Dont think anyone would want mine when I go!

I had this done years ago using an elephants trunk, sadly i cannot go shopping any more as the trunk keeps trying to put things it likes into the trolley, But on a serious note amazing operation and life changing.

Do they do part exchange? Thinking of downsizing.

I'll have to watch it going over to Wales then as they have assumed donor consent now

I could always do with a spare.

Must have been more than just the bushes that packed up, to need a new big end and sump!!

I'm sure he could find a place to keep it warm and safe.

Or get a dozen.

That reminds me of a joke which I won't retell here, guaranteed

 

[Farside]

He's certainly had a hard time.
He's looking forward to another one.

I can’t read that without thinking of the billy Connolly (i think?) joke about when god was designing humans.

I seem to have a load of elbow skin left over, no idea what I’m going to do with it.

I know I’ll make a little pouch and hang these two things in it...
