Dear Answer Me This! listeners,
I’m sorry to tell you that Episode 72 isn’t coming out today – Helen had to go and have an operation, so must lie about in bed this week rather than mess about with audio files and whatnot. Provided she doesn’t choke on a grape or her own laziness, normal service will be resumed next Thursday.
If you want some amusement in the meantime, leave a comment guessing what operation she had done; first person to get it right wins a pair of surgical stockings and a pack of supermarket own-brand ibuprofen.
Yours,
Helen’s Mum

Hi Helen
Now that we know it was the old Gall Bladder removal I looked up what it is. It says on the internet that it produces bile… so now I am worried that you won’t have enough bile to go around!

Hi Helen. Just a stab in the dark here (that’s not my guess, by the way) but was it a gall bladder removal?

Helen had more gall than most people I know…and that’s saying a lot…however, I think she has less now than before after her gall bladder was removed.
keep on keepin’ on

Hi Helen, hope you’re feeling better, we all know from the podcasts how much of a lazy cow you are, could you be in for a sofaectomy?
October 22, 2008 at 4:46 pm |
shit, i meant heart, heart, ohh christ
October 22, 2008 at 4:45 pm |
did you get a piece of iraqi shrapnel taken out of your…. gall bladder? Or , did martin the sound man rip out your heat indiana jones and the temple of doom style style?
have a nice day
October 21, 2008 at 9:55 pm |
Just kidding. Brendan and Matthew are cool.
October 21, 2008 at 9:54 pm |
Removal of two unfunny egotistical bastards? I knew it.
October 20, 2008 at 5:50 pm |
Have you had an annoying, unnecessary growth removed and if so, who will be manning the sounds in the podcast from now on?
Get well soon!
October 20, 2008 at 1:43 pm |
Helen, I hope that you are in top form. I think that you have had your foot/ankle broken and reset or similar. I seem to recall you had a foot issue in your deep dark past, so I am going to go for the ghastly resurfacing of an old injury.
October 20, 2008 at 9:23 am |
I’ll second Badger’s suggestion as I went though the same thing as her in April & I suspect I am edumactionally similar
October 18, 2008 at 10:29 pm |
I am going to guess it somehow relates to the removal of ovarian growths, as that was my last operation, and I am similar in age, build, edumacational standard and knitting interest to Helen. Get well soon Ms Z.

HI HELEN!
SORRY YOU HAD TO HAVE AN OPERATION, AND I HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER SOON.
BEST WISHES
Gareth from Glasgow

PS. Is it an operation on your left foot?
October 18, 2008 at 9:25 am |
Good guesses so far! Albeit 100% incorrect…
Jen, to save your sanity you can find the answer to the song at the bottom of last week’s post – https://answermethispodcast.com/episode71/
October 18, 2008 at 8:40 am |
As no surgical dressings are visible i’m saying BUNIONS, those evil things that really can affect the young (and young at heart)…as much as i feel your pain helen – can you please tell us the answer to the song before another week has passed because if you don’t i think i might just go mad with it going around and around in my head…help help help
October 18, 2008 at 1:53 am |
is it an operation on something like a hand or an arm because of a hand or arm problem
October 17, 2008 at 5:55 pm |
It’s a wikipedia implant, so she can have faster-than-broadband fact access for all that etymology and classical Greek stuff she fills the ‘cast with. I look forward to hearing this new fact-per-second rate on Thursday.
Get well soon, Ms Z.
October 17, 2008 at 5:11 pm |
Hey Helen
Hope you feel better soon. As I have to go into hospital soon, I’m gonna go with what I need to have done:
Wisdom Tooth Extraction (multiple).
All the best!
October 17, 2008 at 7:57 am |
I think it must be a Hip-op. And i dont mean that helen’s gunna start rapping about her bitches on next weeks show.
Either that or i dunno, Chest hair removal?
October 17, 2008 at 7:22 am |
Its clearly some sort of issue caused by answering too many questions.
Or an ingrowing toenail.
October 16, 2008 at 8:32 pm |
I reckon the whole “Helen” thing is a massive con and “she’s” in for trans-urethral resectioning of the prostate.
October 16, 2008 at 5:19 pm |
Haemorrhoidectomy? …No?
October 16, 2008 at 3:15 pm |
gastric bypass in other words
or she could have accidentally chopped her thumb of
October 16, 2008 at 3:13 pm |
i think has had breast implants or stomach BYPASS surgery …
get better soon … bye
October 16, 2008 at 3:00 pm |
Knowing that she has a rubenesque form she probably had the same operation as Fern Brittain; a gastric band.
I look forward to seeing the dramatic results in the misleading slimming video.
October 16, 2008 at 2:27 pm |
Judging by the black tea, i’d say a routine colonoscopy.
Only freaks drink black tea.
October 16, 2008 at 1:44 pm |
Assuming that she’s not had a sense of humor bypass after all…
Appendix or tonsil -ectomy?
I hope you get well soon Helen… and that you haven’t had a humor bypass, for the show’s sake…
October 16, 2008 at 12:36 pm |
I’d say you’ve been hiding your pregnancy from us and the operation was a Caesarean to remove the triplets – Helen Junior, Olly Junior and Martin The Soundman Junior (the last one will be a bugger to put on the birth certificate, you’ll have to write really small in the space).
Get well soon
October 16, 2008 at 12:04 pm |
Of course! Quite obvious, really. Helen’s had a coffee cup surgically added to her hand! Add a caffeine drip IV and she’ll be good as gold by next week. See? It’s working already!
October 16, 2008 at 10:59 am |
Get well soon, Helen. What a fetching gown, though I’m not sure it’s quite your colour.
I can see what you’ve had done – the fingers on your left hand have been shortened. Is this the latest trend in body modification? Ought I have mine chopped off? I mean, it’d make it difficult typing, but who cares when fashion is at stake?
October 16, 2008 at 10:49 am |
NoOoOoOo! Helen, how on Earth could you put your health before Answer Me This?! How selfish!
My guess is Buttock Augmentation.
