Random Irritations

[HomerJSimpson]

Sadly reading that suicides are up by over 200% during the Covid lockdown.
As one NHS Mental Health Nurse stated: it feels like we are on a beautiful beach calmly waiting on a tsunami of referrals - just remember folks, you’ll never regret being kind.. Stay safe, keep well..xx

Just had some news tonight. Old schoolmate now living in Canada took his own life last week. Wondered why he hadn't been on FB as he was a prolific poster. He'd split with his wife and had a rough six months but had good access to the kids and had got a new job and seemed to be turning it round and never an inkling in anything he posted that he was struggling. SO hard on his daughters who he dotted over and who loved him to bits too and especially for his family here in the UK so far away and unable to do anything

Sorry for your loss, I just hope we can, as a Nation, get through this crisis and limit the damage from other illness’s.

Barretts oesophagus, very serious, a 50 year old mate of mine died from it last month.

It was oesophagus cancer that got my dad.

Thanks for that. I hadn't seen him for many years but we did talk regularly on FB. I think this is going to be a long term problem, and especially for some sections of society like business owners struggling to keep their livelihood going, but of course it is an issue that remains in the shadows and can affect anyone at anytime. It needs bringing into the light and people need to find a way to ask for help and say when things are dark and getting darker

My wife moaning as her hair appointment will get cancelled if Leicester has to wait another two weeks for pubs / hairdressers to open. We live outside the area likely to be caught, but the hairdresser is in it.

My work phone has a micro usb port to charge it, obviously the plug only goes in one way.
I can guarantee I will try to plug it in upside down shortly, I'd say maybe 8 times out of 10 I get it wrong first time ?

Had another attempted break in at house last night, luckily the CCTV footage is excellent of culprit.
Just fitted a heavy duty lock to gate as well now.
So bloody annoying ??

more than likely junkies, get a dog. not had an attempt here in a long time. was a spate around here when a well known junkie was let out, went on a spree then got caught, back inside

Swimming goggles were too tight and had rings around my eyes for 2 hours!

Indeed, it can only go in two ways but i always need 3 attempts at it!

Try wearing an FFP3 mask for 12 hours. That gives you a nice pattern on the face

The guy who invented USB passed away

At the cemetery they lowered the coffin
Then brought it back up and turned it round and put it in the right way

I’m so so sorry for that ?

Damn I thought that was just me.

Could they be replies that people then edit? I started one the other day, not to you, decided it was not worth it and so deleted it. Presumably the person got a notification that I had replied but then there would be nothing there.

Not sure, one was a reply but has since disappeared, the other was fresh post which looks to have disappeared. Shame really as it was an absolute dynamite post

I've has a few weird notifications recently as well. Get the notification that "XXX quoted your post in the thread YYY" but when I click on the notification XXX has actually replied to a different poster.

A little drop of HIDs nail varnish or paint on the ''up side'' does the trick.

Might have been me, I've occasionally replied in the wrong place or had 2nd thoughts about sending it.
But once you press REPLY you can't delete the message till after its been sent. The Phantom poster strikes again
