Hello, dear

Happy Massive Racist Bonfire Day to all who celebrate. Must say I'm a little curious about the record-breaking 200ft bonfire going up in Larne tonight, which of course is :airquote: non-sectarian :airquote: .



Since much wee-er bonfires have warped windows and destroyed gardens hundreds of metres away in the past, it'll be interesting to see what kind of ancillary damage is done here, and how many Unionist children are hospitalized for smoke inhalation.

:britane:

those houses are going to be hosed

when i was small, bonfires were just whatever old shite wood people had lying around and couldn't be bothered taking to the skip - they were about the size of that top bit

the district parades are in my town today and it's raining in sheets :geno:

I had a laugh at some Unionist account justifying the Big Bonfire by saying it gave local lads engineering experience, as if "burning Catholic effigies" on your CV gets you a job with Siemens.

That’s all part of the fun. Burning down their houses, ruining the local park, and injuring and killing kids building them is all part of the glorious Protestant culture

It really seems like one of those evolutionary things where the compulsive pallet tower and burning behaviour would just wipe out the population after a pretty short amount of time.

Belongs in the osha thread in gbs. Would firefighters be expected to try and rescue someone climbing on that thing? Just seems like a death wish.

I know when I have a spinal injury from falling off something I like to make it next to the giant loving bonfire that will collapse on me and incinerate me if they don't move me quickly enough.

Just to make it extra exciting for the emergency services.

The Belfast Telegraph posted:

The Craigyhill bonfire in Larne, which has been described as the largest in the world by its organisers, spectacularly toppled over. The bonfire had aimed to raise money for a local child who is undergoing cancer treatment.

I honestly thought it was going to say

Can't fault NHS Wales.

Been feeling out of sorts for a while and had horrendous fluid retention in my legs - socks making horrible deep marks - for a while (panicky me - oh no I've got congestive heart failure) - fasted 36hrs & vlcd for another 12 hours last week and dropped 6kg **in 2 days** so likely about 5kgish was just water. 8.5kg (18lb) off in a week in total!

Anyway, it was a bit of a wait to get GP appointment, esp as I was going to be away 2 weeks, but had phone appointment with GP last week, blood test yesterday 'for everything' (I suspected iron anaemia from the symptoms).

Phone call today 'you're your blood tested in the diabetic range - 56 - (which is apparently bad, and 41 is the most it should be for 'normal'.)
Anyway, got to have a follow up blood test in 2 weeks in case it was an anomaly, phone appointment made (with diabetic nurse) for a few days after that and follow up GP for a few days after that! All the appointments made in a single batch phone call from the surgery. Didn't have to phone them.

Glad it was just that though, when the nurse did the blood test yesterday it was 'oh about 2 weeks for results' so when the receptionist phoned me today my initial thought was 'oh no it's really serious'.

Same! One of the few skills I picked up call centre work was learning to have a ‘phone voice’, so people outside the north would understand me saying, like, ‘mirror’ or ‘eight’
