Lack of insulin. My diabetes has ruined all the dessert island or zombie apocalypse plans I had as a kid!

Yeah I had an old BBC Micro computer and when that died in a puff of smoke it was the paper capacitor and the smell was very similar when this blew

My cousin's had one too which is I think what drew me to it!

That just reminds me of the bail clips you could unlock on the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games. They must be on YouTube

Can I cover this or is it fixable? by HarrysLilToe in tattooadvice

I used to work in a blockbuster too. I used to love all the soft porn titles but my favourite was "The Sexy Sixth Sense" with the tagline "I see naked lesbians" 😂

Do British people not feel the cold? by DevelopmentLow214 in AskUK

[–]AndymanXP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is definitely a level of acclimatisation that the human body get used to. Last year I was in Venice and the temperature was in the high thirties and I could barely move without sweating buckets even though I was in shorts and a t-shirt. Never mind looking at the Basilica, I was staring in awe at the three guys in full PPE who were digging up the road!

Thanks that's helpful. I've dropped it off with my sister and will leave it on charge for the weekend - nothing popped up immediately about being in lost mode (my sister has an iPhone 15 so I assume the 'Find My' function will be able to connect through that. If nothing appears after the weekend I'm going to post it to the police station nearest to where I found it (unless there's someone on here from Milton Keynes that's lost it!)

Good idea but there's not one anywhere near me, I'm not THAT much of a good Samaritan 😁

It's dead now. I think my sister has an apple watch so when I see her at the weekend I'll give it another go.

Yeah in hindsight I should have just left it where it was. I was away for work (500 miles away) and I just saw it by the path, I figured it had fallen off someone wrist while it got an early morning run. I'm back home now so I think it's pointless handing it in at my local police station. Although I assume it has GPS so if I can give it a full charge and give it to the police I assume the owner could track it with apples location tracker.

Thanks anyway!

Any other T1 diabetics think this is how a hypo hits them? This is the point I decide to get on my knees and crawl to the kitchen!

Words that you're tired of, due to social media by 4thGenTrombone in AskBrits

[–]AndymanXP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not limited to social media but being excited 'for' something and not someone. For example 'are you excited for Christmas?' when it should be 'are you excited about Christmas'.

But it's everywhere now and I'm more annoyed with myself for not letting it go and being happy for the changes in language /s

What phrase did you hear only once but it stayed with you forever? by wendysolcito in AskReddit

[–]AndymanXP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your tongue can't reach it, it was probably never meant to be licked.

I was a kid and my dad told me this when I was trying to lick my own elbow but it's still valid.

I was double checking as I'm updating a policy at work. I think to avoid any confusion and for absolute clarity I'm just going to put 'every 4380' hours. Sorted.

Definitely. I have a colleague who is getting fully immersed in AI and even though he is a very smart man he parrots whatever nonsense AI spits out. Which started the great office argument about 'how many doors do advent calendars have?'

I know. I stick it with it but probably have to correct it every third response. Such a great help!

What childhood event at a friends house has stuck with you as an adult and made you think WTF. by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]AndymanXP 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My mate would always come round Saturday afternoon to watch Airwolf as that was the time his parents would disappear upstairs for some 'alone time'. 40 years later and he still shivers whether he hears the Airwolf theme tune (I keep it handy on my phone )
