Try finding a Police Station, let alone one that opens outside 9-5. Needed to take driving licence etc in to them...where the f*** are they nowadays?! 

Correct Roy, unfortunately their time is taken up by people suffering from mental problems, and acting social workers trying to sort out the “ problem families “. A relative of ours ( female social worker) when visiting a certain area in a local city, cannot go without police being in involved.

Apart from the penalty/non-penalty decision which I think he got wrong, I thought the ref yesterday was excellent. Let most physicality go and the game was better as a result.

Time wasting was a problem he did little about.

Could have tightened up on the time wasting.

If we are to fail, better now than in the playoffs.

We've overplayed our better players (Mcgoldrick, Mendez laing, Knight, Cashin..).

This has resulted in them either getting injury or losing form - Mendez Laing was on fire early season.

It's the fact Collins, White, Springett etc are not taking the chance when given minutes and we've resorted to overplaying a tired Mcgoldrick we struggle 

I agree, however not starting with our best eleven resulted in those players, being on the pitch longer, and worse playing catch up. I know hindsight is a wonderful gift. 

Rule one, do not underestimate the opposition.

Rule two, always start with your best team.

In the UK, fine. However, I don't live in the UK.

Apologies, I didn’t know that.

I think you're lying. TBH - grammar pedant that I am my whole body was tingling wanting to remind you lot it's Prostate, not Prostrate but then I kind of told myself that this is people talking about pretty serious stuff (well, everyone except @i-Ram).

Factsfor the day: 

• About 2% of all men will die of prostate cancer
• It is the second biggest male cancer killer
• 50% of men over the age of 90 will die with it, if not of it
• Your likelihood to get high grade prostate cancer doubles every ten years
• Which means, by my maths, if you live to 110 you will be 200% likely to get it (I've obviously got something wrong in there)

Correct, I can only blame myself for not checking, and predicted spelling for being lax, and lazy.??

Just turned 69. Been having 2 yearly stool checks since I was 55 here in NL. The most recent was 2 weeks ago. Negative, thankfully. Unfortunately, once you get past 75 they don't send you the test kits any longer.

I managed to avoid what @BaaLocks failed to do. The English teacher in me (not literally @Mucker1884 ) wanted to comment but common sense won the day.

Several have said "blood from either front or back, get checked". I endorse those comments. Better safe than sorry. Basically, if you don't look after you, nobody else will...

You can on reaching 75 request further test kits.

I had no symptoms, had a blood test for something else, visit to hospital, had a marvellous dedicated nurse, “ we can beat this Mr R”, biopsy, brachytherapy which are radioactive beads the size of a grain of rice injected into ……………..anyway, was treated on a Monday morning out Tuesday morning, loads of hospital support, six monthly blood tests and Nurse Rached reckons I’ve beat the bugger!

Good luck DGB………………..to everyone else, get tested, when diagnosed early completely treatable.

 

 

 

Hear! Hear! Well said. Thank you!

Correct, I had no symptoms whatsoever, full flow, no discomfort. I was more than apprehensive when the nurse explained the biopsy procedure, but it was uncomfortable, but never painful. 
Yes, I agree the doctors and nurses are amazing. 
Pride Pharmacy in the hospital however, queued for two hours, 16 people in front of me, the pharmacist confirmed they had my medication, I was told to take a seat, and was called an hour later! Good job we traveled by bus otherwise my parking charges would have been substantial.

No, round the waist is fine ?

Hilarious! I-Ram. We can laugh, joke, and occasionally wince, but we’ve had the exam, my original post was of course to urge others to have the examination. 

No I didn’t miss out on your joke, I’m ashamed of my poor response! 
I did however make sure the doctors hands weren’t on my shoulders during the examination.

So pleased the prognosis is so positive DGB. Hope all goes well in the years ahead.

Do you get to the Urology department at the DRI via the main entrance, or is there a private back door option available?

I attended the Kings Fund, the separate building to the right of the main building. A private back door option? Have I missed out, yet again?

Last September I was playing football with my grandson,and hurt my knee. I didn’t bother the doctors because the knee gradually returned to near normal, but still quite painful at times. It was such a time I winced, and my wife “advised “ me to see the doctor,which I duly attended, knee examination, all OK, I asked for a PSA (having seen the information at Pride Park) check which he duly gave me the paperwork. The test came back 7.1, I’m over 70 so 6.5 is regarded as normal. I was dispatched to the Derby Royal, had the anal examination, ( for the first time) small lump found. In five weeks I’ve had a MRI scan,my prostrate biopsy done, and a QT scan,and I’m now on a hormone treatment plan. It appears they’ve caught the tumour early, and the prognosis is good, they say it will be eliminated. You do lose your dignity at times, but not going through that door and having the exam you could lose a lot more.

A shout out to the doctors and nurses at the Derby Royal, they have been absolutely terrific, informative, and very understanding, and caring.

We don't have a grassy knoll at Pride Park. That would be at the old Baseball Ground pitch! 

Sans grass?

I travel to the ground on the Alfreton branch of the Derby County supporters bus, not a swear word have I heard, travel to Derby on the Trent H1 and some idiot shouting down his mobile to his Neanderthal friends, and every other word is a four letter swear word.

TBF once you enter nudist as your search it’s not that exciting.

The people who don’t mind being seen nude are not always the people a searcher might be looking for.

I used the first image which didn’t breach any protocols.

The horizontal nature of the dive does seem to break certain rules of ahem gravity ?
