Men, Lies will find you out.

Had this in work.

I have amended the application form that was originally sent to you. In

the application, which was completed with my (now fiance) Kate asking

me the questions on the form and getting me to then check and sign it in

her presence, in ‘Medical Disclosures’ it wrongly stated that I had been to

the doctors for chest pains. This is not correct. To explain:

I had to fabricate a ‘little white lie’ to Kate to cover me taking time off

work. I had taken half a day’s leave to play golf with my brother (neither

the activity nor the person are popular with Kate!) so when challenged I

‘panicked’ and stated I had gone to the doctor to get checked out and

invented the story about tests, etc. (which I had not revealed prior to

completing your form, hence I could not delete the information with Kate

standing over me stating “we need to get this off so check it and sign it”).

I have now ‘come clean’ – and even proposed and been accepted – and

learnt valuable lessons:

• There is no such thing as a ‘little white lie’

• Be sure your sins will find you out?

• My chest is fine but my swing is rubbish!

• I love my brother but live 24/7 with Kate!

• Diamonds have a habit of solving arguments with women!

I hope that this is read by a) golf-playing male or b) an understanding

female who realises just how pathetic men are …”

Not my case to deal with, however if I had it to deal with would be tempted to ring up and offer the happy couple a company golf umbrella!

Not quite the same but..

I'm currently filling out my BUPA application form - all the usual questions about previous conditions - have come clean about an ongoing back problem, cos there is no point not doing so. However, one of the question is:-

"Is there any known or likely need for you to see a doctor or health professional (such as a physiotherapist or complementry therapist). Please inlcude symptons you know about, even if undiagnosed or untreated".

Now - as a triaflete how do I answer that? I'm starting training for Bala on Jan 1st - you can bet your bottom dollar that at some point between then and June I will have to go to the physio or oesteopath - but I have no known symptons YET. I want to be honest but what do I say - "probably, cos I'm a triaflete".???

M...eldy

treat the question as black and white.  The answer is 'no'


although the probability is 'yes'

The Trickster

I think that comes under the mental health section Min?

Aha - thanks Trickster!

Yeah - thats how I've treated - the truthful answer is probably but right here and now - no!

Excellent letter there !!

And I dont think triathletes are more injury prone than runners ? Prob less as we do other things ?

I've not seen a physio yet.

Touch wood.

my friend had a life insurance man come to visit

he got to the :

"have you had any surgery?" question
and my friends husband said

"yes, i have been circumcised"

"no, you haven't"

"yes, i have"

"darling, you have NOT  been circumcised"

"i have, i had it done when i was 14"

"no, you haven't!!"

etc

you can imagine the bloke sitting there, pen poised, really wanting to p*ss himself laughing
turns out he had had a snip to release his foreskin, byut it was all still there and very much cavalier - i always think he must have run back to the office to tell his mates
