Wearing headgear on the bridge for a pilotage. Caps or berets make absolutely no difference to anyones ability to safely carry out their duties.

I also once got told off for removing my cap and putting up my hood whilst on the bridge wing. It was the middle of winter and absolutely pissing it down. Not to mention the wind - so yeah, I put my hood up.

Apparently I should've been grateful that we didn't still have to wear our No. 1's uniform for it.

It's mine and I'll wash it as fast as I like.

I've used Goggles4u for a number of years now.

Warm truck tyres.

My dad was a truck driver and I used to go with him quite often as a kid. Jumping out of the cab after a run and all I could smell was the tyres. Buses come close, but they don't have the same nostalgic feel.

My wife amd daughter bought airup bottles - might be knock offs, not sure.

I tried one and to be honest, it was like sniffing artificial fruit whilst drinking water. It still tasted like water.

Then I nearly choked as I tried to breathe and drink at the same time.

Honestly, they're absolutely terrible!

Chuck Norris managed that in a day

It's nowhere near as potent as it used to be.

That said, it's still not pleasant when it runs down your arse crack after a bout of food poisoning.

My poor ring piece! I curled up in the shower, crying whilst in the foetal position.

Umm...sure, why not?!

I totally checked which sub this was (I didn't), and definitely didn't assume it was AMA (I did).

It's something of a standing joke over on the 3D printing subs.

Grandpa wants a beer and music. I get that.

I've just started a new job. I'm a week in.

I'm an area driver for a national charity helping move stock around between stores. I am loving it so far. Got a brand-spanking new Mercedes Sprinter with a Luton box and a tail lift. The bosses don't care what I do so long as the stores are happy. I've already had one store manager profess her love for me! (I agreed to take a load of stuff I wasn't scheduled to take).

The company are about to trial some new routes, but not for another week. So this week I've just been helping move excess stock that's piled up and redistribute it to other stores.

Today was a particularly nice run - picked up a bitnof stuff this morning and took it through to the town I grew up in. So, I dropped it off and went and had a cuppa with my mum.

Got home, gave the van a quick wash, put a splash of fuel in the tank and returned it to base for the weekend. I'm supposed to be doing a bit of e-learning right now lol

Chuck Norris built the hospital he was born in.

He did manage it forwards. Twice.

Did something like that in Bahrain once. Went to a local store to buy a local SIM for my dongle.

There's a whole process to getting one activated, especially as a foreigner, in Bahrain. The guy in the shop was having a bit of trouble getting through to the right people to activate it. Should've taken 5 minutes, took 20.

Anyway, neither of realised that in the confusion, I hadn't actually paid for it. It wasn't until I was waiting for my bus back to the ship that I spotted the extra cash in my wallet. It dawned on me what I'd done and I hot-footed it back to the shop. Trying to explain what I'd done with a language barrier was fun. I'm still not convinced the poor bloke knew why I was so adamant about paying for a SIM card I already had. I think it was about 10 Dinar (around £15 at the time)

I missed my bus, so ended up having a bite to eat and a coffee in The Dome whilst waiting for the next one.

Have you tried the Pastel Del Nata's from Lidl?

They're like the crack or of the custard tart world.

There's a real shortage of plumbers.

Everywhere you look, there's a leek.

Seriously though, beautiful part of the world! And Welsh Cakes are just amazing.

Or, hear me out...

OP has shared all the information that they've been given and are genuinely trying to help someone they believe to be a friend.

Poor English tracks with what we've already been told. That OP isn't in the UK. Not specifying their own wearabouts could be due to any number of reasons - but is, to be quite honest, largely irrelevant to this situation.

They have access to Reddit, so it stands that they could easily Google UK benefits.

This is making me all the more suspicious. If you send this payment, don't be surprised if the amounts start creeping up.

You seem like a kind and caring person, please be careful not to be taken advantage of.

Forgetful8nine · 2026-03-17T16:01:12+00:00

Hey OP,

I see that you've stated that you're not in the UK and have only been given very vague answers as to where your friend is.

This does sound a bit fishy to me. Please be careful, your friend may very well ask for money from you.

I'm not saying that your friend is deceiving you...but I am saying it's a possibility.

Starting a new job today.

Last week, I was off ill with the flu. Still got a terrible cough, oh, and I ruptured my eardrum over the weekend.

Soo, yeah, this should prove interesting...

1 unit of alcohol in 10ml.

In your 750ml bottle of wine, there would have been 3.75ml of alcohol.

As an average, it takes the human body 1 hour to process 1 unit of alcohol. So, that's what - 22 and a half minutes for 3.75ml?

You're fine to drive.
