I had one foot thoroughly infested but I managed to get the GP surgery to have a blast with a mega amount of freezing agent, sorted them out nicely, they're a lot better than the lovely DIY stuff that costs a fortune.

Dunno if you've tried or if they will do the same for you.

The worst pain I've ever had is my cluster headaches, but the second worst pain I've ever had is getting some warts frozen off when I was a kid, I'd rather have the manky feet tbh

Huh.

I barely felt it when I went, and also it's like, the kind of pain that doesn't bother me anyway, sort of a superficial sting at the surface, not the sort of "oh god I'm hosed" kind of internal pain.

I don't know if the technique has changed but I don't think i would describe it as painful. If you can do sounding recreationally which almost made me black out I would be surprised if it's that bad :v:

Can't get no luck.

I had a veruca once. Cut it out with a razor blade. I was only about 15. Hurt like absolute gently caress, can't recommend.

Worked though.

Desperate throw of the dice to try to prevent Beckett winning and taking a load of money away from Labour?

Speaking as a Unite member, this has made me more determined to vote Beckett.

I developed a bunch of warts on my fingers and thumbs for a while and it was very grim and freezing didn't do much and trimming/cutting them out was unsuccessful and bloody. We happened to move house and between the new sea air, new tapwater, and a weird sensation whenever I touched metal in the shower that had every wart site get a very sharp chemical nervous feeling, they all disappeared within months.

That's the thing I'm into pain half the time, and I've got plenty of experience to compare it to, but this was truly "I will confess to shooting JFK if that makes this stop" tier. idk maybe they just hosed up because I've heard many people say it either doesn't hurt or it's a mild sting as you describe. (It did work though, all the warts vanished in short order)

I remember having verrucas as a kid, on my finger and on my feet. Mom kept slicing up garlic and putting them under a bandaid on the verrucas and eventually they went away. I dunno if that really worked or if it just went away on it's own.

That definitely sounds like a fuckup then because I had an entire toe covered in them and they froze the poo poo out of it and it didn't hurt any more than like, a rock in your shoe or something.

I dunno, I obviously can't tell you what to do but if they're bothering you it might be worth trying again, really not sure what they could have done to make it hurt that much but I can't imagine it's a routine thing.

My dad used to have a skin tag and it grossed me the hell out.

So when I developed one as a teenager I grabbed my nail clippers and after a few goes got it off.

I too, do not recommend DIY surgery on yourself.

Speaking as someone who got so loving sick of my mutant ingrowing toenails that I removed both big ones with a Swiss Army knife, needlenose pliers and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol.. totally loving seconded.

It's very much a person by person thing. Some people can tolerate multiple absolutely gigantic lesions being burnt off with nary a blink while others will recoil like they've been stabbed with a hot poker with the first tiny whiff of nitrogen.

...

During the referendum campaign, Tim Martin said the people who warned this would happen were “doomsters”. But to be fair to him, who could possibly have known in advance that getting rid of 188,000 people from abroad who did jobs here, would leave us with a workforce that was 188,000 short?

How could they know that if the people who serve the coffees and pick the strawberries all leave, there would be no one to serve the coffees and pick the strawberries? Once again, it’s all very easy with hindsight.

Two-thirds of this year’s daffodil crop has gone rotten because there weren’t enough pickers, with one daffodil trader saying: “We can’t harvest them, we don’t have enough pickers, we’re losing hundreds of thousands of pounds.”

...


Everyone who voted brexit should do a one month stint at national minimum wage in the hospitality venues and on the farms because this is what they voted for because they knew to the nth tiny degree what they were voting for.

Maybe if they put some of the hundreds of thousands of pounds they're losing into extra wages for pickers, more people would be willing to do it.

I mean most of them refuse to accept basic reality. You copuld stab them in the chest saying that the reason you are doing so is because of them not being pure and Aryan enough and most would go "I bet this is because of foreigners"

Christ there are so many people at my own work I want to yell at about this.
