Our area was like a f*****g war zone last night. Couldn’t get one of our cats back in. I can usually shake a bag of his treats at the window and he comes running. I had to go out looking for him though, finally found him cowering under a car. Poor thing was absolutely petrified, it took me ages to coax him out and get him back in the house.

We heard a bang like a glass smashing on Saturday night had look about the house and outside never seen a thing. I put it down to the cat knocking blinds against the wall or upstairs maybe dropping a glass. I came back from the shops yesterday and found a crack on the bedroom window and a tiny hole. I reckon some ^^^^ has been letting off fire works in the wind and one has hit the window its just cracked and made a hole in the outside glass panel. It looked like a bullet hole yesterday. I'd imagine if it was a sling shot or a bb gun it would of shattered the whole window. I've been out looking for pellets or even the wood from a firework couldn't find anything. Landlord is getting it fixed today and Polis are out tonight 🙄 I was playing the new call of duty on Friday night with my mate lives on the other side of town it was like the gaza strip backing noise from my bit and his 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the corner shops but even the big supermarkets have setup separate stalls in-store to give these explosives to utter bams. Anything other than sparklers should only be available to licenced displays operated by trained technicians and if that means folk can't have some shite fireworks at their wedding/NYE parties etc then too bad.

Der Kaiser Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Instagram. I dont use it at all but I constantly get exposed to images from celebrities in my variety of news feeds much more often these last few months. It's either a photo brazenly showing off an expensive purchase (holiday destination , house purchase etc), they're clearly hawking some product they've put their name to, or it's to offer us advice and life lessons when they are in no position to lecture the working man......and now I see some supermodel is suffering from depression and the best way to help is take photos of herself greeting and share it?

I've read many stories on Twitter of Instagram "influencers" getting in touch with companies trying to get freebies. And on some occasions with thinly veiled threats that they can help their company but they can also damage it as they have large amounts of followers (sheep). Not just free meals or haircuts but things like a new BMW or Caribbean holidays. Arseholes the lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Kaiser Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Weak willed drivers. I'm in a queue to go straight ahead. A long queue. In the lane to my right are only two cars but they're turning right. There's no filter so traffic will be coming the other way when the lights go green. Here's someone coming down that lane. He's driven right up behind the two cars that are indicating right. Here's a van doing the same thing. He can see they're indicating right as well. Lights go green. He's now indicating left because the lane in front is turning right. The van is also now indicating left. They don't want to wait until the two cars in front get a chance to turn. I imagine I'm saying out loud what everyone else is thinking now "Don't let this ***** in....do not let this ***** in" And always....someone bottles the drive close together snake thingy we could do with our cars and form an impenetrable line and let these ***** in.

Genuinely feel like throwing myself down the stairs in the hope of knocking myself out to get a few hours kip. I had a dental abscess for about a year, over the first lockdown. It would flare up for a bit, and eventually settle down, but it was always there. I ended up just getting the tooth pulled because it was never getting better. Much happier for it though, so might be worth just taking the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely feel like throwing myself down the stairs in the hope of knocking myself out to get a few hours kip. Same here, you have my sincere sympathy. February attempt to remove my offending tooth ended in disaster, the tooth shattered leaving one part of the root still firmly lodged in my jaw. I've been waiting for a dental hospital appointment since Feb. Hospital set up an on-line consultation, waited an hour and ten with a no show from them. They sent me a letter stating I'm no longer on their waiting list because I failed to keep an appointment. I sent them a letter back informing them that no appointment was set up because the on-line consultation process was not fit for purpose. They offered another, I said no, just get a professional to give me a call, I'm still waiting. This abscess flared up when I was in Tenerife last month, luckily the abscess exposed itself on top of the dead root location, it was the size of a pea, I could move it from side to side with my tongue. A needle, vodka, listerine and home made salt water mouth wash kept the fecker at bay. I'm on antibiotics as I type and since last Thursday, I've burst it again 3 times, not Ideal. I've got another couple of days on the antibiotics then I'll be back at the dentist. This b*s*a*d thing needs extracted. Don't suffer with this abscess keep pestering the dental practice or hospital, dental abscesses are considered emergency's...good luck!

Ribble Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 For those that have been getting abscesses, ask your dentist for an x-ray once it's been treated, i'd had asuccession that I thought were all down to a bad tooth and my old dentist agreed/said the same. Moved to a new much better dentist who noticed a small cyst about a cm past the end of the root and instantly sent the xray off to a consultant at st johns. turned out to be nothing bad but much better to have had it checked.

Captain Sausage Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Also for those with tooth pain, you can go private. My root canal tooth cracked last week and I managed to get it repaired today. £450 lighter for the pleasure, but they wanted me to wait until March with the NHS!
