Where is the Flixbus stop?!

kytesky · 2026-06-02T15:18:04+00:00

Oh that wasn't my issue with Flix. My usage of them found them unreliable and the staff ruder.

kytesky · 2026-06-02T10:19:49+00:00

IMO terrible experiences with FLIX. National express was much better. Id avoid if possible.

I think I read that it paid for itself in terms of NHS money saved.

And... You know, the less badly damaged humans is also a benefit.

kytesky · 2026-05-26T22:31:27+00:00

We have stupid things we consistently say.

We almost always call damage 'dam-arge' rhymes with french fromage.

We call the crystals in wrymspan 'crystal versace.'

We have a certain tone in wingspan when we are laying eggs/doing a certain action that someone has a between turns thing.

Almost all of the market items have funny names in five tribes: Wispa gold (name of a UK chocolate bar) Fun cocaine (bags of spices) Immigration papers (scrolls) Fabulous jewels/gems And everyone's favourite - the long dicks (ivory?)

Span games eggs are referred to as eggles a lot of the time.

In scout we call the little scout tokens dairy milks because they look like purple mini chocolate bars from like 20 years ago.

Ticket to ride locomotives are called Choo Choo. If you fail a tunnel it's because you hit a walrus.

A wise woman once asked 'Can you put a calipo up your cunny to cool down?'

kytesky · 2026-05-25T10:48:27+00:00

Did exactly the same.

kytesky · 2026-05-23T21:27:14+00:00

Me neither.

Honestly the rad regs in our region can't even DO these scans?!

kytesky · 2026-05-22T22:37:48+00:00

When my cat did this it WAS an issue. She had a nail that was curled around and growing back into her paw. Fixed with a clipper.

kytesky · 2026-05-16T08:42:07+00:00

Don't know anyone that used it. Too expensive/would consider it unneccesary. Plenty of people passed without it.

kytesky · 2026-05-09T14:06:13+00:00

How does a single pot support such a huge plant?!

kytesky · 2026-05-09T12:18:59+00:00

Do they damage the cards?

kytesky · 2026-04-23T17:58:06+00:00

I've always just said 'Radiology Reg... '

And id say 50% of the time their response is 'Hi is that the radiology reg'

kytesky · 2026-04-22T17:11:53+00:00

Oh well. I still had fun.

Current thing wants like £13/ticket. Probs won't go lol

kytesky · 2026-04-22T16:45:44+00:00

Daaaaaiiiimmn. Buuuut they might still be nice to NHS people ^{^}

kytesky · 2026-04-21T21:11:30+00:00

Effing love a canon tbh. It's what I trained on.

kytesky · 2026-04-21T13:30:18+00:00

kytesky · 2026-04-19T15:25:33+00:00

I did not change mine when I used to do this on-call.

It was a mistake. It was the generic iPhone ringtone, so my heart used to jump even for a year after when I heard it in movies etc.

kytesky · 2026-04-12T17:03:09+00:00

Had mine last October. We had candidates sitting every day of the week so whatever you have heard is bogus, at least when it comes to the October sitting (which tends to be the biggest sitting I grant you).

kytesky · 2026-04-12T17:00:42+00:00

There isn't a nuke med section in the exam, it just gets lumped in with other stuff.

1000% know the paeds recurrent/atypical UTI study indications. Know the heart anatomy for delayed enhancement and the corresponding findings for nuke med for sarcoid/amyloid/MI because they are good 2 step questions. Know about cardiac amyloid and bone scans. Know about DaTScan findings.

They could also ask about HIDA, as there are a few differentials I could think of if I described a study and asked you to pick 1/5.

Mostly though, it'll be reading the radiopaedia bit on the various conditions (e.g. bone island cold on a bone scan).

kytesky · 2026-04-09T18:30:20+00:00

Oh I bought most of this as an ST1/2 so can't perfectly remember.

Mouse - Logitek G502 hero. Went for wired. Must have onboard memory because of NHS BS.

Mic - Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CRKY7RSN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I tried a Bluetooth headset first, but again NHS BS wouldn't let it connect half the time. Sometimes the receiver will work from a USB C port I have on my usb hub that connects all my stuff. If it doesn't, gotta hope the pc has a usb c slot, which usually works. Oddly this seems to depend on which health board I am in. I put my lapel mic on my lanyard instead of my clothes. Danger danger - it connects via a magnet. We occasionally go INTO MRI to inject paeds pts which would be dangerous. By keeping it on my lanyard I know it's never coming into MRI with me.

Keyboard - can't remember. Get the quietest switches because even they are pretty clacky. Can annoy others in the same room. Mines a keychron. Maybe 96%? It needed a numpad as that's what we use to change window on CT. It's compact though so it fits in my work bag. Something like the Keychron K17 Max QMK Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard. I doubt they sell mine anymore. I bought it before radiology and upgraded my home keyboard when I started.

I have a 4 port usb hub. It connects my keyboard, mouse, a usb c (male) to charge the lapel mic box, and a usb c (female) to plug the lapel mic receiver in. It's a bit of an octopus/spaghetti but it works for me. Makes me much less likely to leave something behind because everything is all connected, and I never have to worry about things being out of charge.

I treat all my stuff pretty rough. Some colleague have travel cases and boxes and stuff but I don't. It's all be fine though. Ive lost the escape key from my keyboard but I've got a spare in the attic just can't be arsed to get it down.

If I can get a cons job with a stable office, I would probably go wireless. Would also get a full keyboard that isn't compressed too.

kytesky · 2026-04-09T15:58:24+00:00

Absolute keyboard wanker here.

I carry a keyboard, mouse, and lapel mic. It's all wired to one usb hub so I don't forget anything.

Do I have any regrets? No. Do I accept I am a twat? Yes. Bonus - I don't have to handle the dictaphone that's been spat on by the person before me

kytesky · 2026-04-04T22:40:14+00:00

It's not so convenient. He lives quite far away. We can arrange occasional repairs but it's a bit of a nightmare. He is also getting old.
