Not wishing to be morbid but when you die, odds on your bowel will empty so no-one will know if your pants were clean or not. Andy
Hehehe - nothing to do with dying in the street for me because with a couple of pairs of pants it got to the stage where even I was thinking c'mon man it looks like no-one cares. And if when wiggling me toes I'm scratching the end of me boot then I'm thinking I need to cut me nails plus the socks need replacing. I have to say I do always find it little strange browsing for such items, especially in 'Tu' at Sainsburys as it was in this case, and equalling disconcerting looking at the model on the pants packaging and wondering if my physique would be so transformed when wearing them.
My heated gilet gave up the ghost the other day so I was enormously pleased to find a spare one earlier. I also received a small torch through the post which is (a) extremely powerful, (b) has a strobe function. Naturally, being an 11 year old boy trapped in a middle aged man’s body, I had to strobe myself to see whether it would have my effect on me and I’m sorry to say that it has made me feel a bit sick and I can sense the beginnings of a migraine so I’ve had to take a sumatriptan tablet in order to head (no pun intended) it off at the pass.
For me boxers go in the bin once the arse has completely rotted out of them and socks when they have basically become a tube! Yes I dress like a tramp.
Visions of Tommy Cooper and the camera flash sketch So I have to ask, apart from self harm, what is the purpose of a torch strobe function?
We’ve had a spate of break ins round these parts and having given up my guns a few years ago, I’ve had to explore other options for deterring prowlers than shooting them in the face. It’s very disorienting- no idea if it will work in practice and hope I don’t have to find out.
Took the first steps to becoming an IAM National observer today, will hopefully be starting the course in the spring, and aiming at taking my qualification assessment in the Autumn...looking forward to the challenge
Hope it all goes well and you can see past the idiosyncrasies of each of the mentors who help you through the process. Everyone has their own take on how it should be despite having the same source documentation If you feel the need to bounce anything off someone, please feel free to PM me or any other NOb on here Andy
Started the ball rolling to claim my work pension. Go to the pension website and email the Customer Relationship Team as per the contact details. I received an automated reply stating if my enquiry relates to pensions I can email Employer Pensions. I then emailed Employer Pensions; get an automated reply telling me someone will be in touch. Just been copied into an email from Employer Pensions to the Customer Relationship team telling the Customer Relationship Team to contact me. Why do I get the impression this is going to be hard work…
Tell me about it.... I feel your pain. Although not pensions I'm presently doing the admin with the health service for Mrs Bee's treatment and I must have had the need to log into at least 4 different web sites. Each for a slightly different purpose e.g. comms from the surgery, comms from the hospital/consultant, appointments etc. And in each case the links are often prefaced with things like "Your primary care provider has chosen to use 'blah blah' as it's booking appointment partner" As if I give a chuff who they have selected as their 'kin booking partner all I want to do is book an appointment. Preferably from the same place I am logged into presently. The government/state/civil service are trying to overlay online working onto aged & sclerotic paper system(s) that have a good deal of personnel & process resistance to change. There's just too many internal departmental silos, empires & interested parties for it to ever work efficiently and to the benefit of the user.
I have been told by a paramedic not to call 999, but to call 111*, you will get a faster response, as the 111 calls take precedence over the 999 calls *sure it was 111, will check and confirm later **confirmed, it is 111
No, i was told this by a paramedic friend, my wife called 999 for her mother, he was on switchboard, said every 111 call that comes in is guaranteed a response within 1 hour, whereas 999 calls are not, so, the 999 ambulance calls keep getting pushed further back in the queue
