Oh well, turned out to be more of the same old clueless dross - sideways, sideways, backwards - at least we seem to have found a cure for insomnia and for that I guess Gareth should get a knighthood 😬.

Still, there’s always Sunday, we are still in it for at least one more game 🤞.  And the Tour de France will have started by then 🚴🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ yippee!

Back on the Stella today. Watching England playing India in the second semi final of the T20 cricket world cup. It's far more exciting than the footie.

India are strong favorites, but I'm sure we'll give them a game!

🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏

Late edit.

Spoiler alert.

Rubbish! Absolute rubbish! Worse than the footballers.

Yep - at loose end due to the break in the Euros so just watched the cricket. We got absolutely pompadommed there didn’t we? 

Not to worry, cricket cup competitions come by the bus load, won’t be long before they can have another crack.

Talking about beer 🍺 because it’s Friday night and no footy on the TV, just the 50 millionth repeats of Dad’s Army and Doc Martin. Beer is also good for taking the mind of all the Prostap side effects 😬. My current favourite beer is ‘Citra’, brewed in Oakham, I love it. Has anyone else tried it?

No football, but some great music from Glastonbury! Enjoyed the sets from Dua Lipa and Confidence Man today. Can't wait for Coldplay tomorrow with a nice can of cider!

Spongebob, I've not tried Citra, Ill have to get some and report back.

John, one of my lads was into music festivals. I love music but hate the idea of going to a festival. I used to hate 'camping out' on Army exercises. To do it for pleasure does not register with me.

I've restocked the fridge with Stella and after visiting my Mum, who is still hanging on, will be watching sport all day. T20 final, India v S. Africa, then the two scheduled Euros matches. Bliss.

Did you not think Dua Lipa was all about revealing/struting  her body in sexy outfits  rather than actual music?

I'll have to check that out on catch up.

I quite like her music. With regard to sexy outfits, I didn't notice thanks to my pills!  😂😂😂 Got to love this treatment castration!

Hi Adrian,

Ref the fake post. The whole lot has gone since I reported it. My post was the longest and I have a copy of it for what it's worth. 

Diet is a topic that brings out polite but entrenched views as do quite a few subjects. Lucky we don't all think the same or there'd be nothing to say. P

Hi Pete.

I saw the entire diet conversation had been deleted. I suppose it was all axed as the scam post was the first? Its a shame that people scam on sites like this, unfortunately it seems to be getting more common. As for food and diet it is an interesting subject that seems to always start a lot of debate. I'm afraid I've never gone out of my way to eat healthily and I drink far too much, but at 67 years old, I've gone beyond caring. 🙂

It maybe worth reposting your post on this thread. There seems to be a lot of people viewing this 'place to have a chat' conversation and some may respond?

Hi chaps , just checking in after chemo yesterday. Ive updated my treatment thread so wont repeat all on here. Needless to say all went ok except they never quite got round to finding me a cold cap so I didn’t bother in the end. If i lose a bit of hair so be it. Ive also updated my Bios with latest PSAs ETC. Bit worrying as i had a big rise from 9.84 to 13.47 before my first chemo. So hope the chemo will start to stop the rise soon.

Sunny day here so been faffing about in the garden with a side gate lock. Always something to do on me list…

I had to cancel our wedding trip to the US in August as me Onco said no way. But got most of the cost back from BA plus the Avios and a companion voucher. We did lose one nights hotel charge as it was under the Travel insurance PCa excess. We’ve got 180,000 Avios points now and 2 companion vouchers so hoping well be able to use them next year OK…

Meanwhile it will mean a couple more holidays over here in Blighty as long as i can fit around the chemo and Degarelix injections.

Still having issues with a bit of leakage but it does seem almost totally related to alcohol consumption. I feel a bit better now that i understand it’s likely the alcohol is affecting my bladder and nothing worse. I can deal with that by just using a pad the day after. I am also getting used to finding low alcohol beer or wine when we’re out. There’s been a few suggestions on here for low alcohol stuff and thanks for that, I’ll give them all a try.

Gonna have a walk down later to give my vote …. It’s all down hill and ill meet the wife there after work so ill get a lift back up the hill 😊 But do i vote tactically with regard to the bigger picture, or for my best local incumbent… I’m not even sure i know what the bigger picture would be anyway.

Decisions, decisions…!

Take care buddies,

Phil

Hi Phil, I'm glad that you were able to have your treatment. Sorry to see that you've had to miss your America trip but glad that you managed to recover most of your costs.

Me and my better half have just voted. It seemed strange having to show photo ID.

The Conservatives must be desperate, our actual Tory MP was knocking on doors, yesterday. He didn't see the funny side when I asked him what new career he was contemplating. 😁

My youngest son is staying with us for a couple of days. Me and him are doing an all night election session. Got tons of booze and snacks in.

I suppose the exit poll will be very accurate and we'll know the result within minutes after 10pm, but I still like to see the individual counts and declarations.

Hi lads and lasses. Are you seated comfortably and ready for 90 mins of inventive and scintillating football?  🙄
