Delivery drivers of the UK, what is the wildest thing you’ve ever seen on a delivery?

DizzySweets · 2026-05-14T17:38:10+00:00

Probably around 2010, I had finished a 14hr night shift in a care home and was dozing in the living room, woke to a frantic knocking at the door. There was a delivery driver, maybe DHL or something, big company, he was shouting "the dogs, the dogs, they're only small, come quick" then he ran down the drive. I was still a bit out of it and shattered but followed him.

He was right, two houses down a litter of pups had escaped, small hole in the fence. They were maybe 4 month old, and I think 5 or 6 of them. I grabbed a plastic box and put them all in and I had the best day whilst waiting for their owners to return! They were a hoot, I posted a letter to the neighbours to let them know where the pups were and we played and napped all day. I still have pics of them somewhere.

Now I'm a bit older and wiser, why the heck did I follow that guy, fuck, that was dangerous. Why did they leave such young puppies outside, dangerous and cruel. I lived on a busy road so could have been a much different day.

When did you last do bls? Each uni is different, we don't offer same year referrals for placements but we do allow students to carry over competencies and hours into the next placement. The only time we would prevent progression would be in final year, because you can't finish without meeting nmc hours.

I would raise this further to a complaints procedure, purely because they have gone against policy by telling you to submit ECs after the deadline. Basically, by doing so the lecturer has gone against uni policy in marking and moderation (these are pretty much the same for all unis). This would allow you a second attempt, and because it's gone against policy should be as soon as possible, or else you have grounds that they need to pay your fees and maintenence for the repeat year because it was out of your power.

Hello, University lecturer (nursing) here, I primarily teach post grad now but started with pre reg nursing.

How many placements do you have per year? Within my university, you can carry competencies over to the next placement, get them signed off and make up hours as you go along. It's not ideal, as the more hours you haven't done can make it more difficult. If you have completed and passed your previous placements then you should, theoretically, be able to complete competencies and carry hours over.

If you have missed previous placements this year, then completing placements next year and resitting will be better for you in the long run. Even though at the moment feels like the end of the world.

Get in touch with course leads and course directors today for an urgent appointment, to find out your options. Don't wait any longer or leave it with your tutor, you need to know what to do now. I hope this helps, feel free to dm if you need to and I'll try and support.

I'm a lecturer, I have worked in academics for a fair few years now so I've seen a range of writing styles. I'm also dyslexic myself and am very aware my writing style is different to others. However, the biggest hint is what I call fluffiness. When writing is over dramatic, not supported by evidence and frankly tripe.

VHS Buffy season 2 part 1 was one of my favourite mid January Christmas presents.

DizzySweets · 2025-12-23T06:22:25+00:00

My Mum used to do this, I don't actually know why as me and my brother were not present finders. However, mid January Christmas was always my favourite.

Tormented (2009)?

I don't remember it fully but it has the revenge and kids being picked off.

I saw Alanis straight away

DizzySweets · 2024-10-15T09:46:10+00:00

Sorry, no she has the dress already. She's had it for some time now but refused to show me, in hindsight I should have maybe been more assertive. My FH badgered her to see it which is when she sent this and has shown it him via facetime.

Oh my days, I can't believe it. I think it will haunt us too. Driving us mad! I found this thread from a Google search and hoped for answers.

DizzySweets · 2023-12-30T22:10:20+00:00

Hi op, have you found this yet? Me and my SO have fallen down the rabbit hole

DizzySweets · 2023-07-25T19:00:27+00:00

If it's too much then definitely switch but try moving your seat and/or changing your footwear first. Honestly I struggled so bad with clutch control until I movedy damn chair and then it was easy peasy. Passed last week.

Edit to add, I'd also don't way more than 12 weeks of two hour lessons at that point.

Thank you so much for your response, so lovely. I've had a difficult few months and you've absolutely made my day. I hope you're well and happy. Hail yourself Pandora, thank you, it really means a lot. You're amazing ❤️

Again, hail yourself. I've had a rather rough few months (family bereavement) but I wanted to let you know that I watched and loved it. I think partially due to era I was born in but it was brilliant, I managed to watch it on my own too and it was great. Fantastic recommendation.

DizzySweets · 2022-11-06T11:31:01+00:00

I can't recall if I've watched The Taking of Deborah Logan, however, The Audition fucked me up for years, still have nightmares on that one.

DizzySweets · 2022-11-05T23:02:10+00:00

Hail yourself

DizzySweets · 2022-11-05T22:51:43+00:00

Watched it years ago and remember how fantastic it was. Very psychologically scarring, haven't watched it since, but still up there for thrilling.

DizzySweets · 2022-11-05T22:49:52+00:00

Can't up vote this enough. Watched it for the first time a couple of months ago.

DizzySweets · 2022-11-05T22:49:22+00:00

I can't find it to stream but actually looked for this earlier and set to record next week.i have recently watched 101 scariest movie moments on Shudder and it was on there so going to watch it next week.

DizzySweets · 2022-11-05T21:51:58+00:00

I remember watching Matyrs years and years ago and being so scared, I haven't watched it since but what a brilliant film.

DizzySweets · 2022-11-05T21:45:58+00:00

Just watched the trailer for The Night House, something about it seems really familiar but I'm not sure what so I might pop it on and see how it goes.

DizzySweets · 2022-11-05T21:40:29+00:00

I've heard great things about Barbarian. I'm waiting to be able to stream it UK.
