I felt embarrassed because...

Don't worry Obie your food will find it's own way there ( wherever it is)

Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'my heart was in my mouth'...

When you get the stomach ache it is your guts (intestines) that are probably hurting!

I've just done a basic first aid course and your heart is basically between your nipples (if you have pert boobs (or none!) but if your boobs are round your waist then probably look behind your ears!)

I think I may be a bit slow on the uptake sometimes.
that's the first time I have ever noticed it

Actually, it would have worked better if you had done it like this:

I think I may be a bit slow on the uptake sometimes.

Anya! I've just 'got' what you meant by the through jingl thing! I thought it was a typo.

Cheeky mare!

I say Tummy

Reading through this has given me a good "belly " laugh!

It just wouldn't be the same if we called it a stomach laugh or tummy laugh.

I must admit I didn't think that the stomach was that high up, but when you get a 'tummyache' or 'stomach ache' it's usually lower down and everyone (even doctors!) know what you mean.

I certainly wouldn't be embarrassed by not knowing exactly where my actual stomach was.

I too had always thought tummy and stomach were the same thing.

Hate the word 'womb'.

Uterus!!! You can't call it a womb in 2016!

^"the crib cage" Grannygrunt123 Is that a new name for the womb?

Yep. My DH too.

Thought you meant the real thing, though twenty four hours would be a record even for the NHS.

DH used to call it that!

Oh! You're talking about another tv programme! Sorry!

Prefer Casuality meself, anno thanks very much!

-our stomach is in the centre just below the rib cage---

I had an ache in my -- intestinal area-- tummy the other day.

Perhaps I should have got Charlie Fairhead to look at it.

24 Hours in A&E is much better because it's real. Not on at the moment.

It doesn't cause it. It's diagnostic.

Yes. Watch cas. Don't learn much though.
