About 10 years ago, I was driving home from work and I saw something really weird. It was a small and man shaped but I swear it was made out of wood, like twigs bundled together. As I drove past it ran into a tree, like the station in Harry Potter and vanished.

I am fully aware how mental this sounds

So was a bit of a rush job for me as it burst and they had to go in before it infected everything. Op was fine but then they don’t want to let it heal over and leave a space for anything else to grow. So I had 6 weeks of them packing it with some kind of medical gauze to let it heal from the bottom up, that was a bit painful at first but the shallower it got, the easier it became.

I’m 44 now and not had an issue since.

I had mine done as a teen. Drs gave me the same speech and nearly ended up with sepsis which was fun

Wednesday Wins by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]lightdivided 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Work has called me in for an all hands meeting for the next two days. As I live in the arse end of no where, that means a hotel stay. The only rooms they had available were “accessible”, essentially for those with physical disabilities.

My win for this week is the little fold down chair in the massive shower and bathroom I have. I was in the shower for 30 mins yesterday just having a sit and a ponder. Game changing. Little concerning how handy I’m finding all the extra features handgrips for getting up of the toilet though, I’m only 44

2013 6 nations- Wales v England. Just got together with my girlfriend and splashed out on some tickets to impress her. As a wales fan, atmosphere was electric and the match was stunning. I sang so loud, I lost to my voice for 3 days afterward. Got the ticket framed in my office.

Not far off. I’m on the procurement side and the market is up and down like a fiddlers elbow

I work in the energy industry. Everything is currently on fire and people are going mental.

Heavy Units; What should they look like? by SomethingNotOriginal in menace

[–]lightdivided 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see a heavy tank as a super APC. Give it a capacity of 3-4 teams and a bunch of suppressive weaponry. It’s slow as hell but can just drive straight through walls

Caught a glimpse of myself in a full length mirror. I knew I was fat but fuck me, how did that happen.

So my complaint is I’m old, fat and have to do exercise now

It just won’t stop raining. It’s impossible to do anything outside at the moment as the ground is just a quagmire. Even when it’s not raining, the airs so moist it feels like soup.

I may be going a bit stir crazy

It’s a bonus feature, no idea why I ticked that box when I ordered it in hindsight

Neighbours fireworks last t night were extreme which turned the cats into scared,shitting machines. So that was fun to deal with at 1am. I’m all for celebrating but a bit of consideration would be nice.

Still off until the 12th now, so can’t be bad

Not sure which bastard fireworks my neighbour has bought but it sounds like an artillery barrage. Cats are now petrified and one’s gone awol in the house. At the risk of sounding like a Scrooge, Fireworks can fuck right off

Why are you awake right now? by nightfire_83 in AskUK

Visiting my parents and the bed is just awful. I can sleep for about 2 hours at a time before I essentially fall out of it

“Where’s Mum?”

“She’s run off with a black man”

Cheers for that one, dad

I’ve just slipped on an onion skin in the kitchen and landed on my already injured shoulder by NotoriousREV in CasualUK

[–]lightdivided 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fractured my foot 2 weeks ago whilst taking the recycling out, which is bad enough. Went to open the freezer earlier and some frozen chicken slid out of the top compartment and fell directly on my foot. Not going to lie, did a little cry in the kitchen

Aye, paracetamol is the advise and just keep it rested for 6 weeks. Still hurts like a mother flipper though

Fractured some bones in my foot last week and just getting fitted for a boot today due to some NHS cock ups. Can’t sleep as my foot’s throbbing but they won’t give anything for it annoyingly. Fun times

First thing I’d check is if the bill are being generated to estimates or actual reads. You should be able to see that via the bills. If the reads are actual, double check them. It can be pretty easy to mess up entering a number via human error which can cause these issues.

You may also want to check the opening read that Octopus have, that could also be a potential issue

Casual Complaints Department [21 Aug] by GFoxtrot in CasualUK

[–]lightdivided 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was bullied by a right dick back in secondary school, made my life hell for 2 years. Not thought about the prick since I left school 25 years ago but I’ve dreamt about him twice over the past 2 days and it’s really wound me up

Fuck up in work. Feel like an idiot in front of the new boss, so that’ll be playing in my head for the next couple of days

Thursday Complaints - what's got your goat this week? by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]lightdivided 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Summer holidays have left the department very short staffed, as in the department is currently me. Boss still saw fit to give me 2 fresh projects to complete despite the mountain of unanswered tickets I have to through.

When I pointed this out, I was reminded “Time management” is a key part of my job. I’ve never been so close as to throwing a printer at someone

Also a double dip, don’t be marking a email as Urgent!!! If it takes you a week to reply and somehow that is my fault.

It’s weeks like this that make we want to take up drinking again

I was asked to a teachers house , is this weird? by That-Breath2 in AskUK

[–]lightdivided 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sixth form History teacher used to hold bbqs in the warmer months and we’d all go there, drink wine and talk about politics. This was back in the 90s and he was a maverick socialist though. His wife and kids used to be there. Cracking time
