In that case, wait. (Warning for other readers, too much information follows
I've had the odd testicular lump on and off for the last 20 years and mostly they just vanish themselves away in about four weeks.So, (a) don't worry yourself unnecessarily (b) tell the doc when you get there in a fortnight (c) even on the unlikely offchance that it turns out to be something seriously bad and two-week delay will make damn-all difference.

thanks for the replies, ill wait out the two weeks, honestly im not sat here thinking its something big, just a tad concerning given my family history.

I've been told if it's painful that's good, as C tends to be non-painful lumps. But I'm not a doctor and don't know shit. I'd say not a lot is likely to happen in two weeks, it's up to you how worried you are.

Yeah home recording is always a little dry. Plus you need to be able to turn your amp up loud to record them well. And drums, drums are a bitch. In my old band (Occasional Kings, youtube them, there's some good stuff up there) the drummer/keyboard guy was a studio wiz and had a pretty great setup. We recorded our great lamented never finished demo in his little studio room and it actually sounded pretty good, although it was far cleaner and less dirty than our live sound was. He did the drums electronically and most people think they're real when they hear it. But we want to do it all live and for real from now on, the feel of it is better I think.
And yeah man, if you want to record us you're welcome, even if it's just as a testbed to brush your skills up on

Nah. There's a lot of shitty stuff about England, but as a whole I think we're largely alright.
What don't you like about City? They have lots of money? They produced one of the best ends to a season of all time last season I think.

Seanbob11, remove 2 apostrophes. If you remove the correct ones I'll give you something good.
I'm glad it isn't just me caring about that stuff!
I've tried to rein in my grammar Nazi ways because it's all the more embarrassing when I make a mistake!
EDIT: Can't we ban "in before", if we're going to ban anything?
ah ok, That makes sense I suppose. It's not as simple as hitting record and playing a tune. Got any funny stories form when you used to record for bands? Also, you still owe us a crazy neighbour story...I think.
I can't remember promising a crazy neighbor story... remind me the context and maybe I'll remember what I was going to say!
The first recording story that comes to mind:
We had to do a 4 track session with a band as part of our course at college, so we split into groups of 5. 4 good friends and I are in a group together, we go to a local gig at the Cellar Bar and find a band who want to come and record with us.
At this point, we hadn't realised that people in bands usually class A douchebags, so we've decided to show our thanks by buying a load of cans of coke, some cookies, some mini cakes, choccy bars etc so the band can munch away throughout the day.
The band turns up and the first thing anyone says to us is the drummer, who demands that we sign some "contract" his mum wrote up to make sure they own the recording and we can't do anything with it without their permission.
I refuse to sign it, saying that we won't exactly be selling their CDs, but we can't sign something like that without knowing more about it - we need to use the recording for our coursework. To be honest, I didn't really see the problem in it, but the guy rubbed me up the wrong way. Whilst I was doing something, they got one of the girls in my group to sign it, saying they were going to walk away from this day of free recording if we didn't. Oh well, I bit my lip and we got on with it.
Every single time we recorded ANYTHING they refused to re-record a part or move on without hearing it through. Even if it was a guitar part they OBVIOUSLY messed up. We had to listen through it about 3 or 4 times.
When the singer had to go for a shit, they didn't let us keep recording the drums, because he needed to hear it or he wouldn't "know what was going on in the session".
So this sort of shittiness goes on for about 6 or 7 hours, but we've only got the 1 day booked to get this done, so we put up with it.
Towards the end of the day, we're recording the vocals. The rest of the band decides they're going to leave (taking all of the leftover food and drink we've bought with them, as we find out later, when we lock up and leave), so it's just us and the vocalist. On his 6th or 7th take recording the vocal to the last track, I notice Louise singing under her breath "more more more... how do you like it, how do you like it?" and it goes EXACTLY along with this tune. This gets me laughing, so I start copying her. By the end of a minute, all 5 of us are singing along to this track.
We stop when the guy comes in, he listens to the take and says "oh, just one more go and I have to go, but one more"
So, being entirely fed up with this crappy situation, we record his vocal, except we've set up another mic in the studio and we record ourselves singing "how do you like it? how do you like it? more! more! more!" through the whole thing. He comes back in, listens to the last take (we turn our mic recording down in the mix for this) and decides he's happy.
We turn in the normal mix for our coursework, but send the 'More More More Mix' to the band. We actually added a lot of other annoying noises like classic "BOOIING!" cartoon noises etc to make the tracks entirely useless.
So the band writes a massively long email to us , being hugely furious, obviously. They also got the drummer's mum to write to the college, demanding we be failed for using their recording without their permission.
When our course head pulled us into the office to ask wtf was going on, we were pissing ourselves laughing, trying to explain what had happened to him. He loved the story so much that he wanted a copy of the messed up version so he could listen to it - unfortunately we couldn't find that recording on the HDD in the studio.
I suggested we write back to the band asking for a copy, but was told it probably wouldn't be a good idea

My bos's at work put's apostrophe's in all word's ending with s.
It's easy, apostrophes are for:
Contractions (it is=it's, we are=we're)
Possession (Ball belonging to Jane=Jane's ball, iPad made by Apple= Apple's iPad)
The one abuse I see the most is photo's. Photos is the plural of photo. Menus is the plural of menu. Plurals don't need apostrophes.
UNLESS you are denoting possession (see above)
The dogs' bone=bone belonging to the dogs
The dog's bone=bone belonging to the dog
The photo's composition is wrong=the composition belonging to the photo
The photos' arrangement is all over the place=the arrangement of the photos
See? Now you try!

Where's this? I can't find anything about stealth brag getting banned.
"It's" and "its" fuck everything up.
Today I learned the the difference between farther and further.
I hope you will still be celebrating furthers day

Tell me more tell me more was it love at first sight?
Its without an apostrophe=belonging to it
It's with an apostrophe=contraction of it is or it has
I've just walked out of the casino at Stratford and (over) doubled my money at playing drunk Blackjack.
Part of me curses the last DLR home, but another part makes me think KentPaul would smile upon me, so I guess all is right with the world.
EDIT: Oh, and I should add that playing hours of Fallout: New Vegas may or may not have helped in my hustling prowess.

Damn at Scorcho...
It was QI after all. I must have seen more guests than there were in reality. Clarkson was a guest, I did not know or recognize the other gentlemen.
Lovely work by Fry, as always.

Nice one dude! So when's the second date?
Me too, can't get rid of the things either, lost their value since it's out soon I think.
Just no one wants to play SHIT.
People will be playing Dota2 when your brown generic shit "I wish I was in the army" sims have finally died a death after draining all your cash to buy little camo onesies for you to run around in while you play dress up and yell "man down" in the mirror.

Glad to hear everything went well 3Sixty
Post dinner ice cream works all the time! hahaSo, apart from myself, is anyone looking forward to the Windows 8 tablets coming out? come on, I know there are some MS fanboys lurking in here. I can smell it.
Get with the times Steve, Kent-kun plays JRPGs now.
More like speed chess on crack, with Russians.
kentpauls favourite game of the month is kingdom hearts 3d on his imported japanese 3ds.
