    Sorry, can't help you on this one as I was born in the States in the 50's when circumcision was almost universal. And surprisingly it's not a subject men discuss much, in my experience.

     

    Having said that Com's foreskin was too tight and the doctor suggested getting him to practice pulling it back to loosen it. This was when he was 3, so I'm assuming that there isn't any specific age at which it becomes necessary, but depends on the individual.

     

    I would have thought that thrush would make it itchy, and so he'd be happy to wash to stop the irritation, but also it implies that to let the infection in it would have to be loose enough to pull back already.

     

    Good luck

    :fight:

    Fighting and fisticuffs here in the Cave?

    I shall have to ask you, young man, to behave

    Like myself: with more style, poise and decorum

    To protect the young innocents here on the forum.

    Charming young womenfolk are too dainty to hear

    Such testosterone boastings, I heartily fear

    So let us move on and out of the ring

    I hear dandy racquetball is now quite the thing.

    So let us adjourn to a nice shady spot

    Out of their sight and out of earshot

    And there we can get to the crux of the matter:

    Which one is older and which one is fatter?

    And when we conclude I guarantee without fail

    I'll surrender as ever to the great alpha male. :notworthy:

     

    oh look, a sonnet :whistle:

    :lol:

    'Lack of cred' was not quite the crime

    For the rhyming of Baddad lacked rhyme :P

    But I give up forthwith

    Hunting words ending '...ith'

    And admit I'm defeated this time. :blink:

     

    And as for my small violation

    Z thought it a witty creation

    But I have to admit

    the scantion was... not all it could have been :whistle:

    But I'm too old for metrification

     

    And as for that threat, young BD

    It's an idle one for you see

    I've stared at a screen

    Since you were a teen

    And now I'm as blind as can be! :wacko:

     

    :lol: I like this game!

    Boys will be boys and all that... :rolleyes:

    Not all of us. I couldn't work out why the first two lines didn't rhyme, so didn't know which one the last line was supposed to rhyme with :blink: .

     

    There was an old man from Kent

    Whose limericks were a little peculiar

    When asked why this was

    He'd only say "Because..."

    But I think he was taking the pith helmet. :P

    Nope! Think EMO!

    The Electric Might Orchestra?! :blink:

     

    And yes, I cheated by googling to get all the lyrics of Chains as it seemed to have evryone stumped :rolleyes: . But not to win, honest B)

    I thought all tennis players groaned, grunted and sometimes even screamed in pain all the time these days. :P Or has it all gone quiet again on Center Court?

     

    And viper, I know what you mean about the trampoline; Com says that no-one over the age of 15 is any fun on a trampoline. That's because they suddenly discover what a compacted spine feels like! I'm sure I lost at least an inch in the first month.

    But at least it keeps me fit - not by bouncing on it, but by the daily lowering and raising of the heavy steel mesh cover that stops the local students from killing themselves on it at 2am :drunk:

    Just to be agreeable, yes you are the world's most dreadful mother.

    haven't you been listening to the goverment's '5-a-day' campaign? All parents should check all their children's orifices at least 5 times a day :sick: And if they're called Sid, then you should whack them round the head with a big stick every six months to test their pain threshold :devil: .

     

    Don't worry, it happens to a lot of us. We took Dot to A&E once as she'd fallen down stairs and hurt her arm. As she didn't say it hurt, they sent us home and she went on a sleepover. Next day it was swolen, so we took her back and they Xrayed her this time and yes, it was broken, but the looks you get from the staff when you bring your kid in to A&E two days running were definitely the worst bit.

     

    Hope the damage isn't permanent. :pray:

    ... and who first decided bungee jumping was a good idea? :o:o:)

     

    It started of with an Amazonian tribe who do it as part of their young men's initiation ceremony (with vines! :o ) and there's a bit of an argument whether it was someone from New Zealand or the Oxford Dangerous Sports Club, who were certainly the first people to do it over here. They are (or were, I don't know if it's still going) a great bunch of freaks. I knew a couple of them years ago when they went to a posh ski resort one winter - with a punt! :lol:

    Lots of mad stories, like the time they overshot the end of the piste, went over a snowdrift and ended up 10 feet below in the punt in the middle of the main road :P The most outrageous stunt was awarded with a candle-lit dinner for two followed by a disco - both done on a large sheet of plywood, going down the longest slope (wine waiter and dj incuded! :party: )

     

    Apparently the worst part of the whole journey was getting the punt through Swiss customs :lol::lol::lol:
