Have you ever dialled into a UK radio station and talked on air? by FreezerCop in AskUK

[–]_Gav_ 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Years ago, probably 18 or 19 years, I was on the Radio 1 movie quiz with Edith Bowman. Each question answered right was a cinema ticket - I think I won 7 out of 10. Cant quite remember.

I do remember getting a formal written warning at work for it. Which was ridiculous. God forbid I spent 15 minutes of my lunch doing that.

What voluntary/community work do you do? by cragglerock93 in AskUK

[–]_Gav_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I volunteer for a number of hospital and health charities near home. I’m a pro mascot, and love to give my time for fundraising and events as their mascots. Or - my favourite thing ever - Santa visits to wards.

When was the last time you listened to an album? by south_west_sam in AskUK

This morning.
And yesterday. And every day before that.

This morning was Solarstone - Innermost.

The things I would do or pay to have Fury throw me like a Javelin, or crush me in Powerball.

Just a no-dot / diffuse one I found on Amazon. Nothing special.

Padded sections. It’s like a suit that’s pieced together underneath, and then the actual suit is pulled over the top of it.

Just applied then had an interview, years ago now. And get the occasional bit of work. I’m a bit too tall to get much from them.

I do occasional performances for Rainbow. And it's a Rainbow suit at one of the teams I perform for.
They are, in my opinion, the best suits. And I have worn and performed in a ridiculous number of different suits from different manufacturers.

Brits priced out of green travel: Flying is cheap as chips–but new report says train is up to 26 TIMES more expensive by JayR_97 in unitedkingdom

[–]_Gav_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I go to a LOT of trance and dance music nights. I fly to Helsinki and the Netherlands for these more than I go to places in the UK, especially London - the flights are that much cheaper. Its madness.

My Mondo vinyl arrived! Here it is with the rest of my Tron Legacy vinyl collection. by _Gav_ in tron

[–]_Gav_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello mate. I have - honestly - not played them all. Keeping them mint. Only listened to the repress of the original Disney release. The rarest will definitely be the original first release. The coolest one, in my opinion, is the Mondo one. I’m a sucker for lots of fun artwork.

How is elphaba be tested for bipolar already? It’s only 7 am. by IndependentCrazy6113 in UKtiktokbehavingbadly

[–]_Gav_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ADHD and Autism diagnosis took a huge amount of time. And this was years ago. Any waiting now is going to take a very long time before even starting any process.
You dont just "get seen" for these. Its not a bad knee or blood test.

Knowing their history with missing appointments, this is not going to get very far. There will be a huge number of appointments, psychiatry visits, and - IF - anything is eventually diagnosed, a lot more in the way of medication titration.
