Prostate beam therapy….sounds like a cheesy porn film.
Maybe we’ve found the first man where the sun shines out of his arse?
fyi – Richard Murphy on YouTube today:

There’s a long tradition of not linking to anything Spud unless it’s taking him down, it just inflates his ego.
That besides the sheer torture of having to look at that puncheable smug mug and listening to his wibble…
Some heroes here can stomach that, but…..
Sorry. I’d never seen the great economist before, only ever heard of him here. Just got a bit over-excited I guess… 🙂
That’d be one crazy super power to have.

Ha ha brilliant !
If it’d proton beam therapy for prostate cancer, prostate beam therapy sounds like a good name for it
It is standard electromagnetic radiation (not proton) but in a more tightly focussed “beam”. The NHS is notably crap at introducing proton therapy (only UCLH and the Christie in Manchester when I last checked).
Ummm.. nope… they’re shooting actual protons….
Which…. well… I have an Opinion about that…
Not protons, it is X-rays from a LINAC, same story from the BBC today
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crm02mmgr3ro
“NHS England said it expected all 48 radiotherapy centres around the country to start offering the treatment “within weeks”.”
The NHS has 2 proton therapy centres, not 48.
‘member when they had a couple arrested because they took their son abroad for Proton Beam therapy?

Beam me up Scrotum.
” Scotty, energise the Prostate Beam.”
” Aye Cap’n, though ah dinnae think yon Mr Spock’ll like it!”
Just so long as it doesn’t damage the protein torpedo.
This one just sat up and begged.

Lol.
I first read it is protein beam therapy. Better then carbohydrate beam therapy, I guess, better know as baguette up the bum therapy
Ideal if you fancy some pork inside you.
Fancy some pork inside you?
Or…the meat thermometer, the love piston, the womb raider, the meat whistle, the pork sword, the mutton dagger, the one-eyed snake, the spunk pump…
Kidney-tickler.
Rump-splitter.
God, what a bunch of smutty boys we are. And isn’t it marvellous?
But wait, there’s Mary Beard, Stephen Fry and Charlotte Proudman getting up a petition for admission to the club.

Totally o/t, but how’s this fish tank for Bond villain-y?

Little obese Kimmy may well watch Bond films. He has executed people by targeting them with munitions. So tanks of tiger sharks or piranhas in which to tip disobedient henchmen would be on his trend. But even siamese fighting fish wouldn’t fit with Pooh Bear/Xitler’s visit.
In Team America, Kim Jong Il had such a tank with Hans Blix floating in it.
“Hans, Hans. You’re bleaking my barrs here…”
I was thinking about this while checking my nuts for cancer yesterday (yes, I’m crude, but you should still check your nuts, lads).
We’ve all seen loved ones die of the Big C. The treatments seem… unsatisfactory? Chemo can be a lot rougher on you than the cancer. Surgery too. Anyway, I decided if I end up with raging testicular cancer, I will just die an intact man rather than lose my Fabergé eggs.
I wouldn’t even get a male dog neutered, it’s not right imo. How could I look Groofy in the face after that? On t’other, we have no reason to be afraid of death. Lots of things are worse than dying. Suffering, for one.
And we need big, beautiful balls for the excitement to come…
This only works verbally…..
Cancer, eh?
…only works orally…?
I, naturally, have people to check my balls for me.
And I have to employ a diary secretary to manage their demands for work.
Fortunately, the min wage does not apply.
you should still check your nuts, lads
I delegate that enjoyable task to my wife…
[Cancer] treatments seem… unsatisfactory?
In the future, I imagine early 21stC cancer treatments will be considered barbaric. If the cancer is cureable, then endure the treatment. If it’s terminal, then seriously consider refusing treatment. (I found hormone treatment during prostate cancer radiotherapy intolerable and opted for RT only. And 4.5 years later I’m still here.)
I wouldn’t even get a male dog neutered, it’s not right imo.
Anthropomorphism. Animal aggression needs to be managed. In my youth, I put a few tight rubber rings on around the balls of male calves.
And we need big, beautiful balls for the excitement to come…
We will need a lot more “excitement” than we have seen so far. And “excitement” that is more coordinated and probably less thuggish…
Anthropomorphism
Yes? I like animals. Couldn’t bring myself to hurt them.
I hurt animals only when it is necessary…
Well, whatever gets you excited; we’re fairly broad-minded here.
Although does the usual proviso of “don’t scare the horses” extend to cattle?
Like de-horning calves – ie burning out the horn buds – castrating by rubber ring (to cut off the blood supply to the scrotum) is not something in which any farmer takes pleasure. But you want to eat the beef?
Anyway, my farming days are long over. The Original Jim might have something to add.
Sure. We need farmers. I just couldn’t do what they do. If I had to work in a shambles, I expect I’d be vegetarian. On t’other, my grandmother thought nothing of wringing a chicken’s neck. She had bigger balls than Steve mayhaps. When I was a little boy, I saw The Plague Dogs and Watership Down, so possibly was radicalised by Richard Adams. Turn around, bright eyes.

Wimp!
Harsh.
Went to see plague dogs at the cinema as a nipper. Best thing about it was the Airplane 2 trailer. (8008135)
I thought the males were invariably slaughtered within days or weeks of birth (with a few exceptions for breeding purposes).
So why bother to eunuch them?
Not back then (1970s): the aim was to grow beef in bullocks.
It used to be that bull semen wasn’t sexed, ie had an equal likelihood of male or female offspring. So in order to get enough replacement female stock a dairy farm would need to get all its milking cows in calf to a dairy bull. The male offspring of which are not suited for beef production, so male calves were routinely slaughtered.
Now however semen can be sexed, so there is a high (90%) likelihood of a female calf. So a dairy farm can get its best producing dairy cows in calf to a dairy bull, and know it will get mainly good quality female offspring to grow on into replacement dairy cows. The lesser producing dairy cows can be got in calf to a beef bull, thus producing offspring that can go into the beef production chain, whether male or female. Resulting in little to no need to slaughter calves at birth.
Any male calf destined for beef production will still need castrating though, to reduce their aggression.
Interesting. But what’s wrong with meat from the males? Oxtail’s pretty good, no?
…
kind of with Steve, though each case is different. My springer’s intact and I’ve never seen aggression to anyone or anything. Lots of boisterous energy though which i love. Of course you have to keep an eye ahead for anyone infirm who might be bowled over if they get in his way at full pelt.
With dogs, castration depends upon the breed and the individual dog. Castration didn’t reduce aggression in my son-in-law’s pure bred fox red labrador, which was nervous and aggressive from arrival…
In my yoof I held the legs of young piglets while my father wielded a cutthroat razor and a dab of Dettol.
I remember as a child the bus going past a site advertising “computer tune-up”. I always wondered what they did to tune up computers.
Decades later I discovered it was a garage. It should have stated “VEHICLE tune-up” not computer tune-up. They weren’t tuning-up computers, they were tuning-up vehicles. They were using computerised equipment to do it, but that’s computerISED tune-up not computer tune-up.
Have you ever played Street Countdown
I just realised the Chinese guy in that episode is Benedict Wong from the Doctor Strange movies.
Why are they all called Benedict in those films ?
It can be quite dangerous.
