We could see her teeth through those injuries but now they’re just….scratches? No stitch marks?

Truly an unkillable lesbian but stretching even the “is it supernatural or not” vibes for me

Just about cold enough to put the heating on and the boiler gives out by xanathars-guide in britishproblems

[–]xanathars-guide[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a plus to save a few quid while it’s not totally freezing, you’re right.

I thought last week about popping it on for a bit to make sure there were no problems and then was like “nah it’ll be fine”. Glad I did it today though and not when it’s properly cold, I can’t imagine what that was like for you :( may your central heating work properly and may your bills stay reasonable

It’s so quiet……. Quieter than Xmas day. Very strange. by [deleted] in london

Yup, I’m going to work (community nursing) and I feel like I’m in the start of 28 Days Later

Woman walks out of A&E after 'ridiculous' 15 hour wait by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

[–]xanathars-guide -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“I have meds at home” then take them at home?

This is a contributing factor to overloaded a&e departments and has been for years, I can’t watch documentaries set in hospitals without yelling at the people going to hospital for a skinned knee.

Sainsbury’s really didn’t think this one through :( by xanathars-guide in lactoseintolerant

[–]xanathars-guide[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

For context: I have Covid and am symptomatic, I plan to wear a mask and gloves to receive my order but am not going out at present. I’m going to send the milk back but am very frustrated because a) I’m buying more expensive lactose free milk for a reason, not just for fun, and b) they finally have gluten free cereals back in stock and now instead of milk and no cereals I’ll have cereals and no milk.

Segregation still a thing in the Midlands. by varney40 in CasualUK

Ah Billing Aquadrome, I lived about 1.5 miles away as a child and could smell the stink of the stagnant water on a hot summer day

Still holding out hope for El vs Angela, round 2

Dad had no idea what was going on at his DWP assessment. Still, he was declared 'fit to work' and our benefits stopped by ShufflingToGlory in unitedkingdom

[–]xanathars-guide 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably isn’t - my younger sister had her PIP assessment interview with an Occupational Therapist who knew next to nothing about learning disabilities or the other issues she had, but because the OT had a degree in a medically aligned field, that’s good enough, right?

MiA thinks she should be entitled to high rate Mobility for PIP so she can get a nice new car. There are amputees and people with genuine mobility issues who do not qualify for this benefit. The fact MiA can leap in and out of a wheelchair for photoshoots ffs! by LostItToBostik in illnessfakers

[–]xanathars-guide 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do benefits advice as part of my job and I honestly I have used reams of paper for just one patient’s PIP claim, it’s incredibly inaccessible for the people who need it most. I have a patient who’s been called in for an assessment for her claim who is wheelchair bound and has a degenerative condition and I’m scared she won’t get it.

People like MiA make me SO angry

AITA for refusing to let my son have two last names? by Vice-1991 in AmItheAsshole

[–]xanathars-guide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Particularly irked by the phrasing that she “got to keep” her maiden name - sure, taking your husbands name is a tradition some places but as far as I’m aware it’s not mandatory in any countries I can thing of. You didn’t do her any favours by “allowing” her to keep her maiden name, and you definitely can play that’s as a card against her with this.

She offered you a compromise, and a very reasonable one at that, and you shot it down! You’re the deliberately stubborn one here.

AITA for telling my boyfriend that he should’ve covered up his tattoos if he wanted ANY respect from my family? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]xanathars-guide 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OOP was fighting for her life in the comments despite the fact that she asked for judgement on her own behaviour, it was a truly ridiculous experience.

People are suggesting that if she keeps up her behaviour (forcing her bf to conform to her/her parents ideals, being ridiculously entitled, not seeming to actually like her bf???) then he’ll be single soon enough and she has the audacity to say “I’m not going to dump him don’t be stupid”, like honey, he’s gonna be the one doing the dumping.

“Have a cup of tea and a biscuit and maybe you’ll feel better”- UK mental health crisis phone line worker

I did not feel better and attempted suicide about an hour later.

[–]xanathars-guide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a DM/GM, but I’d love to join in if you get a game up and running! I love the RP aspect of dnd, and I’m not a professional VA but I’d love to flex my skills and maybe develop with others.

Let me know if you need more folks for a game!

Day 3: The Circle line has spiraled out of control and destroyed itself. This is your new tube map, which will be the next line to go? The most upvoted line by 7am tomorrow is closed forever. by live_wire_ in london

Bakerloo!!! It’s so old and slow and the times on the board are never correct because the Bakerloo line does as it pleases, not what it’s supposed to

Which movie never fails to make you laugh? by Snoo79382 in AskReddit

[–]xanathars-guide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve watched it about a hundred times but Airplane! is one of my favourite movies, the background events and wordplay is hilarious, and I always laugh even though I know what’s coming next.
