Title: Blokes and their Bowels
Post by LEUT Bigvicfella (RTD) on Feb 28^th, 2016 at 8:06pm

Like many blokes I used to just walk/run/slide to the dunny when the need arose. As I get older, I am finding all sorts of things I need to check when the occur. The colour of the morning piddle, how it changes with water intake and my doctor also recommended I have a "birdseye" in the bowl after the deed is done. Just some info for those interested. The 2nd link is just a light hearted look at the issue in question. It's for men, not hairy Greek sheilas from Hurstville!

yes, I think it is a good idea to have an idea of how your body normally works.
Know what is usual.
Then if something unusual occurs you are aware of it.

eg, blood in your poos is a bad sign. See, if you never look you will never see it.

I have rolled oats for brekky.

Add yoghurt if you are feeling creative ..........
