Quite relieved about this because I had a really embarrassing appointment at my consultant's on Friday, the sole purpose of which seemed to be to embarrass me in front of a gaggle of medical students. I walked into the room, expecting just to see the ol' professor, and there was an entire audience awaiting my arrival."Now what do you think is wrong with Mr Barnett?" they were challenged as I turned various shades of crimson. None of them guessed correctly, but not before proffering a variety of hideous-sounding diagnoses. I felt like the fucking elephant man.

Sorry, bit of an emu moment there. Suffice to say I think my time is pretty good for an old cripple with a dicky bladder. I did the second half about two minutes faster than the first, largely because I was bursting for a slash by that stage.

£69.99? That's a very specific sum. I hope you're not going to divert funds to buy yourself a Wii Fit.

Although I guess you don't really need one with your running prowess!

Well done, I will give generously when I can find some paying work. How long do I have?

"Now what do you think is wrong with Mr Barnett?"

Did anyone answer "He's all rib and dick, sir"?

I thought it was a bit of a loaded question to be honest. Sob.

I think it not phrased very well.

could they not have said 'what condition does he have?' rather than 'wrong'?

Exactamundo. In fact, he should have said: "Can you identify which extremely painful, soul-sapping condition this poor, unfortunate individual is stoically battling daily with scarcely a murmur of complaint?"
