Trying to see Nimrods is really really annoying me. It is showing 4 days near me and on every single day it has one showing whilst I am at work! Never has it been so difficult to see a film!

I was sat listening to Simple Plan - JetLag and thinking it would be so funny if someone made a montage of Ben and Adam to Simple Plan - JetLag at the end of S19. Coz its the first time they've been split up for a main season. Coz its about missing someone due to being in different time zones and whislt Japan doesn't have different time zones it would be hilarious. I'd do it myself but I have no idea how 😂

Is it just mean or did there seem to be a lot more falls than usual during the last two days? Maybe I'm just used to the bigger competitions where the big names (that arent part of the commonwealth) just don't seem to ever fall but there just seemed to be a lot more than I've seen before

Sorry for yet another post from me but this is the only place I feel I can get advice.

10 days ago my partner had a corneal transplant. Everything was looking good but about 4 or 5 days ago his eye started weeping more than it had been. My partner thought nothing of it really but then at his follow up on Tuesday just gone (his 1 week post op) they discovered that the leak was cause by a suture that had come loose when the inflammation went down.

Today he went in for suture revision and it seemed to go well, the only thing is as they were replacing the original loose suture and tightening it the other were coming loose and they ended up replacing all of the sutures as well as adding a couple more.

He has another follow up on Monday just to see how these sutures are holding up but has also been put on the list for surgery that day just in case. He told me that obviously this is just precautionary but if necessary it could be for either another suture revision or it could be to redo the whole procedure.

I am just worried that this is not going well and despite the Dr's reassurances on Tuesday that this is normal, it is worrying that they had to replace all of the sutures and not just one.

I'm also worried about money coz this takes him away from being able to work and he just lost his job about a month before having surgery so Statutory Sick Pay isn't really an option and whilst we do get UC most of the time we get next to nothing because of my work.

So my partner had his 1 week post op follow up today and he's apparently got a loose stitch which is causing his eye to leak and weep a lot. He has to go back in to surgery again on Thursday to fix this. He's been told it'll likely just be drop and maybe a local around his eye if necessary. He's obviously a bit worried about this development but the doctor has told him that its actually quite normal and happens to a lot of people. They've put a soft lense in his eye to act as a temporary shield of sorts and he's got an eye shield to wear over the top as well.

Just wanted to share this update and see if anyone else has had to go back in for something like this before.

My partner just had a corneal transplant in his left eye on Monday just gone. I couldn't go with him to his follow up the next day so am just going off the info he has given me.

He is doing his eye drops either 4 or 6 times a day and we have roughly figured out a schedule that works for these (every 2 hours). He hasn't said that he was supposed to sleep with an eye shield but I've read that it is recommended, I've also read that he's probably gonna be doing eye drops for longer than the 28 days he's currently been told to do them for. I've also seen people refer to anti rejection eye drops which confuses me as my research about into which drop he has says its a steroid and an antibiotic. I guess the steroid could be anti rejection but I don't really know.

I'm annoyed I couldn't go to this appointment with him so I could find out the fact and info for myself as my partner is not great at remembering specifics and relaying them accurately.

Basically I wanna help him through his recover as much as possible and just am wondering what I should expect over the next few weeks and months. He did have to have a full thickness graft rather than the partial thickness one they were originally planning and he was only in surgery for about 3 hours on the day itself. If there is any other info anyone needs to give advice then I will share what I can and what I know. I just wanna help him through this time as best as possible

We are in the UK

Before yesterday I hadn't been to Thorpe Park in 4 or 4 years, I was shocked at the free for all it became at the top of some of the queues.

My friend had been more recently than me and mentioned that Stealth closed their bag storage and just had cubbies but seeing it in practice was crazy. There were no staff directing any of the 3 queue lines to lanes and they were just opening the queue and letting a load of people on the platform creating this free for all in a small space. Personally think that they need to get rid of these cubbies and return to the bag storage kiosk as it creates more space on the platform for people and they need to have someone directing you to a lane rather than letting a load of people up there and creating chaos.

It was the same over at The Swarm, whilst it wasnt as bad as Stealth, they still weren't directing anyone to a particular lane and just shouting to move to the furthest avaliable lane.

I used to go every year as a teenager and into my early 20s and I have never seen chaos like it. They know there are large groups like school trips coming to they should be doing that more around this time than ever before. Organisation on the platforms seems to have gone out of the window on these two rides particularly.

All About You is a lovely song but it was released 20 yrs ago and has featured every single time McFly have done a 2 song set. They have so many other great songs in their back catalogue that never get played.

It may be controversial but this song is massively overplayed.

So I have had a really bad day with my mental health and it has resulted in me not being able to make the performance I had tickets for today. I emailed seeing if there is anything they can do as I am classed as disabled despite not purchasing accessible tickets. I am not expecting them to say I can exchange my tickets but I had to try.

Has anyone had any luck exchanging tickets from a show they missed? Booked with Six Tickets.

A little while ago I bought tickets for me and my mate to go to a Sunday Matinee in the West End as we were gonna be in town for a gig the night before anyway. Since buying these tickets my mate's boss has refused her request for the whole weekend off and only given her Saturday off for the gig (which has come with a whole separate load of challenges).

This has now left me with a spare ticket for the show since the 3rd person who was coming to the gig the night before wasnt interest and is doing something else whilst we were supposed to be a the show.

I thought about getting a refund and then just booking myself a seat again but I would have 2 months in which to use the funds to rebook and have no idea when we would be able to get back to London to see it together.

I thought about trying to sell it one but the thought of the person I sell it to sitting next to me, weirds me out slightly. I know I'll be sitting next to a stranger anyway but having the person on the other side be a stranger that I sold the ticket to and know I sold it to them is just kinda weird to me.

I don't know anyone who is gonna be in London to come with me at short notice either.

So now I have an extra £75 ticket that I have no idea what to do with

Planning a trip to TP soon and with the nice weather I reallt don't wanna wear my trainers, I love water rides to cool down and my trainers take forever to dry even in nice weather. I bought a pair of DM Sandals last year and wore them to the theme parks in Florida when I went back in Oct. I don't see why I couldn't wear them on this upcoming trip to TP as they are buckled around my ankles so won't fall off and there is nothing in the Ts and Cs that say I can't but thought I'd ask here if anyone has had any issues wearing sandals like these to the park.

NB: They are the most comfortable sandals I have ever had so wearing them for long periods of time are not an issue.

Edit to add: Cannot attach a picture but I have the popular Doc Marten Blaire Sandals which are open toed but have a secure buckle around the ankle - personally I do them up to the second tightest hole

So I work in a pub and a little over 2 months ago our managers resigned and left with the minimum amount of notice, only telling us staff about 2 days before they were leaving. I work for a brewery and in the last 2 months they have not been able to find us a manager to run the place. We have had a relief manager on and off who has been great but last week she was told she needed to go back to her own pub and that they didnt have anyone else lined up to run the place.

In the last 2 months we have been closed more than we have been open and its been difficult to understand and figured out what to do. Everytime we've had to close we've either known the plan in advance or within a few days we've know there was a plan in place, right now we know nothing.

At the end of April, there was a manager lined up to take over but then the day he was supposed to start he bailed. Only messaging the area manager at 5 am the day of, and this message was never passed on to the staff until one of the chefs turned up and no one answered the door.

Its been a really difficult few months and just when things start looking up we are dealt with another blow. Right now it has been a week since the relief manager was told to leave and we have still not heard anything. I love my job, we are a quiet pub and there tends to be a lot of solo working both Front and Back of House (with a manager around if needed). We are open from 12-11pm each day and I actually like not finishing at a stupid time like I have in other jobs. It also gives me flexibility to work shifts in my casual jobs either during the same day or on my days off.

I know many people will say I should get a new job but honestly I don't want to leave. I just want to work but without a manager we cannot open and therefore I cannot work. Some people will say I should look into being manager but I am not qualified and whilst I enjoy working for this company at the level I am, a manager's position is way too much of a headache for me and I do believe my mental health could handle that.

I honestly don't know what to do, as I said I don't want to leave but at the same time I don't know how long this closure is gonna go on for. I am looking at what else is out there but nothing else has the same working hours as where I currently am, a lot of the places looking are in the city centre and would require me to work til 1/2/3 am and I just really don't want to go back to that. After 14 yrs in hospitality I am finally in a place where I enjoy what I am doing and earning a decent amount each week and I really don't want to have to go back to square one if I don't have to.

I really really don't know what to do anymore.

So every so often (generally when I am cold and am trying to warm up) I get this weird shooting pain in my little finger. None of the others, just my little one. I have tried to figure out with help from Google what this is coz it doesn't happen all the time. It doesn't last long but it annoyingly painful when it does happen.

When I have searched up what it could be Cubital Tunnel Syndrome seems to be a possibility that always comes up and I keep coming back to. I do occasionally get a weak wrist in the same hand (right) but I work in a pub so have always put that down to pulling pints constantly. I have no idea if the wrist weakness and the finger pain are related but as I said I keep coming back to this being a possibility.

I haven't been to my GP coz I feel a bit stupid since it doesn't happen all the time and last time I went about other pain I had, while I was referred I just got told I needed to exercise more by physio.

Am I over thinking things or could this random shooting pain down my little finger be Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?

Looking at the stats post Season 17, I believe Adam is now on double digits.

Adam has won 10x

Ben has won 7x

Sam has won 5x

This is not including Hide & Seek: NYC

Came on here a couple of weeks ago to vent about my work situation. Many people said get a new job, which at the time I really didn't want to consider. Now things have become a shit show once again.

I said in my previous post that we had a new manager starting on 25th April. That became today (28th April). 12.23pm I get a message from the manager who had been with us a couple of weeks as relief that my shift this evening was cancelled coz the new guy bailed! They hadn't even started yet and have bailed! I am so fucked off at this whole situation, the last month has been such a shit show. We've managed to catch the nice weather and were open over Easter and this past week but now we are closed again, and once again I have no idea when I will be back in work.

I am looking for something else just incase but I am not looking massively hard, I have not fully committed to leaving and ideally don't want to leave. I love my work place and the people I work with in a day to day but if someone higher up does not pull their finger out and actually do something to keep the place open then they are gonna lose me as well as the rest of the staff that work there.

I have worked for this company, in this place for 15 months and we have had 7 different sets of managers, including relief and the guy who has now bailed. We were in a great spot towards the end of last summer and over Christmas until they basically sent the manager to a new pub with only 2 weeks notice. Since then its been one thing after another.

Like I said earlier, I am looking at what else is out there and applying but not to the point of actively wanting to leave. If they can sort their shit out amd get us back to a place where we can function and stay open then I'm gonna stay. If this open/close/open/close bullshit continues to happen then I am gonna leave.
