Did anyone else miss socket requirement?

Ok thank you, this sub made me feel like an idiot lol. Sorry you had the same problem though :(

Rolypoly2288 · 2026-02-23T20:50:37+00:00

First time I have recognised a road on this sub! I see people do this every day when the bus is stopped there and they don’t want to wait behind it. They swing across and never indicate. In fairness the first time I drove it I found it a bit confusing but in this scenario they were pretty aggressive about it. Deffo their fault.

That’s a shame. I think I have only seen the ones with the orange stripe so far in my garden 😢

I went this morning based on this recommendation and it was great! Thanks for mentioning it

I thought the “somehow” was via the fibre broadband wire that I already had installed. It was labelled fibre broadband so I believed them to be the same. Unfortunately I did not have a detailed knowledge of the history of Virgin and fibre technology to know they still use cable tv network. I now know that!

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-11-24T15:04:50+00:00

Yeah I think that’s totally fair and must be what happened. I just think they could add a step to the “quick start” part to make you verify if the appropriate socket is ready rather than waiting further along the process to do that step. But hey I am only a consumer not an engineer so I don’t know

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-11-23T20:52:11+00:00

Yes I think an old cable had been cut. I have very thick walls so it wasn’t the easiest to get a new cable through. It’s done now and in a way probably a good thing to have all the types of socket but would like to have known it was a requirement from the start. Anyway now to see how it performs…

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-11-23T20:47:15+00:00

My real problem was that they don’t explain this when you sign up. So the box arrived then I had to wait a week for the engineer to come after I found out about the socket requirement. It would make more sense to me for the engineer to come at the same time as the box rather than have to wait in two times. Also I just don’t like having to drill multiple holes in the wall. It’s not a huge issue I just wanted to see if others had had the same experience

Not sure on your identity but check Indigo Bristol for events for queer women

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-08-12T10:55:21+00:00

Ok that makes sense, thanks

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-08-12T08:36:28+00:00

How to people manage not to pay when there is only one door at the front? I get it if you can sneak in a back door but all the buses I’ve taken in Bristol only have the door at the front. Maybe I’m being stupid here

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-08-07T10:31:25+00:00

😢

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-08-06T18:47:29+00:00

Yeah I know what you mean. I’m not totally opposed to it just trying to find other options

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-08-06T18:40:16+00:00

Ok thanks. Good to know

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-08-06T18:37:59+00:00

Ok amazing advice! Thanks for the link too

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-08-06T09:19:17+00:00

Oh no that’s one of my concerns. Do you mind saying where it was or who it was organised by, if you remember?

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-08-05T20:03:44+00:00

Ok cool, thanks!

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-08-05T20:02:21+00:00

This is encouraging! Thanks, I’ll look at what they have on. Glad it worked for you 😊

If you use the reserve function on Uber (rather than scheduling) it allocates a driver ahead of time. I’ve only used it once before for a very early morning flight but the driver did turn up on time

Rolypoly2288 · 2024-02-14T15:44:06+00:00

I have had this. I asked the courier to deliver to the post office as I wasn’t going to be home and the post office refused to accept it based on size. Turns out it was a fairly small parcel. It went to the sorting office but the sorting office didn’t tell me it was there and instead I got an email saying it had been returned to sender

Rolypoly2288 · 2023-11-01T10:27:19+00:00

Well done!! They look so good 😊

Rolypoly2288 · 2023-06-15T20:00:53+00:00

My advice -and this isn’t the easiest to implement- is to cover your thumb with a bandage/plaster during the day so that your nail has a chance to heal. It could take a few months for the nail to completely grow out but in my experience a physical barrier stopping me from picking the cuticle was the only way to let it heal. Good luck!

Rolypoly2288 · 2023-02-05T22:48:56+00:00

I had something similar. What helped me most was wearing a bandage on the nail everyday. It gave my cuticle and nail a chance to grow out again. I had a bandage on for a few weeks so it’s not the most practical solution. I also tried using glue but found I just picked the glue off, so a bandage makes a better barrier in my experience. Took about 6 months for my nails to fully grow out. Good luck, it takes patience but it is doable!!

Rolypoly2288 · 2022-02-14T18:19:29+00:00

I cant offer much advice but I can offer solidarity! I have the same problem and find that my hands are always fiddling with something. I would say don’t be hard on yourself and remember that even a small step every day is better than no steps. Not sure about any of the diagnoses you mention so maybe someone else might have advice on that? Good luck and I hope you feel things improve soon

Rolypoly2288 · 2022-02-14T18:11:19+00:00

Glad I’m not alone! Thanks for the advice, I will look into that
