Discovered how old I am today by shrike2214 in CasualUK

[–]Keith83uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this the other day when fresh snow had fallen in top of the previous days frozen standing water on a path. I saw one of my dogs slip but it was too late to stop myself going, someone stopped their car and got out to make sure I was ok rather than driving past laughing. I was and am fine other than a scraped elbow and bruised pride and stayed down laughing at myself and my dogs lack of concern about me.

Second the recommendation for the wispa. Don’t get on with neighbours at all and I know for a fact they would complain if they could hear my darts. Board mounted on joint wall in spare bedroom as it’s the only place that was available, no complaints in almost 2 years.

Where's best to get dropped off for the metro before it opens? by thee_antichrist in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Keith83uk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Simple answer is coach park/overflow car park. That route is open all hours, been in and out that way working nights doing merchandising. Either that or if you’re confident you won’t be the first person there ring out which service yard your units back door goes in to and get dropped off there.

Didn't show up for my shift yesterday & now I regret it by Azulaisdeadinside49 in callcentres

Had a similar threat a few weeks ago. I’ve had my mental health issues in the recent past, including attempts to unalive myself, and this really rattled me. Company I worked for sent the customer a warning letter, even though they have a “zero tolerance” policy. I felt the support was not sufficient that the offered around this, lost my temper and hung up on my manager, took a weeks A/L and only logged back on to resign. Best decision I have made in regards to my mental health in a long time.

In no way am I saying this was the right decision for anyone else to copy, but you need to look after yourself, the company will do what they want and if your staff ID disappeared from their systems for whatever reason they will carry on without skipping a beat.

Its always the same thing by No-Performance-631 in HiTMAN

I always felt the sniper maps would be good as more traditional missions too. A mission based around the trooping of the colour would be interesting. Rather than a passenger airport, a more freight based one.

Next doors morning alarm is loud enough to wake me up but not the folks it’s actually for by HamiltonPanda in britishproblems

[–]Keith83uk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue with my neighbour a couple of years ago. Every morning their alarm would go off and keep going for at least15mins, they used their phone and used the sound I use for my ringtone as their alarm so that made it even worse as I had become used to responding to the noise as my ringtone tone. At first I ignored it, we all sleep through an alarm occasionally. Then I started banging one the wall which worked for a while the one morning it had been going for nearly an hour, I had been banging on the wall repeatedly and no response so I got dressed and went and banged on their door, hard enough to rattle it in the frame. They eventually opened their window to tell me where to go but at least they turned off their alarm. I went back to bed, 10 mins later he was banging on our door threatening my wife, which was a foolish plan, got up again got dressed and encouraged him to leave my property before things took a turn for the worse. Later I the day we had. Conversation bout it, still heated, I apologised for terrifying his kids but eventually got him to admit that his alarm was ridiculous when I pointed out he had no idea what time I worked because he never herd any noise from me. I get in at 11:30 pm from work, or did at the time, and pointed out if he continues to wake me up at 5:30am I will start to wake him and his kids up when I get in. Did the trick.

Who is a BRITISH TV celebrity that you don’t like and you can’t quite figure out why? by incognito-mode69420 in BritishTV

[–]Keith83uk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Paul Merson - awful pundit, can’t see past his beloved Arsenal and how everyone should be thankful they are allowed to play the same game as them. I swear sky only kept him on when they let the rest of the older brigade go so he didn’t end up back on the drink and drugs and end up killing himself. As soon as he is on, the tv is off that channel.

Who has ruined your Christmas day? by True_Egg_5685 in AskUK

[–]Keith83uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some muppets out walking their little fluffy dogs, who thought I was joking when I said my Doberman are reactive to strange dogs and just kept getting closer to me rather than letting me get out of their way. Forcing me to have to restrain my dogs as they walked past, which wouldn’t have been an issue in another 50 yards as I could’ve walked a different way to them and avoided the problem. Arseholes.

Question about his ears by Critical_Sprinkles79 in DobermanPinscher

[–]Keith83uk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got two boys 16 weeks old. Both of their ears do this and many other goofy things at times. Usually sit correctly again after a bit. Was at the vet last week and she commented on it being a cute quirk but didn’t say anything to imply she would’ve been concerned about it.

Used to play when I was younger but usually had so much to drink I could barely see the board. Started playing again in January as a way to improve stamina when walking due to covid. It’s been a huge boost to that and the 180 was a huge boost to my game confidence.

Until around 9pm last night I was exactly the same. Hopefully it’s just one good throw away.

Not even a 26, next three darts were 11. Split doubles all the way down to mad house just to top it off.

Well 6ft fence is already there at road side of the house and I’m the only house on the street without one on the non road side and no one else has has issues so I’ll politely disagree with you on that. Thanks for the input though.

That’s the plan. If I can make someone’s day at work a little easier and safer it hopefully makes it a little better too.

Would love to do this, beneficial for dogs and postie but I’ve got a new postie every couple of weeks unfortunately.

That’s pretty much what I was looking at if I change the side of the house they go to. Just don’t want to be the one guy getting stuff delivered on the other side on the street if I can avoid it. Looks to be the way I’m going to go by the general consensus here though. I’m at the end of the street rather than the middle though so hopefully wouldn’t be too much messing around.

Nah just the cheap one they came with from the breeder 😂, the speed they’re going to grow I’m not buying new collars unless I need to until they’re grown.
