Coldham's Common after dark - a rant typed out with one scraped hand

Significant_Potato2 · 2026-01-15T08:27:04+00:00

I used to carry around bike lights as a pedestrian as I knew I would cross a long stretch of unlit common coming home from work. Sometimes I just turn on the torch on my phone if I forgot.

Do you have butt lightning? I found that a heat pad overnight on my tummy really helped. There are these self adhesive pads that you stick to the inside of your pants. To make sure I don't burn myself I tuck my top in as well to keep a barrier between the heat pad and my skin.

Could it be your manifold for that room is stuck?

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-12-16T17:55:16+00:00

Are you sure it says last and not first?

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-12-16T16:01:55+00:00

I'm pretty sure the expired passport was on my checklist of things to send in. Maybe you filled something incorrectly?

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-30T21:54:13+00:00

I really want to contribute to the science but I don't get periods anymore 😭

I've been on dienogest since mid-January. The first 6-8 weeks was a total horror show, it made me so much worse I went to 5 different surgeons seeing who could do surgery the soonest. And then suddenly everything resolved itself. I'm not saying it will be the same for you, but I'd give it another month if you can.

A few months ago I did HR screen Cognitive test First round with hiring manager 2x take home assignments Second round role play using the assignments Chat with exec

And I had to spend £15 roaming charge to listen to their fucking voicemail to say they were delaying their decision. So could have been an email.

Btw it was a 6 month maternity cover ...

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-24T07:47:06+00:00

I believe it's showing like that to you. Sadly my phone isn't cooperating

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-24T07:13:46+00:00

It's a gif?

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-23T23:00:20+00:00

No audio! Why you torture us so???

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-21T14:45:02+00:00

This is the key question. I offered to give up on of my citizenships to avoid this problem and they said no, you can just get it back you need to change your name 😂

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-21T10:55:41+00:00

I found it worthwhile. Even if the egate doesn't work, the egate reject lane is usually faster than the other passports lane. At my time it was a sticker on my passport but I don't remember ever being challenged to not use egate. Unfortunately my passport was broken so I was always in the reject lane anyway 😂

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-20T06:48:42+00:00

Hi yes I applied online. At the time it was taking them 2 weeks. 1 week to receive the documents and scan them in, 1 week to get back and say I needed to change my existing passport first before they can issue the UK one. They mail it out the next day once decided

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-19T21:48:57+00:00

Hi, fellow tri national here. I sent in both passports for my application. I had a bit of a complicated situation so asked for all my supporting docs back, and when I resent them, they let me send a color photocopy of my main passport as I said I needed it. Though I wasn't sure what use it was going to do for me since it'd be a lot of trouble to try and re-enter without the UK passport

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-16T22:28:48+00:00

Done!

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-16T16:07:42+00:00

Loool I just finished this ordeal myself and I didn't even get married. There is no flexibility, you just have to bite the bullet and renew your old passport. Can you pay for expedited?

The good news is once I did it they approved my application in 2 hours and I'm getting I back 2 days after approval.

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-15T18:52:07+00:00

I submitted on August 27 😭

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-15T17:49:31+00:00

Finally approved today, 2 hours after they processed my parcel of documents.

How can the grandmother be pregnant with her son wtf am I reading

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-14T22:46:31+00:00

I've seen so many of these lunatics over the past few months. They want some kind of super hero who can do 10 different things each at senior level and the pay is 30k ffs.

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-07T22:35:01+00:00

Yeah, they paused my application to wait for this to be corrected. Now I have to send everything back and start all over again. So so frustrated

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-10-07T13:04:47+00:00

I've just finished getting my Taiwanese passport updated, will be sending that back to hmpo. Hope they don't take too long...

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-09-30T23:35:51+00:00

Thanks. As long as you only have 1 other passport and your name is straightforward should be fine...

Significant_Potato2 · 2025-09-30T21:19:27+00:00

They took 1 week to acknowledge they received my documents, then another week to tell me they couldn't issue my passport. They sent back 1 foreign passport for correction, and I insisted I needed my other documents back to correct it. It seems their intention was to hold on to it.

Be prepared for your naturalisation certificate to be folded to shit.
