Had a totally nude flasher jump out on me back in the 90s while walking home who started masturbating.
I said 'ha' and he legged it prob realizing I wasn't female. I had long hair back then.

Never seen, but this is concrete set in our town lore forever. gently caress knows if its true.
One of the local town drunks is known for his outrageous antics, for example stripping naked and walking upto an ice cream van, getting a cone, and then walking around with it on his genitals.
Anyway, hes in one of our small snug pubs, at the bar, and he drops his trousers, and just starts wanking while casually talking to everyone around him, including barperson.
Everyone around him goes apeshit, and hes up and thrown out of the pub. Trousers still around the ankles.
The bar has a back entrance, and he quickly runs around the back, enters in, shouts something, cums. and runs out.

Huh, I got a link on my discovery feed saying I could claim up to 30% of my bills if I've been working from home.

It seemed too good to be true, then I discovered that it's for Ireland.

https://www.revenue.ie/en/jobs-and-pensions/eworking/calculate-allowable-remote-working-costs.aspx

Is there something equivalent in the UK? The only thing I could find was the covid relief, and you could only claim that if you had to work from home not if you had the option of going into an office.

It's what's for dinner.
For the past two weeks I've had this sickly illness, possibly the worst thing I've ever experienced and that's including flus and covid.

The cough has been the main symptom, it's worse in the mornings and evenings and sometimes wakes me up at night. Each time I cough I feel sticky phlegm move at the back of my throat, I can breathe slightly easier but I feel compelled to swallow, putting the phlegm back where it was. I can't cough it out. Sometimes the cough makes me retch, almost enough to make me vomit. I've had this cough for the full two weeks.

Recently each cough has made my head feel like it's about to explode. I've been mainlining paracetamol to the maximum dose for days now.

Other symptoms have come and gone - runny nose (was brief), bunged up sinus, feeling cold (most of the time). For 4 of the nights (not in a row) I've woken up in sweats. I didn't even feel hot or cold (just sodden). And for the past two days a disgusting smell&taste (which I can't describe) has pervaded my whole mouth/throat/sinus, like I can somehow smell the virus laden phlegm sitting there, rotting. Nothing gets rid of it, it spoils everything I eat.

I've never had, or heard of, a flu like it. Others I know describe similar symptoms (especially my dad who has the same symptoms), but even people I've never met have been describing this. It seems to be going around. And it suuuuuuuuuuucks.

For the phlegm situation do anti-histamines help? I know that loratadine has ben a godsend. Also avoid milk as that helps build it up, but hot squash can help get rid of it.

Had a horrible cold with a cough exactly as you described in the second week of December, it’s only in the past couple of days I’ve not been hacking stuff up. Had a coughing fit so hard on Boxing Day it made me simultaneously poo poo and puke.. luckily I was already hiding from family in the loo lol.

It does seem to be going around, but if it’s the same bug you should be okay soon from your timeline.

I had a cough since early October and still have a bit of it now.

It became a nasal drip which basically meant the cough stuck around. I had all the same symptoms you've described, but also fluid in my upper lungs. I had two separate rounds of antibiotics, an xray (which revealed the fluid) and I've been on some nasal spray called beaconase since late November.

My advice, go to the doctor now that it's been 2 weeks to get you on the radar and explain the symptoms in detail. In not 100% if the beaconase is working or if I'm just getting better naturally (I was to take it for 6 weeks) but better you get something for it now so it doesn't last almost 3 months like it has been for me

My entire family - and I mean my entire family - has been dealing with this this week. My SIL bought it to the house on Christmas Eve, and then me, and my brothers, and my mum, and my dad, and my niece, and my partner (who is currently hosed up) have had an awful, hacking, phlegmy cough. 40 degree fevers (particularly alarming in my 3 year old niece). The last couple days I've woken up at around 4 am and had to blow my nose for two hours - the amount of snot came outta me coulda filled a pint glass. Constant feeling of needing to sneeze, but unable. A feeling of having just a brick in the sinus, awful headache. And yeah, the smell.

We've all just been knocked back on our heels by it. If it isn't the flu, and it isn't covid (it's not - I've checked, over and over) - it's the most powerful cold to ever exist. It's p.much wrecked the whole Christmas period for everyone.

So yeah, something real bad is going around

Please be excited.



I was hospitalised for a week with a chest infection in early December, which set off my undiagnosed asthma and caused a nasty bought of "not breathing well enough to get enough oxygen to live". I feel like I've got an infection again these last few days but since I actually have a preventer inhaler now I can breathe fine. I'll be hosed off if I've managed to get two in the space of a month.

shit wizard dad

yeah microplastics get that looked at, there's a line where 'froggy chest' stops being something you wait out and when you want to get on antibiotics, and the 'bad smell' is usually on the far side of the line. I've had what seems to be mild dose of this bug (cough, drippy nose, night sweats, coughing up a whole frog in texture and colour) and its still been a fortnight since I picked it up with it still sticking around and refusing to 100% clear up. I know when I'm ill as I go into 'sleep at least 14 hours a day' mode and that's been ongoing since the start of Christmas week, went to bed (sober) 1am today and got up at 6pm.

i think every irish settlement has someone like this

Chest infections are interesting, in the kind of 'never had a doctor establish eye contact and make sure they say "this was really serious, yeah?" before' kind of way.

With regards to the cold, I think I have this at the moment - started with a really sore throat / soft pallette, then an absolutely streaming nose, then a few days of violent coughing which i'm just coming out of.

Initially I was worried it was that strep throat thing which was reputed to be killing kids (I don't have stats or articles on that, it's just something I heard, leave me alone), now I'm merely worried about it being a chest infection which could kill me.

Also, the thing for everyone to note with these long coughs (and that I didn't realise could happen) is that you can temporarily damage your lungs or throat or something.

Like all the coughing can damage the capillaries I think. All I know is that I don't cough much more than once or twice a day now, there's only a little bit of normal looking phlegm, but I can taste copper/metal every time.

I mentioned that to the doctor but he didn't seem phased by it so I'm guessing it's just a side effect of coughing so much and it's going to be one of the last things to eventually heal.

Doesn't help that I've picked up some kind of bloody Noravirus type thing since Friday. The coughing wasn't so bad until it brings on waves of nausea and feelings like I'm gonna puke my guts out.

Happy loving new year.

Swish swish, like a fish
If you have a persistant phlegmy cough one thing I found that really works is instead of coughing, kinda high-power wheezing, where you just breathe out as fast and as deep as you can from your lungs. It just seems to get rid of the gunk faster, cos when I cough my throat tenses up and it kinda catches it all on the way up.

Sounds loving ridiculous if you do it right, like a human honk. Works though and easier on the throat
