Am I pregnant?
This week I've had a few days of medical tests and treatment and at each appointment I've been asked 'are you pregnant?'.
As a 57 year old bearded bloke, I found it odd and amusing but also daft. I don't even have a beer belly!

You could well be, just haven’t admitted it to yourself yet.
Does said anticipated offspring have dibs on the Defender?

I would guess they're following a proforma and no one wants to risk being Karen'd for making assumptions about people these days.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Snap ......and I'm 6ft 5in and built like a BSH. They sort of feel a little embarrassed and answer it for me or say you dont need to answer this one.
My local hospital asked me how would I like to be addressed.
I responded:-
Mr. S...d, Sir or Nigel.
They didn't hear me right, so I'm now Sir Nigel !
Friends who came to visit me & had heard this, laid it on by constantly referring to me as "Sir Nigel" - so it has really stuck now.

🤔 Well my wife says I've been moody and grumpy this week...........
As for any dibs on the Defender, I already have two cherubs who consider it theirs already. New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

Next time, say you don’t know and ask them for a pregnancy test. If they refuse, claim you have suffered discrimination.

If you couldn't possibly be pregnant then why do you have nipples? 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Interesting thought, but now I'm worried that somehow I've lost my uterus. New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)
