Cheers and belated happy birthday. Yep, the NHS sure are quick of the mark when you reach that age; almost like they're worried about you.

There aren't concerned enough to check their own records ... Herself got the same when she turned 60, but since what they are looking for is "fecal occult blood" and she has had Colitis for several years the test is guaranteed to show blood.

Happy Birthday, Old Dog!
(I suppose it is enough end-of-the-month to be your birthday).

Last Sunday, but thank you anyway.
I'm now officially an Old Fart.
And on Monday, I got a letter from the NHS (who have never been at all interested in me before) to say "Now you are 60, we want your pooh!" They do bowel cancer screening and I now have to wipe my ass with an official form every two years ... I've had a few government forms I've been tempted to use as TP, but ...

When I turned 60, I had myself made a T-shirt with the text "You don't have to be senile to be demented, but it sure helps".
(For those who do not know: "Senile" by itself only means "old" - ref. "senate", the elders. The medical business counts everyone past 60 as senile. Using the term "senile" as a shorthand for "senile dementia", which is quite common in many European languages, is really a misnomer.)

So you are telling me that vindaloo does not work?

Nah, I prefer to taste the spices.
Not that I'm adverse to hot food, I still munch on Scotch Bonnets when I get hold of them. Just Vindaloo and Phal aren't designed to taste, just act as a "Macho test" for drunken idiots ...

I have no idea of any food item that you have mentioned (including vindaloo). I first saw it in restaurants in UK and then in memes and jokes online.
I personally do not like "hot" food. It is basically remove flavours and add chilly.

Exactly that: it's a "I can eat it hotter than you" competition food for drunks.
Not worth eating ... I like spicy food, and Chilli helps with that, but you need balance rather than a toilet roll in the freezer!

Quote: Chile relleno
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
...
Chile rellenoChile Rellenos.jpg
Chiles rellenos
Course Entre
Place of origin Mexico
Serving temperature Hot
Main ingredients Poblano pepper, egg, cheese
Variations Hatch chile, Anaheim pepper, pasilla, meat
Cookbook: Chile relleno
Media: Chile relleno
The chile relleno (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtʃile reˈʎeno], literally "stuffed chile")[1] is a dish in Mexican cuisine that originated in the city of Puebla.
...
Mexico
In Mexico, it consists of a stuffed, roasted, fresh poblano pepper (a large and mild chili pepper named after the city of Puebla), sometimes replaced with a Hatch chile, Anaheim, pasilla or even jalapeño chili pepper. In 1858 it was described as a "green chile pepper stuffed with minced meat and coated with eggs".[1]
You better should not go to Mexico and eat this, then. It would reduce you to radioactive ash and then you would be reborn as a Mexican with the superpowers to be totally immune to pain in your mouth and to actually taste something when you eat such food. 
The downside is that these superpowers will not help you to return to anyplace north of the Mexican border...
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

You lucky, lucky bastard! I turned 50 end of last year and the guberment sent me a kit. 2 months later they sent me a letter wonder where my business was. Threw them all out, if I get any form of cancer they will find it when they cut me open to see why I'm no longer moving.

I didn't get an email from that post. I did get a warning from Sean though.

Pooh looked on admiringly.
"I'm just saying 'A Happy Birthday'," said Owl carelessly.
"It's a nice long one," said Pooh, very much impressed by it.

Hey - urine luck! Fill a large bucket for them and turn it in - Tell them you could make up your minds as to which the important bits were and which weren't so important.
Should they say you really have a lot a gall - point out that it would probably require a different test.

There are a few problems with this concept, appealing though it is. The primary concern is that Herself is going to complain - vociferously - during the initial "accumulation" phase long before the large bucket is full, and continually - with increasing stridency - during the remaining period.
Regrettably, this flaw is going to be unsurmountable, so the project will have to be abandoned.

Whether at home, or at the NHS offices, that particular aspect was a given.
