A great comedian, a great character! I wish him well!

I saw him live years and years ago in London and one memorable tale he told during the set was of getting a prostrate exam. Needless to say he acted-out the whole proceedure, complete with a take on the quack putting on a rubber glove ... this was complete with his uttered sound effects of rubber 'snapping' over extended middle finger, the dropping of the drawers, and his screams of the long cold digit being "rammed" (quote) up his "arse" and being wiggled around. What a hoot it was ... side-busting humour. How prophetic.

Every year I go for a general health check-up (going this Thursday) - blood pressure check, urine test, various gibblets felt, weight logged, etc. It also comes complete with a prostrate blood test (PSA) ... they suck a bit blood out for the cholesterol test and mark the tube additionally for the prostrate test. It's an easy way to get the 'old donut' checked without the rubber glove treatment. Rest easy viewers ... Symptoms is fit and healthy and operating at his perfect 'fighting weight' (not an ounce of excess fat) - this annual 'MOT' is for insurers.
