    Although there are arguments about the origin of this word it was first coined as a single word by Jeremy Taylor in the 1960's in a song and later made popular by the Esther Rantzen TV show 'That's Life' in the early 70's

    This should put a smile on your face.

    Jeremy Taylor had a huge hit in south africa with this song 'ag Pleeze Deddy' ....

    this song sold more records than any elvis presley record ... unless you lived there, you would find it difficult to understand what he is referring to, and you may find his accent difficult to understand

    Thank you all so much for your kind words, whether the cream will work as well as the antibiotics I shall only know with time. Whether I shall bother to go back I don't know. It's kind of depressing to find out that somebody who you thought would be "there for you" isn't!! Guess I'm just feeling kind of 'down'.

    Hi dim,
    That version was one of the early ones but it omitted the last verse - which got him into trouble with the government. I've still got the original record (with the last verse) that I bought 50 years ago. :heehee:

    I think I would feel that my doctor had stabbed me in the back by not telling me what he/she thought in the first place. After all, who was doing the prescribing? Maybe your doctor has a prescription abuse problem?

    Antibiotics are only effective against bacteria, not viruses. Did either doctor test what the infection actually was? They certainly should have done if they were in doubt.

    Goodness knows what is written on my medical records. (time-wasting, cancer-paranoid fusspot, probably.) I believe doctors have secret codes, just in case a patient ever actually asks to see their records - or is that an urban myth?

    I think we would all be in for a shock if we did FOI requests to our doctors. I know I was :mad:

    These first two lines are the last two lines of the recording you heard.

    Ag PLEEZ Deddy
    Foetsaak !!

    Ag Soos Deddy,
    If we can't go up to Bioscope
    We’ll go off to Durban
    Life's a heck of a bore
    If you won't take us to the zoo
    Then what the heck else can we do?
    But go on out and murra all the uggies next door

    If you want to be bored I can post the words of the whole song :heehee:

    HYDROGEN,
    The last line doesn't sound particularly bad and the direct translation says 'hit the men next door' but it was a term used for saying they would beat up the natives!!!

    The song was taking the pee out of the new Apartheid government (with some of his other songs) and it took the government a while to work out what he was doing. Then they 'asked' him to leave the country. By then it was the most popular song in the country and is still fairly well known 50 years later.

    Yes, the bacteria is staphylococcus, if you ever get a nasal infection and they do a swab this is usually the bacteria responsible.!!

    Last time I saw him he came up close to me to check my ears, and as he moved away he said "do you smoke"????? I got a lecture then as well!!
