The benefits of not having the operation outweigh the risks of having it, and not having it leaves me parapalegic at a predicted 40years old.

And that's only the half of it.
my mate had a double spine fusion, its not very nice for him he hasn't decided yet if it actually did him any good. He's not very bendy unlike me..due to the hyper mobility thing, something to do with high collagen, I can not only look forward to being more normal( less bendy) as i get older, but I will look a lot younger than most crinkleys my age, collagen levels also predict how wrinkley you get. also I'll probably not shrink either...wehey im indoors will be happy in later life!!

I'm surprised no-one has asked for a picture of said bum so they can judge!

Well, I'm certainly not going to...

I do believe you took a sneaky pic on the North/South when I was trying to avoid your camera... or were you fibbing as a wind-up - afterall, I've yet to see any evidence.


Anyway - enough of my backside thankyou very much - it's mine, so ner. This is a serious thread about serious issues of retailer misrepresentation and consumer ... er... shrinkage... um...

... yeah right.
