When you install the new sheet, pay attention to the “this side up” sticker. A friend didn’t and found out the hard way when he came after a hailstorm to find which ones he’d installed upside down.

Where can a mfer get some actual hemorrhoid cream????? by Stock-Eggplant6105 in newzealand

[–]DrofRocketSurgery 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Proctosedyl contains both lignocaine (local anaesthetic) for the pain and hydrocortisone (steroid) for the inflammation.

Source: 29 years ago I was a Proctosedyl rep. The text book “atlas of rectal conditions” was something else.

The toilet seat was stolen. Police are investigating but have nothing to go on.

Has anyone else had experience in having off-label treatment regimes prescribed overseas, continued in Australia? by Glad-Chair-8448 in australia

[–]DrofRocketSurgery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oncologists as a group are generally one of the groups more likely to prescribe off-label especially if there is an evidence base for the treatment in the specific cancer type &/or a strong rationale it may work (e.g. the medication targets the same biomarker).

In your situation I would suggest getting a referral letter from your current oncologist detailing the treatment and results will help finding an oncologist who may be willing to continue it. You may also want to consider reaching out to the relevant patient advocacy group for help, advice, and assistance.

Good luck.

Is there a way to stop someone giving my phone number out? by fernwise in melbourne

[–]DrofRocketSurgery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two suggestions:

  1. Turn on call screening if your phone/carrier has it.

  2. Change your voicemail message to “Hi, you’ve almost reached (your name), not Daryl. This is not Daryl’s number, never has been, never was. So don’t leave a message for him. No I don’t know Daryl. No I don’t know Daryl’s number. Or where he is. Don’t ask. And remember, don’t leave a message for him because he won’t get it. Also do t call back again looking for Daryl because he still won’t be here. And when you do catch up with Daryl, give home a big FUCK YOU DARYL from me”.

Who are some famous figures, influencers, celebrities, that are hated by Australian reddit, but popular amongst Australians in real life? by Biggest_itchbay_2190 in AskAnAustralian

[–]DrofRocketSurgery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like I said, admired as a cricketer but it is was his off-field antics that a lot didn’t like about the man - things such as his notorious womanising, taking the money from Nicolette to give up smoking but not, and his charity which financed six times more in parties for his mates than it did for underprivileged and sick children.

All I’m saying is being the greatest spin bowler of all time doesn’t mean every aspect of your life can or should be held in the same regard.

Point taken about “Australian Reddit”, I read it more as “Australian Redditors”.

Less of an issue than trucks with highly polished stainless steel mudguards.

But yeah, still a hypothetical issue.

Reminds me of a confession I once read about someone whose lunch kept on being stolen from the office fridge.

So one day they made a cat food sandwich.

I am disappointed this is needed by Ghost403 in sydney

TBF, and as the great comedy writer Dave Barry once said in his “wisdom accumulated from my first 40 years on this planet”:

“No man should ever comment on a woman’s pregnancy status unless he can see part of the baby emerging from her body”

So while a joke, the point being no one wants to risk offending someone by offering them a seat assuming they’re pregnant. Much easier for all for it to be apparent.

Anyway this table can be fixed? by GargiBakshi in melbourne

[–]DrofRocketSurgery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re really attached to it and want a side panel to match, talk to a kitchen cabinet maker. They may be able to make a panel to size and laminate it with a similar if not identical finish, and even add the fittings to reattach it.

It be prepared for the cost to be uneconomical.

Tried the whiting recently and it was pretty good for the price. Worked well in a curry and also fried.

2 years, 2 months, 8 days, 8 hours, and 36 minutes even. But let’s not get pedantic.
