I get travel insurance free with First Direct but they are just advised they are withdrawing this from the end of summer

Spit, spot on. Done with my international travelling. Yes insurance obviously going up and they will find anything in the small print to reduce any payout!

Save travel insurance,holiday in the UK.will help with carbon footprint too.

RK, I'm frequently being seen in various clinics, plus the osteomyelitis issue that's the real big pain in the butt, bane of my life has rendered overseas travel unaffordable anyway (since I'm unemployed too) but prices before my bone issues were made then. 2022 we were looking at a 10 day cruise around the Canaries, the cost of insurance was more than paying for a third person. I dread to think of the charges now.

Pep to Salford?

Can imagine Gary Neville persuading the others to let him do it cos thereā€™s no one betterā€¦

Salford either thought theyā€™d given KR enough budget to get promoted and/or have someone lined up as an automatic replacement.

Sandy, Staysure & Just Travel are good options for those of us with "pre-existing medical conditions" What I've found is that if you've been a hospital in-patients in the previous 12 months, premiums will be higher so have to decide whether to go for it or wait, based on your financial circumstanes

CM - I bet heā€™s not dancing round that fucking living room now šŸ˜Š

Is Khan having a midlife crisis?

Big fat Karl sacked againšŸ¤£šŸ¤£

Hahaha!!!

Tom SW I hadnā€™t realised that there was such a strict dress code to get into bingo

Didn't he shave his head because he went to Mecca?

Alan - it looks odd, probably a bit like when Roy Keane or David Beckham did it - I remember thinking how much better Sajid Javid looked when he grew a beard.

I dun know, its a bold decision...

Haha there comes a point where men should just admit their receding hairline and monkā€™s tonsure (thatā€™s not a euphemism) and just whizz it all off with a buzz cutā€¦

Bloody hell, nick. See what you mean.

That wonderful Mr Khan our esteemed mayor hasnā€™t done himself any favours with his new lookšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

If anyone is interested, we have an OS story, a goals and highlights video, around 50 or so clips, and around 100 photos from the WAWF fundraising game: [Link] [Link] [Link] Enjoy!

OI and Alan - indeed, it is a choice for the individual, but equally, having a PSA test may result in someone finding their level is a it high (as in my case), and unless itā€™s super high, going onwards to having an MRI and then a biopsy is a personal choice. I decided to have that, and Iā€™m glad I did - if your biopsy shows there are cells present, only then is it big decision timeā€¦ Fortunately in my case itā€™s active surveillance rather than surgery - this is in many ways the best of all outcomes, as I get regular PSA blood tests and MRI scans, whereas if (as may happen in future) they just said ā€œthatā€™s fine, go away and live your lifeā€, any change in the level would go unnoticed, potentially leading to a more dangerous escalation of oneā€™s condition. But youā€™re completely right, itā€™s a personal decision.

Ah travel insurance! It's been a right mare since my own cancer diagnosis. Thought I'd cracked it with Direct Line who were willing to leave consequences of the cancer out of the policy. But then they stopped doing travel insurance.

OI, I don't disagree with that, other than the test should be done, but with the caveat that in discovery a vulnerability shouldn't automatically mean that surgeries are necessary. But then those same people can be monitored on a watch and wait basis.
