Talking about Carry on films, nuts and cancer.

Picture this:

Scene one of Carry on Surgeon

Sid James is in an operating theatre, having an open prostatectomy performed by the eminent urology surgeon, Professor Kutzitov, played by Kenneth Williams.

Scene two:

Three days later Sid's in a recovery ward, lying  bed and still having to wear an oxygen mask.

A young student nurse, played by Barbara Windsor, is wiggling by, when Sid calls out from behind the mask "Nurse, are my testicles black?"

Babs embarrassingly giggles, " Sorry, I don't know."

Still masked up, he struggles again to ask, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"

Concerned that the op may have caused testicular bruising, she overcomes her embarrassment and wiggles over to him. She pulls back the covers. She raises his gown and holds his his testicles gently, and gives them a very thorough examination. Five minutes later she says, "There's nothing wrong with them, they look fine to me" and giggles.

Sid then slowly pulls off his oxygen mask and says  "Thank you very much for that, nurse. Most enjoyable. Now, please listen very closely. Are my test results back?!

Do we know if anyone has reported the 502 error. Seems to be happening a lot. I wonder whether it might be to do with the size of the ‘A place to chat’ thread as I haven’t had it on other smaller chats?

Just settling down to watch Where Eagles Dare - a Thursday evening treat 😃

Hi Spongebob

I know nowt about tech stuff. You're our IT specialist. Do you think our virtual pub has become so popular it crashed the national grid! I wouldn't mind shutting it down, refurbish it, and have a grand reopening of the Protocologist's Finger. 

Having said that I've been getting the 502 warning on all threads on every bit of the forum. I'd hate to think we were disrupting the serious cancer stuff.

I don’t know Adrian, it was just a thought. My phone always seems to have difficulty loading and updating on ‘A place to chat’ whereas other smaller threads no problem. But then again I’m not a massive user, so might not notice how widespread it is. 
It does need to be looked at by whoever provides IT support for the site.

I’ve dropped an email to try to report it 😬

I'm not a massive user. I limit myself to twelve hours a day.🙂

Now you mention it though, when I joined Lyn Eyre had a huge thread which was on part three, I think. I haven't got a clue how much space is on here and how much we're using. If we're anyway compromising the site we should shut down I reckon?

Do you I think I should contact them on their feedback and make them aware that we could be blocking the system?

It seems to be working fine tonight.

We carry on unless told otherwise 😃. But need to report errors as ‘they’ may be blissfully unaware.  I’ll see what reply I get (the automatic response gave a 2 day eta).

Dont spoil your viewing, mate.  I've just been watching Where Golden Eagles Dare Copulate on Springwatch. 

Are we the only animals that get ED?

I love that programme, but isn't nature cruel. Two chick's in the eerie on top of a mountain, The stronger one picks on the other. The parents take the bully's side.  So it ends up getting starved or pecked to death. 

Did you see much wild life when you climbed Ben More?

Adrian, I have reported the slow and 50? Issues to two different people at PCUK, I got a reply today saying it is being looked at.

Thanks Chris

Cheers Chris. It is becoming very annoying. Although the site and forum are excellent I've always found the technical side pretty poor. Hopefully who ever is 'looking into it' will have good rummage around, find the fault and try and get us back to normal. A bit like our prostate surgeons. 🙂
