I've been playing a lot of skyrim recently. Of course, I've got it modded to the gills. Most of them were just little gameplay tweaks like SPERG and more interesting loot and tougher bandits. I recently installed some sort of 'more varied enemies' mod and I'm regretting it. It can be a bit jarring when you are out collecting herbs and suddenly run into a rotfiend or nekker from The Witcher 3. I've got to say that the models are pretty well done though.

I have only been paying attention to local news infrequently. I don't like being ignorant and ill informed but I've got my mental health to think about too.

God, it's so loving frustrating - just such blatant corruption and there doesn't seem to be anybody with the will or means to stop them.

Sorry. I forgot this was GBS and not C-Spam.

I don't think I'm preaching to the choir but gently caress the UK. I'm in N. Ireland which makes me part of the UK too. I get that youtube comments is full of trolls but I believe some of these comments are genuine. gently caress the UK.

the person i spoke to seemed nice and took a lot of info but they are not the one making the decision, so i absolutely anticipate a 'you can gently caress right off with this claim' letter in a few weeks

I don't know, you might be okay. I was cut off in 2017 in a face to face interview with Capita. A couple of years ago I got it reinstated and I don't think I would have if it wasn't a phone interview. Such is the nature of disabilities that are not visible at first glance.

I actually got a tooth removed today. Got a root canal a few years ago. I was told today that if I had a crown in it might have saved the tooth and it was something I've been meaning to get looked at for a while. The dentist told me a lot of people lost teeth because of covid. I had to go private, too - the NHS isn't taking any more clients. Cost me 80 loving quid that I can't really afford.

did you ask for the tooth back at least? Tooth fairy will reimburse you 50p (used to be 20p when I wor a lad)

Nah, one time I went to that dentist to get a wisdom tooth removed and he had already thrown it in the biohazard bin before I could see it. I wanted to take it home with me.

At least I got to see the tooth this time. It was in pieces, maybe I could have got £1 - 2 for it?

i had my last dental appointment today, scale and polish following on from 2 fillings, one of which is probably going to turn into a root canal

the only reason i was able to get one was because i was able to use a nearby clinic that handles people with autism, it would otherwise be there are no loving dentists taking even private patients for miles around

I didn't have much trouble seeing the dentist as I live in a fairly sparsely populated area in N.I.

But earlier this week I rang the doctor who is supposed to me giving me an assessment for ASD. I got the letter confirming I was on the waiting list in Febuary last year. She told me that the waiting list is 20-25 months and if it was any consolation I was near the top of the list.

No, we call them 'tractor trailers'.

Yep, apparently she likes anal with no lube.

Prince William too. He's into pegging.

But this #drybumming thing seems to have nothing to do with them.

I ate out this morning and I feel guilty about having a fry. It had black pudding but no white pudding. Which reminded me, I prefer white pudding over black but I haven't had any in ages.

Just browsing the last few pages of this thread got me thinking about recipes with white pudding - I was thinking fried rice. Then I found this:

I just happen to have some chorizo in the fridge, a bunch of fresh thyme and parsley too. I'm going to adapt this for white pudding.

Yeah, I don't know why I'm typing this up at 5.17am. Most people in the UK are probably asleep.

I heard a crash from upstairs at around 1am. My neighbour had fallen and it left a lump the size of an egg on his head. He called an ambulance - which only arrived 3 minutes ago. It came all the way from Larne, which is 40 miles away. There used to be a hospital with a casualty ward 10 miles away and the ambulance would have been here within a half hour.

Don't know why I'm telling anyone this. If he dies I'd like it to be more than just a column inch in the local paper, like that poor student who died from sepsis earlier this week while in a hospital bed. That kid actually rang 999 from his hospital bed because he thought he was being neglected.

If this sort of scandal happened 10 years ago it would be a national outrage.

Stupid loving shithole of a country and government.

I'm glad I don't have stomach issues. GPs and their prescriptions can only do so much.

The doctor prescribed me mirtazapine after I told him I didn't like fluoxetine. I wish I had known about the irritability side effects of it. If I did I might still have a clean rap sheet. Might still have some friends on the forums too. There wouldn't be a hole in my wardrobe either.

You can't understand what people are trying to say when you can't see their facial expressions and it's just words on the internet. I think you are only joking and I get that.

I need to take a break from posting before I threaten to do to you what I did to my wardrobe.

You don't want to be my friend.

I'm just going to leave it at that and try to get some much needed sleep.

I think I'll manage about two hours before I wake up and find myself chewing on my bedsheets. lol.
