Acupuncture: is it a load of old pony?

Lou Lou my sweet, I opened this for you as Safari is obviously gash

EDIT: We got there in the end. Lou’s quoted text here is what the thread is about.

First life question I need life advice on.

During my lunch break today I happened to pass a Chinese Health shop. Having always been curious about acupuncture, I decided to pop in and find out more.

The lady on reception offered me a free medical check, which seemed too good an offer to turn down.

After being taken to a private room by a consultant, and being asked lots of questions around my toilet habits, he then felt my pulse for about 2 minutes while listening intently, then looked at my tongue. From this he was able to tell me lots of very accurate things about me.

He diagnosed my balance as being off kilter (or something like that). And prescribed me a week’s worth of herbal tea that set me back 56 quid.

Have I been had?!

Good post! Big Bad Bob. Upvote.

I will now post more Darren Hanlon.

FYI - I love him intellectually not internally.

Who is this Big Bad Bob to whom you refer?

Don’t know, Big Bad Bob.

But every time I quote you, it changes your name to Big Bad Bob. I think pap has put an easter egg in the quoting code (easter egg - and it isn’t even Easter! Aren’t we geeks funny?!)

Must be scouse humour, I don’t quite understand it…

Must be.

Them damn DB triggers are very amusing are they not…and yes I was mildly impressed, no really!!

Chuffed to have my own thread. Can I use this for general female centric life questions I need advice from blokes on? Like man trouble, career problems, DIY advice, man trouble, what to wear to impress men, how to make more money etc. Like a agony uncle type thread?

If you want but don’t expect sensible replies.

For example Bearsy would reply :- All of the above can be solved by a good BJ.

Don’t try DIY Lou, use your charms to get someone else to do it for you!

Then it becomes DDIY

That said, if this does become an Agony Uncle thread, can we also promise no PMing behind my back ?! :wink:

To answer this we need to know what he asked you about your toilet habbits (and what you answered?).

I had a similar thing recently, but the guy had to take my tempature rectually, but he was so experienced at it he could do it with his finger. On a positive note, he did it for free :slight_smile:

You won’t be laughing so hard when I’ve gained the power of eternal youth, Bearsy!!

i genuinely found that whole story funny! Even the bit where you was just walking along the street, and suddenly realised you were always curious about acupuncture, was v.funny to me.
