    Thanks @Stuart_the_Red and @SoundAsa£
    Tests i had booked for earlier in the year were cancelled due to the first lockdown, getting a Dr's appointment now is nigh on impossible but i'm being persistant.

    Up 4 times for a pee last night. :/
    From one baldy bonce to another and without wanting to cause unnecessary panic, unless you’ve been on the booze, I’d get down to my GP and get a check for diabetes!
    Enlarged prostate is the usual cause.
    Has this problem, plus leaking after peeing, was an enlarged prostrate, which I got an operation for, completely successful, one small problem after, (which I was pleased with).

    As you said - 4 times a night is persistent 😉

    The you see things that aren't there and don't see things that are there. I've only just realised that @guinnessaddick's avatar is a picture of two mugs, on on top of the other. I always thought it was a chimp wearing a Charlton hat.

    When everyone seems want instant success or have an entitlement to be told information.
    This time last year we had a chairman lying through his teeth about transfer targets and spending the clubs money on cars and flats and we didn’t even know if we’d be starting 2021 with a football club to follow. Lee Bowyer was the only constantly good thing about it keeping the supporters onside even though the football was a bit hit and miss. Now we have a good owner who wants to support club in the right way, build slowly on the foundation that’s in place, while Lee Bowyer does the same thing with his squad. Will the owner get it right everytime? Of course he won’t, will Lee Bowyer pick a winning side or get the tactics right for every game? Of course he won’t. Does it make them shit at their jobs? Of course it don’t. 
    But then again, I’m getting old what do I know🤷‍♂️

    They said that about my Dad who was 90 but I replied that I wished he was still not out and going for his century 😞.
