Nibbles sounds more like the crisps and twiglets and whatever in bowls you'd have before Christmas dinner. Cheese plate or ham plate would come after dinner. e: 118 is the first three digits of all directory enquiries numbers in the UK. Guavanaut fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Oct 13, 2019 |

Port is nice and I usually end up with a bottle of it for christmas every other year or so, and given the speed I drink that usually lasts me more than long enough. I actually have a decanter full of it cos the cork dissolved in my last bottle

Those with long or obsessive memories may recall me sounding off about the NHS therapist who called me a liar to my face and then tried to gaslight me about it. I promised to keep you updated. Mea culpa. In the last episode, our hero had been given an "urgent referral" to a different MH team and been told I should hear from them within a day or two. A few weeks ago I got a letter telling me I would need to carry out an assessment via telephone and I would receive a call at 10.15am the day before I received the letter. I also got a letter the same day telling me that as I had failed to attend the assessment, I needed to telephone them immediately or I would be discharged. Now, see, one of the issues I have (and it must be on my records) is that my anxiety makes me struggle desperately to use the telephone. So instead of calling them I emailed them to point this out. There was no email on the letter, of course, only the phone number, so I used the contact email shown on their webpage. It bounced. Email box no longer operative. I resorted to emailing the gaslighting therapist and asked what the correct email was. She gave me it. I used it. No response until this week, when I got another letter saying that as they hadn't heard from me I had been discharged. Emailed the therapist again. Her response: "Just telephone them." I wonder what the hell they do when someone deaf presents with a mental health issue. Presumably they leave them to kill themself in the gutter. I wish I could say that I was surprised, I wish I could say that it's the Tories' fault for taking all the NHS's money away, but I've been in the MH system for more than 45 of my 50 years and sadly I know well enough that this is entirely standard. I don't have the spoons to fight them any more, so I'm pressing on solo yet again. The situation has become like Brexit -- you know it's massively, unfairly wrong, but you're so tired of fighting your corner that you just throw up your hands and say fine, you win, have it your way. Sorry there's no happy ending to report.

To be honest now I think about it Cameron would probably lose in 2015 for being the dumbfuck who lost the union.

I promised to keep you updated. Mea culpa. poo poo sucks friend. Speaking of hard-of-hearing people and telephones, textphone might be a functional option, but it's non-trivial to implement. From the perspective of my own experience, what my wife does is turn the volume up super loud and/or use some sort of hearing loop addition, as do many hard of hearing people but for people with complete hearing loss that obviously doesn't work. ENtirely too much of society works via telephone only, especially healthcare services. There's not a terribly useful solution for people for whom that is unworkable unfortunately.

Maybe here in the UK but in Argentina it's pretty much the opposite of posh, as I said it's very rooted in the working class culture. That's like the cheapest cheese and salamín you can get and even in times of bad poverty we could afford to have it like once or twice a week in my family no problem, and you can stretch the salamín and cheese quite a bit if you only eat a bit every day

Is it really deleting your twitter account if you just did it while you were asleep/afk? Do we all delete our twitter accounts every night in that instance? Are our previous tweets really ours, or do we just have a malformed echo of them in the post history of our new selves, reborn anew with each interruption of the constant stream of consciousness that is our posting session?
