Gout.

[Amelie]

What is everyone's opinion of this illness? Could it really (albeit self imposed) be the most painfull thing a man can go through?

[Jonno]

I've heard it's the most painful thing anyone can go through - man or woman

[Shooms]

Surely it's as 19th century as shoving kids up chimneys, scurvy and John Merrick ?

He had to finish the sweetbreads off first

There's this lad used to work at our place who's got it.
I use the term advisedly... he's younger than me (and most of you lot)...
Kiwi kid in his 20s used to work in our accounts department.

I couldn't fucking believe it when he told me. Saw him walking with a really bad limp one time & threw out some pisstake comment & he's like "oh I've got gout"

He did like his beer but I'm sure it wasn't that caused it. Prolly something genetic (like morals )or summat.

Makes you think though... Like you i thought it only affected awld fuckers, and died out with Henry VIII, but apparently not!

I used to work with a bloke who had Gout in his big toe. The lazy bastid was always off on the sick

"My Toe is hurting, it looks like a tennis ball, I cant walk.."

The office offered some great advice. Stop sitting on your arse at lunchtime eating 3 packs of sandwiches you fat tw@t

He got potted

The End.

Too true.

The reason Amelie has started this thread in fact is because I got it a few weeks back - in my big toe

The big toe is the usual place for a first gout hit as well. The funny is I usually drink beer, and it didn't go away for ages, but I knocked beer on the head and shifted to red wine and it just went

After a heavy couple of months eating Partridge and drinking Port, Jonno decided it was time to live a healthier lifestyle, and start wearing normal 21st Century clothes
