at school times I'm often the only white person on a full bus.

On the BBC news it was calculated to be an extra £2 million in fuel costs per container ship 🤷🏻♂️
You would then split that per container.
Strewth! I seem to have miss-judged that issue.

Yeah what's 6000 give or take miles in the grand scheme of things
I've not measured the miles either way, only looking at the pathway of both doesn't look massively different - but with the suez canal getting ever busier and the current risk in its approach via the Red sea it doesn't seem too big a compromise for a UK deep port destination.

Houthis were warned but gambled 'we'd not risk further mid east action, if we din't back up the warnings they get emboldened.
I think the west did Europe's work for them in this matter. Ships coming direct to the UK from the far east aren't going massively further by coming clockwise round around South Africa than partially anticlockwise to get through Gibraltar straights. It's mostly Mediterranean destinations that are badly affected the with those in the east Med faring the worst.

hello, do you reckon the hot start helps Dave, arc welders have come on since the heavy oil cooled jobbies
I think they are a very big game changer in my very limited experience.

When using portable welders in the Army we had a "pie" box in the generator which was where you kept your rods and the occasional NAAFI pie, this box was kept warm so your rods didn't absorb any moisture while welding, you can place them on a radiator for a while to get the same effect, as ditcy has said , run on and off plates always a good idea.
And i would get a little book, write down all the information for each weld that works, metal size ,rods used, setting on machine, always handy.
That's very interesting - I keep a few rods in the bottom of our oven which gets used daily.
I'm slightly dyslexic and don't manage to always say what i think I'm saying.
I'll try again: when I use a new (pre dried out) rod at low amps it doesn't arc up cleanly and keeps sticking, spoiling the job. I found i had to try in another area first by dragging the rod until it would do what I wanted before returning to the weld area. Every time I changed rods I had the same issue. Using rods I'd cut in half only left me less than half a rod for the job. I eventually stopped cutting the rods and hold a full rod about half way along rather than the electrode holder/torch
I'm thinking it might be an idea to increase the hot start percentage feature which is preset at 30%.

And yet it seems .gov are about to commence another contract with Fujitsu.

I've just noticed on the top left in the photo of the welder how really modern it is - seems to be a fully woke one... its all inclusive... Lesbian Gay Bi Trans.

I'm starting to get into this a bit now - this new type of arc welder is far superior to my old transformer type that wouldn't get down to low enough amps to attempt any chassis welding. At this low 30 amps current and using its HOT START feature I found I had to 'warm' the 1.6mm rods off the target area before it would 'soft-arc' where I wanted it if that makes any sense. I welded some 1mm plate over the hole to make it level with an original overlap then welded a slimmer piec to join them up and fill any gaps.This was into the longitudinal box section inside the front wheel arch of a 2001 reg Shogun Pinin project car. I only had a couple of blowthroughs by using a quick touch on and off method to more or less spot weld around the plate. I let the Kurust I liberally applied to dribble through and behind any gaps to dry before applying underseal to seal the job.

Wonder if it's been skipped over because Palestinians seem to be allowed to do what they want over here as most orgs are afraid of upsetting them.
