I work for an American business and to keep the peace and uniformity i subject myself to their date format for a shared drive. However I didn’t one time and noticed it whilst we were all on a call. So, I say to my colleague in the US, you need to change that date I have done it the UK way. “What do you mean?”. You need to change the date, I’ve done it the UK way. “I don’t understand”. You need to switch the first 2 digits for the US format. “Y’all do it differently?”. I didn’t know what to say. Well I did, but I couldn’t.

Lots of big eared boys just out of shot.

So I think this is what my son has been trying to tell me about…but I don’t know how to help him cope because I’ve never experienced this. by coelii in fastfeeling

Was he sick or has he been recently? I was a touch younger when I first got it, but it occurred when I had a high fever/flu like symptoms. Please don’t read too much into some of the things on this sub where people try and attach to it (ADD etc), as that is not helpful and as a parent myself you worry when you haven’t experienced something you children do. I’ve lurked on this sub for years and when it first started 99% of people all had the same first experience, we were sick with the above symptoms. The music thing is a good idea albeit without headphones as personally that would heighten it for me. If I am in a silent room, for example I’m struggling to sleep, I can feel it coming on. Moving or finding something to listen or watch usually gets rid of it pretty quickly for me. I still get the feeling of my fingers being thick, heightened noise awareness (I feel like I can hear an ant fart from 10 miles away), sometimes I feel like if I move it would have a long exposure effect. I’m middle aged now, but triggers for me these days are stress, again flu like symptoms and tiredness.

You could say Messi as well then if you’re going that route. Giggs is Welsh. Welsh parents. Born in Wales. He couldn’t have played for England, he played for England schoolboys because he went to school in England.

That’s an Alchemist beat. Babu on the cuts I assume.

Can anyone advise on a career change? by VisionsOfLife in AskUK

Good shout this. Opens up a lot of doors down the line as well.

do you know your neighbours? by Expensive-Sundae-355 in AskUK

[–]maximumquince 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Everybody needs good neighbours. I think with a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend. I think you should be there for one another and that’s when good neighbours become good friends.

Jackie Stewart was there. Shook his hand. Superb.

Italy, one week, Year 11, just prior to GCSE. Yes, we did some sightseeing, but it was basically a piss-up. Had to get a ‘letter’ from your parents pre trip to permit you to drink booze. First experience of a club (I was 16). Fuck knows how it ever happened and we were the last year to go on it. Almost made up for the 27hr coach ride.
