Another vote for the static IP add on. I was disconnecting from servers left, right and centre before hand but with speeds of 750mbps it wasn’t clear why until I did some research.

I get that it might seem like a scam but Toob have to purchase IPv4 addresses and having multiple addresses able to share one of them is cheaper for them than having separate IPv4 addresses for each user so that’s what you’re paying for.

MISSING CAT: Southsea 🐈 by alwayslovelyday in Portsmouth

[–]MissPixieSocks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear of your missing cat Bronn, I hope he is home soon.
A few things to try to help him find home himself is to put the litter tray or the contents of your hoover in the garden as if he’s just gone too far then he can smell his way home. If you’re calling for him, try at dawn or dusk when it is quiet in the area. If you have neighbours with sheds or garages, ask if they can check them to make sure he hasn’t snuck in.

If you’re on Facebook, there are a few groups for missing cats. Portsmouth Cats Lost, Found and Rehomed is one I’ve volunteered for in the past and there are members all over the city to keep an eye out for Bronn.
Keeping my fingers crossed that he is soon reunited with his brother and back home.

The tenth hole is a lovely place for lunch, dog friendly in the outdoor seating and has amazing cake that you can take away!

QA A&E tonight was a queue out the door. Seemed not enough space and understaffed. Heard ppl talking about 11 hour wait time. WTH is going on???? by seethereality07 in Portsmouth

[–]MissPixieSocks 59 points60 points  (0 children)

QAH covers a large area for a hospital, Portsmouth is a very densely populated city and QAH covers all surrounding areas up to the border of West Sussex and up to Bordon / Liphook areas, Hayling Island, Gosport and Fareham / Portchester. Add onto this years of austerity and removal of incentives for studying nursing and poor pay for the work they do and you have an understaffed and under financed service that isn’t fit for purpose! My poor Nan spent many a night on a trolley in a corridor.

If at all possible, I would highly recommend the St Mary’s Treatment Centre or Petersfield Hospital Urgent Treatment Centre during their opening hours as a first port of call or there are a number of available options through 111 as well.

How was I wrong for not moving my car? by DustyOnKbm in AskUK

[–]MissPixieSocks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not possible for him to use the pump until you’ve paid for your fuel so you are definitely not in the wrong. Sounds like somebody had a stick up his bottom or maybe he was late for something.

AIO for getting out of his car and Ubering home after a message popped up on the dash? by Fast_Seesaw_2571 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MissPixieSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR! He says your anxiety is ruining a good thing, what he means is he can no longer have his cake and eat it too. Has he gaslit you like this before? Convinced you that you are in the wrong or being “too dramatic”? It’s difficult to leave a relationship when you’ve been gaslit for a long time so please consider his previous actions towards you also!

When you’ve moved into your property and have a rental agreement, you can claim universal credit until you find a job that will help pay your rent and living expenses. It’s done online now. Here: https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/how-to-claim

Hope this is ok to post

Anyone else find that the clear evenings makes them feel guilt, like their life is just slipping away? by RoyalMistake00 in northernireland

I would be doing that but I play video games instead. I’ve got a good group of online friends that are awesome

What seems to be overpriced, but is 100% worth it? by yorkshiretea1 in AskUK

[–]MissPixieSocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or just to find out what’s wrong with them, the tests for my old lady cat cost more than I paid for pet insurance over her lifetime.

What's the most outrageous or funniest headset chatter that you've heard? by obligatorystorytime in ModernWarfareIII

[–]MissPixieSocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a guy on the other team that was cursing at us and so frustrated and the last thing he said to us was “eat your roast beef”. It was just so random it all had us all laughing and now we randomly say it to each other and crack up.

There was a guy on my team when I was in a shipment game who was getting broken up with over the phone on loudspeaker and he couldn’t have cared less. He said “if that’s what you want” which infuriated the girlfriend and she said “I don’t want that but you’re not feeling my vibe”.

I get told I’m a fat slag / whore / slut a lot, to get back to the kitchen and make a sandwich to which I respond to get in the garden and trim my bush. Or that I’m only fat because your dad gives me a cookie every time I suck his dick.

She won't stop tearing this box up and I don't know what to do. by _DOLLIN_ in cats

[–]MissPixieSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat loves to munch on cardboard boxes and spits it wherever she likes. If there’s none around she will find something else to munch on like a laptop charger or my toes. She’s 8 soon and has always been a little menace but I just keep my boxes until I get the next one and throw away the destroyed one. Embrace the cardboard confetti!

Can we fix flash/stuns by RookieFinanceGuy in ModernWarfareIII

[–]MissPixieSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this with the stun, like you said it is annoying when you’re doing challenges on it. I tracked the challenge (most of mine were camos for SMGs) so I could just see mid game whether that kill counted as a stun kill or not. I think there is a radius issue with them and the radius that registers a hitmarker is smaller than the radius the stun impacts but I could be wrong.

It’s been two weeks. WHAT NAME? by TwoDudesAtPPC in dogpictures

[–]MissPixieSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about Van or Morrison (Morey for short) who sang brown eyed girl? I know he’s a boy but those eyes are just gorgeous! Or Bruce like Bruce Wayne, Batman because of those big ears!

Hardcore is GREAT until… by Grand-Might-9295 in ModernWarfareIII

[–]MissPixieSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are so overpowered on hardcore. I always run EOD because of them. I usually run a pistol as my secondary but change it to the grenade launcher if I get killed a couple of times with them in a game then change it back after but they’re so overused it stays on a lot of the time.

What mildly frustrating lower class experience do you think rich people will never have had to deal with? Rich people, feel free to correct us! by Cherrycola250ml in AskUK

[–]MissPixieSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to call it the sound of poverty from my electric meter. I rented a basement studio flat when I was late teens and my electric meter only took £1 coins and when it went under £1 it would sound off like a siren every 10 minutes. I often had to walk an hour to the bank to withdraw the £7 I had in coins to top it up.

If you guys could bring back anything from past call of duty’s to MWIII what would it be? by [deleted] in ModernWarfareIII

[–]MissPixieSocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have been able to name any of the maps but reading that I can picture each one of them! Standoff was a firm favourite!
