"Just remember what was left in the bottom of Pandora's box, after all of the evils, woes and curses had escaped into the world."

A shackle pin which didn't fit any of Pandora's shackles, a CR2032 battery, a micro SD card adaptor and a business card for a long-gone taxi company in Hartlepool, if I recall correctly.

Bugger. Good luck.

I'm envious that, unlike me, you didn't start off "bumbling and incompetent" and are merely heading in that direction....

Best of luck with your latest news.

So very true. What is it with CR2032s? I think they're closely related to woodlice - they hate bright light and take the earliest opportunity to scuttle into the darkness and reproduce.

My very good friend was diagnosed with prostate cancer that had metastasised and spread throughout his body. He was given two years to live. That was five years ago: he is currently on a cycling holiday in Ireland. Hopefully your story will have as succesful an outcome.

Plus they spontaneously mutate into 2016s if you actually need a 2032. I tidied out a drawer in the kitchen just a couple of days ago and found two 2025s, which I think may be a larval form.

They can mutate both ways. I have a box of nine from when Amazon made me buy ten when I needed one. Whenever I go to that box looking for a 2016/2032 it contains the one I don't need.

Our Commodore had the all clear, after a tough year of treatment, earlier this week. Apparently when asked if he wanted to ring the bell, he just had time to call back “do I, ****?!” as he skipped out the door!

Hopefully they’ll have you out the door pronto, after the obligatory rummaging. All best.

Been there done that late 30s with a 3rd child on the way. Fortunately my wife spotted it early and after the wide excision and 3 month checks for a year not had any cause for concern since. Hopefully after the initial scare yours will prove to be as uneventful.

I did a lot of travelling and dosing around in my 20s and at the time I thought how optimistic nearly everyone else seemed thinking they would work hard until they were in their 60s and then enjoy their life. It really does need doing when we are young what with the many things that can make it harder later and just general knackerdness.
