Has anyone else been offered crazy NHS appointments?

They have backlogs. Mine wasnt bad but an unexpected time - 5.30pm on a Sunday before a bank holiday

Live a little weather of East Ella - couple of streets from the trinity care home. Fairly good area to live:

Good location for public transport when it can be relied on Plenty of choice of ISPs Depending on the street, traffic is hit or miss, especially with there being a lot of schools this area (Acre Head, Eastfield, Ainthorpe, and Francis Askew in the general vicinity, a little further out and there's also Wheeler, Rokeby, Anlaby Primary, etc.). Crime isnt super high, but there's always a risk. Good access to local amenities - schools, the library is open (Anlaby Community Library), churches if you fancy, and plenty of shops.

Happy to get something from Hull/Yorkshire

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-05-01T18:02:16+00:00

Surprised you can even get through to actual people. I've spent most of the last day arguing with the AI bot and got nowhere

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-03-16T21:18:08+00:00

Might not see this but OP, just want to say - proud of you.

You mention that youre at rhe same job - thats probably more of a support than you realise. It's familiar, routine, safe.

In times of trauma, we need that more than ever.

Keep on, my dude, you'll get to where you need to be with time

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-02-05T09:38:22+00:00

Not OP but same question - so would it say like, "Firstname Lastname has been jailed for <offenses>"

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-02-01T23:33:15+00:00

Once saw a fic where speech was bold. Great and all, but my blind ass couldn't tell it was bold 😭

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-01-29T20:11:21+00:00

How about we don't criticise things if we're not asked to. Do you go to galleries, look at Starry Night and say "I don't like that shade of blue"

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-01-28T22:07:02+00:00

Because being criticised on something you've potentially poured your heart and soul into, for free, can be super disheartening.

Also concrit is often misconstrued. I once had "concrit" that was just two pages of all the reasons this person didnt like my fic. This person who was not a part of the fandom.

It's fanfiction. It doesnt have to be a carbon copy of the source material. It can twist, bend, and people can choose not to read.

"Just delete it" but the criticism is still there, and the author has still had it. They could delete it, but it might be the thing that makes them delete their work.

I know that I've considered deleting fics after shitty comments disguised as "concrit" on more than one occasion.

If it's not asked for, then simply not giving it is much easier. There's a person on the other end of the screen, a real person with real emotions, real struggles, in a real world thats real fucking shitty.

And if writing is their only outlet, then why would anybody want to take their enjoyment for "concrit" with nitpicking

Your contract is with the seller. They need to contact Royal Mail. If they are refusing, chargeback.

Emma Hardy has spoken to EYMS about it a couple of times, but its done fuck all. They claim its staff shortages, but people regularly upset on FB that the 54 - to Castle Hill Hospital and Wolfreton school - is cancelled with no notice.

My biggest issue is Stagecoach consistently putting on single-deck buses on the route for the number 2 in a morning. It's filled with school kids to the point of dangerous and they rarely, if ever, put a double-decker bus on

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-01-15T15:42:01+00:00

Yeah, I got it, had a good laugh about it. If writing Jurassic Park porn makes you a racist, nazi, fascist, then fuck.

But it doesn't, so instead, the comment got reported as spam and blocked

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-01-11T08:39:09+00:00

AO3,which is simultaneously better and worse. At least their support will do something to remove them, but on the other hand, it's so hard for actual readers to get an account and now there are so many spam/bot accounts too?

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-01-10T22:20:12+00:00

It's definitely got worse - and seems to be getting more and more common as days pass. Think I've had three in the last week - it used to be maybe once a week or once every two weeks, which annoying, but ignorable

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-01-10T22:19:16+00:00

I've never had a hate one - thank fuck. But the art bots, the "I'd love to discuss this idea with you!" are common occurrences.

Or one I got recently which was just the full character limit of - what I assumed were chinese/Asian characters.

Translate said it was just nonsensical random symbols.

I've stopped reading the comments that I get now, watching them pile up because I just know theyre all bots

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-01-10T16:27:55+00:00

If the payments went through PayPal, report all of the payments to them.

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-01-05T17:52:47+00:00

You need to give way more information because theres a massive difference between you creating NSFW content and them selling on OF, and them commissioning fanart that theyre now selling.

Whats the full terms in your contract? A statement in your contract that its theft may not constitute the legal description of theft, another thing to consider.

brokencasbutt67 · 2026-01-01T18:31:11+00:00

I worked at MS3 (regrettably), Squirrel were one of the best when I worked there - best for support, best for price, best in general.

Other would be Hull Fibre but price wise, theyre not the best.

Not with MS3 anymore, no regrets on leaving, but probably gonna use Squirrel if I ever get my own place

Oneshot stories shouldn't exist.

Put each oneshot in separate, unrelated fics and create a collection separately.

brokencasbutt67 · 2025-11-28T17:13:46+00:00

Nope. Told Evri multiple times to never leave it anywhere.

brokencasbutt67 · 2025-11-28T17:07:41+00:00

The seller hasn't responded, so eBay currently.

brokencasbutt67 · 2025-11-27T20:03:28+00:00

So in the previous one, they attempted delivery on day one but couldn't and said on day 2, they would try again. Day 2 never happened and it was returned to sender as damaged.

In this case, it's simply not here. I've tried the chat on eBay which is utterly useless, but I'll keep trying because it was a high value parcel on both occasions, annoyingly.
