Default Do NOT drink wilst reading this... You have been warned!

So tomorrow, I have to go for a procedure... And to be fully ready for the event (as it were), I have been given some stuff to drink, which, as I understand it, will cleanse my innards of all possible obstructions. Fine.

Thing is, son no1 is coming back from France tonight and I have to go and pick him and his mates up at Gatwick, and funnily enough, I'd rather not be, erm, performing whilst en route. So, I thought I'd turn to my little friend Google to see how effective the stuff is and whether I can time it to take it without it interfering with my taxi duties.

So I typed in "Picolax" in the Google box, and I found this thread:

singletrackworld The Picolax Thread Returns

Now, take my word for it, do NOT take a sip of anything whilst reading, or you WILL be wiping your screen and keyboard, I have only just finishing wiping my eyes.

PS: As I was typing this, the endoscopy people phoned and they have cancelled my appointment for now!!! I am SOOOOO glad I hadn't actually started on the bloody thing!!!

I have to say I was just chortling on a low gear until I got to the episode where he had to phone the clinic and ask for more of the stuff, at which point things went quickly downhill.

That was sooo funny. It wasn't funny when I was there. It was sooo painful and I screamed the place down. I was already on sedation, but I was yelling so loudly they knocked me out. I would highly recommend that.

Picolax turned my bum from it’s usual semi-dormant state:
a bit like Vesuvius; an impresssive and majestic sight with occasional noxious wiffs, regular minor expulsions of dangerous matter and a very rare display of awesome ferocity worthy of international news into:
a portal from another collapsing largely aqeous universe via which all compressed matter emerged at trans light speeds, expanding exponentially as it emerges from the “wormhole”.
If you think the widespread deluges of precipitation experienced this “summer” in any way approach “Biblical Proportions”, then rest assured by 09:00 tomorrow you will have ample personal evidence to entirely revise your delusion.

YOU want to show it live on TV !!!
BUT
HA! HA! HA! That’s NOT the best bit, is it ? NO !!!
YOU WANT ME TO STAY AWAKE AND WATCH !!!
Look I may be daft enough to live on just yummy orange juice for a week, whilst suffering 4 YES F O U R !!! bouts of bowel movements big enough for Steven Hawking to test out his theories on.
But AWAKE ???
How blooody daft DO you think I am ?
Well that’s what I thought, but obviously being a BRITISH BLOKE what I actually said was.
