In this house, poo sticks is the colloquial expression for the
biennial bowel cancer testing kit. The idea of playing that
competitively is mind-boggling.

Can't M Macron just ask Parisians to keep their sewage to themselves for
the day? Failing that, 1500m is only 30 lengths of the Olympic swimming
pool ...

There is an age limit even on that. Over 74s aren't invited to play,
though they can still ask to do so. The sticks seem a bit more high tech
now, rather than reminders of the ones you used to get to get with ice
cream tubs at the pictures.

YANAOU. But in Scotland at least, they've stopped giving a set of sticks
to sample over several, now it's just a single plastic gizmo you use
once.

As you get older, you will find that you can no longer play poo sticks
(the NHS version).
