Yeah, but you have to be completely flat to get it on the NHS & it also has to be a psychological thing too.

Sorry to say, but she came out waayyyy before me, I think her op only took as hour or so, mine took 5. She was bouncing all over the ward like nothing had happened, while I was laying there like a dead thing. She left the same day too, I was in for 5! Man, that was some hard recovery time.

Small to medium bazoogas are the best without a doubt. I realise this may be off topic but I only got as far as the breast discussion. Sorry.

We're still talking about breasts. But I added another angle in my post above this one. Just trying to be fair and balanced.

Don't be sorry! Anything more than a handful is just a waste, apparently!

Well he's certainly not knocking nuts! Unless you count them clanking in glass. Wonder if he keeps them by his bed at night?

Sounds like a perfectly sane and intelligent thing to me. One of my neighbors wishes he'd cut his off back when he still had the chance. He's been married four times and has three kids by his fist wife, one by his second, three more by his third and no less than six by his current wife.

He and his current wife are seperated, BTW.

Yep, sounds perfectly sane to me.

OK, getting the thread back on track - although I can see a nipple tuck comparison to rudolph and his red nose after a few bevvies (I am slurping on a pint of guiness as I type.

So - what's this about secret santa. the office just had one.. A. The friggin presents were ALL practical and B. everyone told everyone else who got what... what a load of bollxcks.

A good old proper secret santa combines forces of vulgarity, fun, humor and a good ol' pre-getting-in-the-christmas spirit banter... here, it can be as exciting as spreading brown bread with zero fat marge <--- that's me chucking me guiness down me throat !!

Xmas here is just an inconvenient interruption of the cycle of working 50 weeks of the year so you can pay for your house, cars, swimming pool, cell phones, mall shopping (festive jumpers etc) and meals out. There is, actually, nothing else.

Oh goodness, this brings back memories about a high school friend who came from a family of 'huge breasted' birds.

Poor thing was a double D by the time we were all 13. Bet she's had an op by now.

Oy Rockgurl, I predict that in 3 years' time you too will be wearing festive scrubs!..LOL
