An old mate of mine would not, for whatever reason, believe that I’d had testicular cancer. It took me whipping out my ersatz silicone bollock and repeatedly twatting it on the edge of the table and flicking it hard with my finger.

I still don’t think he was entirely convinced. Perhaps he thinks there’s a lot more wrong with me than inventing a condition for which I had two surgeries and chemo.

Have you also been lying about your aphantasia to gain millions too?

You make us sick.

I've been put in mind of the only time I may have been hoodwinked into handing over money by an internet person. Back in 1999, cancer patient Robin's last hurrah pub crawl sounded like something worth throwing a tenner at. Never heard another word about it, which is why I suspect it was a scam. Hey, we were all a lot more wide-eyed and innocent, back then, weren't we?

Whatever you do, keep being you. Btw if someone asked me to visualise an apple I wouldn’t , there are so many to choose from. in a nanosecond brain would rush through them all. But an apple Ed gave me from his rucksack in the park while we watched pooches and talked, I’ll always remember that one. Ain’t brains strange and wonderful? 🥰
