United Kingdom chat thread V4: lamb rogan josh, £3 meal deals, and brexit - General

If the election wasn't enough to get rid of her (and her government) then I don't know what is

[QUOTE=Animosus;52745697]Thing is, I've been at the flat the entire day to make sure that I was here and they didn't knock or anything. Got a call from the depot again and they are going to redeliver before 5 thankfully, now gotta pray that my PC and screens haven't been damaged in transit.[/QUOTE] Aw fuck, smashed the side window and put a small dent in it the fucks. Time to claim back from them..hopefully

I know it's a bit of a trope nowadays but Hermes are so wank. They delivered a parcel for my gf, there was no answer so they just chucked it through our open bathroom window (along with the note to say it had been posted through said window). Honestly...

Sounds like excellent service to me!

i got an ear infection (presumably) recently, so i phoned up the local gp to make an appointment. now for some reason there are two practices within the same building and people are constantly confused by which one to go to however i was pretty sure about the one i normally go to (i went in before) so i phoned them up, only to get "actually you're not registered with us you should phone the other guys", and when i went and done that they said "actually you should phone them back, they handle you not us." so for the past hour i've been bouncing between two gps trying to tell me to phone the other because i'm meant to be the responsibility of the other clinic. i've decided to give up, make myself a pot of tea, take some paracetamol, and hope that this all blows over

Being given the runaround like that sounds like it sucks worse though.

My only solace was the fact that I was draining a massive company through inefficiency. Currently working for another massive company that I'm draining through being terrible at my job but it's less pressure but more walking since they don't have robots. I don't know why warehouse jobs are the only kind I can get when I'm a clumsy fool who spaces out constantly and consistantly makes bad decisions. My delicate flower feet were not made for 8 hours of walking with no way to entertain myself.

[QUOTE=metallics;52748812]Go down there and sort it in person?[/QUOTE] wouldn't want to go down and bother them tbh, and i feel too shite to get up and go

Your driver could be someone who knows what they're doing or it could be some retired grandma who hasn't had the app explained to them properly, isn't used to delivering to schedule and only took the gig cos there pension doesn't go far enough A couple of months ago we had this [T]https://i.imgur.com/ydOkAAS.jpg[/t] The driver had a sense of humour so we couldn't be mad about it

Talking of deliveries I took one for my neighbor the other day, as I was knocking on their door I noticed the message taped to it. I always assumed it says they don't want junk mail, but it actually states "we won't take parcels for our neighbours". Bastards. They're kind a weird anyway, she never says hello or smiles and he spends about 15 hours a week cleaning his car, no joke he was out there for nearly 5 hours on Tuesday

The box even had "Fragile" tape AND stickers all over it and they still decided to do that instead of leave it with a neighbour (who was in at the time).

[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;52737705]The Five Guys in Manchester is pants sorry guys[/QUOTE] Which one? The one in the Arndale, the one in the Trafford centre or the one near IKEA in Ashton? In other news my girlfriend is looking for car but every time we find a really good one it goes within a couple of hours of us seeing it. She's looking for a small hatchback with low tax, good MPG and preferably 4 doors. She's wanting a Peugeot 107 and to be honest all this fucking around with cars (she sends me like 30 a day and constantly flaps about it) is doing my head in so I'm just tempted to go down the dealership and buy one outright Or maybe she's doing this on purpose to make me do it?

Grosser details aside it was incredibly painful and left me very deaf for several weeks. Now it only hurts sometimes and I'm still slightly deaf. The healing hasn't been great, I've recently developed tinnitus that might be permanent and I'm having ear surgery next month. In short, get your infections checked out. Also if it's a middle ear infection, don't sleep on that ear or the fluid buildup can burst your eardrum while you're asleep. I learned that the hard way.

I had a wax blockage for weeks that SUCKED DICK HARD and I had to use peroxide drops to clear it in the end. Hilariously, I'm also allergic to bleach and peroxides, so while it cleared my blockage it made my ear inflamed and left me with an inflamed shell-like for about a week.

It's always better to get something checked out if you don't know what it is, my doctor told me "It could always fix itself overtime, or it could get worse. Either way come see me because I don't want to be seeing you when it's worse."
