  • 23-year-old man left impotent after a scratch from his cat

    Paws for thought…

    23-year-old man left impotent after a scratch from his cat

    A twenty-three-year-old man has been left unable to get an erection, after being scratched by a cat.

    The man, who lives in Belgium has been left impotent, at the age of 23, after a scratch by a cat left him with a potentially life-threatening disease. The man’s cat had given him “cat scratch disease” according to BMJ Case Reports.

    Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) is caused by a bacteria called Bartonella henselae which can leave those infected with fevers, swollen lymph nodes and can even become fatal if there are complications reports the Sun.

    The bacteria can be found on the claws and in the mouths of cats.

    The victim went to his doctors after developing a pain in his testicles and unable to get an erection. On further investigation, it was revealed that he had been clawed by a cat in his home.

    Doctors were able to save the patient’s erections, but only by taking swift action and putting him on a course of antibiotics. He was cured in three weeks.

    Writing in the report, Doctor’s said, “The symptoms quickly vanished and he fully regained his erectile function.

    “In this case, the patient was unable to provoke erection despite his will even during periods of calm symptoms.”

    According to the Sun, around 12,000 Americans have been diagnosed with CSD. Victims suffer fever, fatigue, headaches and swollen lymph nodes. Of those diagnosed, 500 needed hospital treatment.

    So think twice before letting your cat lick you or scratch you. You should also wash your hands or open wounds thoroughly.

  • Can you guess the one question that David Walliams is asked about Simon Cowell all the time?

    Is Simon Cowell gay?

    Is Simon Cowell gay
    Simon Cowell’s sexuality is, apparently the number one question asked of his co-judge on Britain’s Got Talent, David Walliams.

    Apparently, it’s the most asked question funny man, David Walliams is asked about his Britain’s Got Talent fellow judge, Simon Cowell. The Little Britain creator told fellow comic John Bishop about the line of questioning on his brand new show, on W, In Conversation With.

    Of course, viewers of the show will know about the constant flirting and innuendo between the two, so how does David answer this question about Simon Cowell’s sexuality?

    David Walliams who has himself admitted that gender was not important for future relationships said that he was “starstruck” by Simon Cowell and said that he had a “crush” on the UK’s most powerful music man.

    Well apparently, the one thing, according to David, that makes Simon uncomfortable is any questioning about his sexuality, who said,

    “I’ve played up to it. It does make him quite uncomfortable and I suppose that’s why I do it because I feel like my job on that show is to completely wind him up.”

    Starstruck by Simon

    David Walliams said he found himself starstruck by Simon Cowell and that he had a bit of a crush on the music man.

    David, who revealed that gender was not an important factor when choosing a partner, then revealed that he had a bit of a crush on Simon, who’s currently appearing on ITV’s X Factor,  saying, “I am quite starstruck by him and he has got a lot of charisma so it is hard not to have a little bit of a crush on him.”

    Last year Simon came under fire from viewers after he made an inappropriate comment to presenter Rylan about liking it by the back door. Viewers have also noted Simon’s constant sexuality jibes towards fellow X Factor judge, Louis Walsh.
    Simon is partnered with Lauren Silverman and together they have one child, Eric who was born in 2014.
     The third series of John Bishop’s hit Q&A-style programme airs Thursday nights at 9pm on W
