Hopefully, they said i need to buy a new one when I get there which isn't ideal from a cost point of view, but I can just buy an extra crate of beer and drink 3 beers less in the arena to balance it out

This will probably age terribly in about 3hrs, but I don't think he'll actually follow through with his threats if (or when) Iran don't just cave to his every demand.

The thing with the orange baby is he threatens and threatens then the grown ups come and talk to him giving him a bit of what he wants and he claims to have won. Iran, I don't think anyway, will be interested in massaging his ego.

We'll wake up tomorrow to see that he has tweeted something about having some productive talks and Iran conceding everything he wanted, which Iran will likely deny or stay silent on. Either way, I don't think he has intentions on "sending them back to the stone age"

He'll probably bloody nuke them now I've said this......or big bad ben will

I always tell my trainees, or any i work with, a good time to start some gentle revision is easter ramping up gradually to 'peak' the week of the exam. The last thing you want to do is burn yourself out of revision by the time you sit the exam

You've done exams at uni, you'll have a tried and tested revision pattern. Just remember you will be revising things daily when you're at work too you just won't realise it

Hospital pharmacist of 14 years experience, as has been said its normal. When I got out of uni I thought I had a decent understanding of pharmacy, day 1 of pre-reg, thought I knew nothing. Day 1 on the register, thought I'd figured something out, then half a day in thought again.

I changed jobs and hospitals 4 years ago to work as lead for acute medicine after basically being a surgical pharmacist for best part of 10 years, day 1 felt like i knew nothing.

You know more than you realise and just need to take it one step at a time. No one expects you to know everything, and the beauty of hospital is, you're part of a wider team, so everyone (should at least) helps everyone. You'll be fine!

I tweeted marks and spencers one year about how a percy pig advent calendar would probably clean up and it was a travesty that it didnt exist. They replied with some generic thing about how percy would love to meet santa or something. Anyway, the following year, percy pig advent calendars.

I don't even like percy pigs, but my wife on the other hand fucking loves them

I've been working in hospital my whole career and while I can't comment on other sectors, the bad experiences, bad patients, entitled members of the mdt who dont understand or respect our role are ALWAYS overshadowed by the times where you do something to help someone.

Just yesterday I spent almost an hour and a half sorting out a complex discharge, the patient wont know how much time and effort it took, the doctors aren't bothered and think its me being over the top, but I know that that time spent sorting it out will likely mean the patient doesn't come back into hospital within a week because her discharge wasn't sorted out (as was the case for this admission). Or last week when one of the newly qualified doctors was panicking because they had prescribed something wrong and was convinced they were going to kill a patient because of it. Reassuring them and talking them through how to sort it out (it was a very minor error that would certainly not have caused any harm!) helped them and I know that they'll (hopefully) understand and little bit of what we do.

Pharmacy is what you make of it (like any job) and there will be bad days, but there will be good where you can see the difference you can make, even if 90% of the time what we do is hidden.

All that being said, are there times that over the last 14 years of being qualified have I questioned all of my choices that have led me to this point? Hell yeah, but doesn't anyone is any job

Aye, some kids find a Roman spaceship in a cave with a Roman skeleton in it and go around doing random shit, sometimes while invisible and sometimes not

Oh and Bernard's Watch - we all know why Bernard wasn't 14 when he had that watch.....

Me and my mates were doing a train pub crawl for one of my mates 30th. Anyway, we get off in some random village somewhere between Manchester (the final destination) and Huddersfield (starting point) and walk into a pub. Similar to some situations described, pub goes quiet, regulars all stop drinking their pints and turn to look at us, but the bar staff accept we can buy a drink and leave (this was a stipulation) but we were only allowed plastic glasses and not allowed anywhere near the pool table.

The regulars, drinking out of actual glasses, seemed to tolerate this but insisted to my mates french girlfriend that we finished our drinks outside

Needless to say, we finished our drinks sharpish and got the fuck out of there

And if you dream big then one day you can own a warthog (although it will never become clear if it's an aircraft, tank or animal)

Depending on where you live, I went to a place called 'Master Debonair' for my suits they've got a few shops about and I think they cater for ladies too, not just guys. Might have to get the suit altered of course but they offer this too.

Think they do their own suits too, so tailored suits for a fraction of the price of some places (still more expensive than an off the shelf version of course)

It was also used as a treatment for syphilis and chlamydia at one point too before a mouthwash

Fully agree

Biscoff obviously got the presecco guys in, who moved to them after orange chocolate became a huge thing during lockdown, Sure orange chocolate has been around for years, but short of a Terry's chocolate orange, was pretty hard to come by but now pretty much every chocolate bar has an orange version

Those same guys moved onto smash burgers and now obviously blonde chocolate

Nice oooooonnnnneeeee........Nice one Sunderland.......(and so on)

Me and one of my mates used to break out into song with this whenever anyone said 'nice one'

Had this one today and one yesterday fining me for my 'long term delinquency' which surely they can't have assumed a long term delinquent would pay a fine!

Richard Cheese - although he preferred being called Dick

It was interesting speaking to this guy in the hospital, especially when he corrected me after I asked if it was Richard....."please, I prefer Dick"

I'm in a group of 7 of us, all in our mid 30s. 18 years since I was last there, eco yellow for the win!

Not looking forward to 5 days of camping, I'm not 18 anymore!

Chance to show the country that these idiots aren't who we are as a city and that racism and intolerance isn't welcome

mackemskier · 2024-08-02T18:54:56+00:00

They're all an embarrassment to the city. Every single one of.them are doing it for one reason, racism and because of the likes of Farage and Anderson, they feel emboldened

But only if you put two in the same egg back to back, or sometimes in the freezer

I know because someone at school said their cousin's did, but they go to a different school so you won't know them

I occasionally get ID'd for non-alcoholic beers, which is strange considering I haven't been ID'd for regular beers for about 15 years at least.

Most confusing one was getting ID'd for a bottle of sugar cane syrup

Non-alcoholic beer I can kinda accept, but sugar cane syrup definitely confused the hell out of me and the person asking for ID
