Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sadly, there's been more than one case of that on here.

It isn't just Cable Forum members or non disabled people that troll though.

There's a programme with a disability slant on Channel 4 called 'The Last Leg'.

One of the disabled side presenters has been trolling folk who criticise him in any way. The abuse has included swearing, rudeness and personal insults about people's appearance (a tad dissapointing coming from someone born with missing and deformed limbs).

Anybody who complained was subject to extremely big headed, arrogant and vile remarks. I can only assume that it's something to do with the 'oppressed oppress' syndrome.

Afterwards, the remarks were withdrawn- so he's a coward as well as an internet bully.

Russ has said that someone has been doing something similar on here with the comments field on the reputation system- another reason why I have it switched off.

It's a funny old world.

Hospital - infarction - legs......

Right now I still feel like popping to pound land to get a junior hacksaw and deal with it myself.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear about your ongoing health problems dilli and l just hope things improve soon for you.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Cheers. Somehow I don't see things getting better any time soon. Still I know it could be worse and all that.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l know how hard it can be sometimes dilli but l thinks its important to try to see things in a positive light even when things don't look that way sometimes.

I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was my boss with a torch bringing me more work.

Skype.
For some reason or other ("security") they have blocked my account so I can't use it.
The account unblocking process is ridiculous. Questions range from the reasonable "what credit card did you last use to purchase credit?" & "list 3 contacts" to the ridiculous "what month and year did you first use skype?" and what email address did you use when you originally signed up?" :confused:
So far they are refusing to unblock my account and are suggesting that I sign up again.........I'm thinking so that they can simply block my access and purchased credit again?! :dozey:

<FirstWorldProblems>

You go looking on YouTube for instructions or directions on how to do or achieve something which in theory should only take about 20 or 30 seconds of explaining yet all you can find are clips of about 5 or 6 minutes long where someone has decided they're a professional presenter and spend 90% of the clip explaining what the problem is that you're trying to solve, what alternatives you could try, why it's done this way and what else you can do as well.

Ok I get that some people may have no idea what they're doing and appreciate the extra pointers but if the task you're trying to research is fairly technical then perhaps someone who needs all the fluffy extra garnishing of information might ought to avoid trying it in the first place.

At the very least these self-appointed YouTube 'broadcasters' could offer a link to a direct, stripped-down and straight-to-the-point alternative, or even something in the title that tells you at which time frame the actual instructions begin.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks Hugh and den, just family problems that have reared up. Got to have my brother for a week, for the third time in a week he tried to stamp on our sisters face. He's got a weeks worth of school work to do, and he has had his PS4 taken from him as well.

Thinking of you! If you need to chat you know where I am

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks dilli but we are fine but we just wish some people listened to us far earlier as it would have saved a awful lot of heartbreak if they had believed us when we told family members before.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Am I wrong to be cross with people who only seem to want to know me when I have something that they want? And if so, why?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

No you have every right to be cross as l find with time we get to know who our real friends and family are and the ones who ain't and then my advice is to get of the ones who ain't Mark.

I want to punch those people who manage to take up a 10ft aisle in a supermarket, and the ones who park their trolley in front of a shelf and look for something while on the phone, one day I'm going to push there trolley out of the way, and let rip if they say one thing.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I would love to take a lump hammer and reprogram these peoples iphones just to see the look of horror on their faces as you reduce their entire life to a pile of anonymous shards.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Don't forget the idiots who stand in the middle of the escalator and block it.

Mobile technology is a great thing but frankly and alarming number of people treat their phones as if they're life support machines. Maybe that's because they are in a way... :shrug:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That must be horrible. I hate they things

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I dread those things in the summer, as often they will get inside the TV LCD panel and just walk around until they die, luckily because of the bad summer i have avoided them this year.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Killing lamp seems to have got rid of most of them now. How I relish that "crack" noise as yet another bites the dust.:)

Cheapie from Lidl's but does the job. Has a proper UV tube in it as well.

You should change those UV lamps every 12 months so as to keep the output wavelength of tyhe lamp optimal to kill more of them ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yep, got a spare tube to go in as needed.:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just had a phone call cancelling my surgery for tomorrow morning. Great eh?! :rolleyes:

That means the blood tests I had yesterday afternoon were a waste of time and will have to be repeated and we now have to change the arrangements we made for the period I was supposed to be away...

Having psyched myself up and not slept much last night I just wanted to get it over and done with and now this. Grrr....

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sadly these cancellations are becoming more and more common Osem as l have heard of some having their operations cancelled 3 to 4 times and that's in our area and one suspects many other areas will be just as bad.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry about the cancellation Osem.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes I think you're right and of course the knock on effects will be considerable as other procedures, tests etc. have to be rescheduled, repeated or whatever. It must cost the NHS ££££'s.

Still there are people far worse off than me...

---------- Post added at 17:00 ---------- Previous post was at 17:00 ----------

Thanks :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

A cancellation got my mum her operation, sadly 11 weeks on and she's still a 2 hour+ journey away :(

We tried to get her closer to home as she is in a room on her own and next to no people see here, but the ball started to roll to get her transferred to pur local hospital when she had a infection that had loads of puss:sick:

So that move is on hold, but we are taking in food (she's not to keen on their food) that can be cooked in hospital as the nurse said "as long as it is something she can eat, bring it in"

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sounds awful. Commiserations on that and hope you get it sorted sooner rather than later.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l can only echo the same thoughts as Osem.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Stuck in hospital again with an infection - I really hope they've got marmite as I'm already grumpy as it looks like I'll me here all week,

On the plus side this pic line they've got in is great it was a pain getting it fitted but well worth it :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that you are in hospital again dilli as this must get you really down at times as l sure many of us would get down about it.

Try to keep your chin up and l will have a word with the nurses about the marmite if none is forthcoming for you.:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

All sorted ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Don't forget the cheese and crackers for tonight either.;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That was an unexpected pleasure - but now that I know I can get them ;)

Still trying to find out how long I can expext to stay in this time, but hospital tine at weekends seems to be slow time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes from my own considerable experience's of hospital's at weekend's nothing gets done at all dilli.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear you have been captured yet again. Not a fun experience but at least you got your Marmite. :D

Hope you escape soon. <<hugs to you both>>

My moan is also about hospital. Won't go into details but my patience is being sorely tested.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear about your hospital problems jo and l do hope they get sorted out pronto.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Cheers, I hope you can get sorted too :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ den and dilli. Thanks guys. The one constant I have come to cherish is the support I get from the people I have come to know through this community.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I honestly wonder if the people cancelling these ops/clinics think about the hardship patients go through. In some cases, they have a phobia and get built up to having it done for it to be cancelled. Good luck dilli and Jo. And dilli, if I could I'd take a night in hospital to perv over, er sorry be looked after by, the female nurses.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

This really gets my goat. Parents who expect companies to do their job of parenting.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Cheers :tu: - I'm ok just get tired too easily these days then I tend to let it all ge to me.

With luck a few days in hospital will not only make me feel better but also give Natalie a rest and THAT'S whats important tto me not me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Commiserations on all the hospital issues Dilli and Jo - and anyone else for that matter!

Yesterday I got my new appointment for surgery in a month's time, just when we're supposed to be away for an educational assessment for Osem Jnr #2. I'd feel less anxious about trying the change the assessment (if that's even possible at this stage) if there was any guarantee I won't be getting another last minute call cancelling my op! Grrr...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Osem could you not ring your surgeon possible secretary and explain see if your surgery could be deferred say by a week.
Depending on waiting time see if you can get a cancellation appointment.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks. I have contacted her about our situation already and when the last date was cancelled I explained to them the situation we're in. I also put my name down for a cancellation but I need to have a blood test 2-4 days prior to surgery and would need time to have that done. I'm going to contact the college and the hospital this morning to see if we can work something out.

My pre-assessment was done mid August and its 3 month duration runs out mid November so putting the date back even further runs the risk that I'll need to have all that done again too... :spin:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l hope things get sorted out for you Osem.

My moan today is l have a terrible night as l have had a upset stomach since early yesterday so have found it pretty hard to eat anything apart from a couple of biscuits which l had to take before l took my medication each time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh no den. Hope it clears up for you. A trivial moan today, but I was sorting out one of the food cupboards and dropped a tin of sweetcorn on my foot. Luckily I was wearing slippers but I still swore. Now hobbling around in pain, after having ice on it for half hour.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes thank god you were wearing your slippers as without them you might have had a broken toe Mark but thankfully one suspects you will have a big bruise a little later.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You could try putting a corn plaster on it ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Looks like I'm in until at least the weekend, but at least it should be sorted properly before I get out.

Some of the other patiends are /interesting/ to say the least - I just do not know how the nurses cope with the attitude of some of the patients I really know.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That sucks dilli. And yes some of the patients could do with being thrown out of the hospital for their attitude.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Facebook is down just as I try and post a link

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yep and Virgins email service is down again.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I cannot get into my F B page. Does anyone know if it down

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I think Facebook are down yes, Nashville.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Now back up.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just got back into it, Thanks everyone

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

As den said, a lovely bruise on my foot when I woke up this morning. Very tender to touch, but nothing feels broken thank God.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes indeed praise be for that.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Seem to have a blocked toilet. Tried the usual buckets of water but to no avail. Looks like I've got to get to grips with it using a flexible probe. :sick:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Month end reports and financials.

:(

Rather have a blocked toilet tbh

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My old man's been taken into hospital over the weekend and without going into too much detail, it's not looking good for him or my mum as she relies upon him. He's in his 90's and we're told there's little chance that they'd perform major surgery on him at this stage. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry to hear about your Dad Osem other to say l hope and pray that he comes through things as my prayers are with you.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry Osem, Hope your Dad is ok,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My moan this morning and its not a big one compared to others not so lucky on this forum is they are not happy with my blood test results done on Monday so l have to repeat them next Monday and then wait for the results and then go from there.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear about your dad Osem. Our thoughts are with you.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear about your Dad Osem it must be a very worrying time. My thoughts are with you and your family. <<hugs>>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks for the good wishes guys. Yes all very stressful - spent most of the day trying to sort out carers to help look after my mum and clearing out tons of stuff my dad's accumulated over the years since they downsized. He seems positive enough but some stuff he said to me yesterday makes me think he feels it's his time. His main concern is what'll happen to mum because we can't look after her so if she can't cope at home with help she'll have to go into a home and I know he'd hate that thought.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My thoughts are with you Osem

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thinking of you and your family Osem take care and best wishes to all your family.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My moan is i thought it was Friday today and was rushing around to leave for work as i start at 12:45 on a Friday and and 14:00 the other days when on a late shift!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Trying to pay our council tax at the moment but the on-line page(s) are down. They say they're working on it. Don't want to have to do it by phone. I hate phones. Work of the devil. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Why don't you pay by Direct Debit heero.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Direct Debit is always the best way if you have the funds.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Funds are not always in the specific bank account. Especially if I'm not got a BB connection to be able to transfer them. You also get a few days grace before they get nasty.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Life being complicated. I told someone who made a hideous lie about someone in their family that I never wanted to speak to them again, and they got in touch yesterday begging me to forgive them the lie.

Trouble is, the lie was so massive that I cannot forgive the lie. Or forget it. And now I am getting abuse from them because I don't care about them. Er, bit hard to care about someone who makes up lies to get sympathy from others. I just feel like going outside and screaming for a while.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just had another blood test and its seems very likely that l have become a diabetic so they have made me a appointment to see a diabetic nurse two weeks yonder from now.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Let us know how you get one when you've seen her. :tu:

Don't forget if you need to chat about it - I'm about :)

.....

I did have a little bit of a moan / hate

I lost 8kilios last month and the hospital were not happy about that so they have put me on fortisip as a supplement.

It's not like I'm skinny or anything. I'm definitely overweight.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My old man was discharged Friday lunchtime and readmitted in severe pain about 5 hours later. He's still there... Waste of time!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear about your Dad Osem but it staggers me why he was discharged in the first place as l have heard that there are many patients which are readmitted when they not well enough to go home in the first place but were discharged because they needed the bed.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That is shocking Osem, best wishes and hugs to your Dad and family.

My moan today is Mother's who swear in front of their children. When I was in my local Asda today I witnessed an shouting match between a woman and an man. The man was not saying much but the woman was shouting and swearing I've got my effing kids in the car you bleep bleep bleep and I just thought what a good example you are to your young children. 1 it's okay to swear and 2 have no self respect :confused:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I hope you get things sorted - properly this time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Even at my surgery this morning somebody swore and then there were others using their smartphones.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks for the kind words guys. :)

As for the obsession with phones, the way some people behave it won't be long before the NHS will be having to spend millions on surgical smartphone removals. These people rely on them almost as if they're flipping life support machines... :confused:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The company I work for sucks.

Not only do we get 20 days usable holiday, the other 8 are bank holidays. plus you get an extra day every 3 year (up to 5 extra day max).

The boss has decided to close the canteen so no hot food or drinks will be served.

The sooner I get out of this Hite Shole the better.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Am I in the wrong to be cross when someone has a go at me for not replying to a text message instantly but it is OK for that person to go days before replying to me? Sadly this is a relative who I actually like so don't want to rock the boat by saying anything.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My sister moans at me for not answering texts/calls, and yet does exactly the same, I just laugh it off.
