Poo(h) Sticks

Liverpool Pier Head from the Mersey Ferry

As a child, while reading the Winnie the Pooh books I came across the game of Pooh Sticks. I’ve never actually played it, but it looks like great fun. Especially if you’re out in the countryside having a picnic. It seems there’s an annual championship.

At the other end of my life, the NHS tests me for Bowel Cancer every two years.

This involves using a Poo Stick to collect a small sample of Poo that you send to the NHS for testing. I feel sorry for the poor old postman who delivers all the samples. So far, I’ve passed all my tests. Today I posted my latest poo stick for testing, hope I’m OK.
