Don't get me wrong I love this show. On my 4th rewatch but I swear the musical interludes and theme are about twice as loud as the dialogue. I wish streaming places offered some kinda audio smoothing thing for us weirdos

I'm moving house soonish and I've had the same chap delivering my post for 5 years. I always meant to give him a Xmas card and a little tip but honestly I've been in major debt and borderline poverty for the most of it but now back on my feet.

The reason for the title is that he's such a nice guy that even when I see him 4 streets away he says hello and uses my name yet I realised the other day I have never asked his and now it feels like it's been so long it'd be weird or rude.

Also is just saying "you've been the best postman I've had in 30 years I'm moving away soon and just wanted to thank you" enough and if not what's the best gift. I'm over thinking this hugely but a bottle of whiskey of he doesn't drink is no good. Box of chocolates feels like would either melt or just take up space in his bag. I guess the answer would be cold hard currency but that feels impersonal. Idk he's just been such a friendly face the whole time and I see him doing the route less often these days and want him to know I appreciate it

This ideally focused around Europe but curious for other answers too. I live in quite a small town in the UK. Not hugely progressive but doesn't feel necessarily dangerous. But let's just say it's a bit dodgy holding hands with him publicly for the most part. What are people's recommendations for places to travel where same sex couples can go about their day clearly together and in love without any weird looks?

Hey there hairloss experts! I have just started my hairloss journey and the company sent me minoxidil 2.5mg tablets when I requested topical due to already taking a lot of tablets for various things. They are sending out a topical solution of minoxidil 5% and finesteride 0.1%

My question is, is there any benefits or negatives to the idea of me taking this month of oral minoxidl to kinda kick-start things and then maybe moving to every other day or slowly taper off then to prepare my scalp for slightly less minox than it's used to?
Or indeed take the month or oral combined with the topical?

Or should I just chuck them out and wait for the topical?

I'm basically wanting to start things off ASAP as I've planned this terribly not knowing about the shedding and would like it not to be at its worst in September as Im best man at a wedding

Thanks in advance :)

So it's my own stupid fault. Advisor at the jc told me to apply for limited capability as I'm in a sling most of the time and gave very limited range of motion in my arms. That and a whole host is mental health issues either pre existing or from my epilepsy meds

I was very much under the impression they send me a form to complete and I'd return it. Cut forward to today and I missed my return date by 2 days having realised from a cryptic work journal note that I hadn't sent it back. It was in the post the same day as the deadline.

The work coach said to ring maximus but I'm not sure what to say to them. I really don't want to start this all over again because of my own stupidity and crappy brain fog epilepsy nonsense that's ruining my whole damn life

Hi people. Just a quick question may have been able to find this out on Google I did try but no success. I claim both pip and uc. Issue is they fall one on the 10th and the other on the 19th. My rent is due each 1st of the month and despite budgetting efforts to my best each month I end up having to borrow a bit from family then pay them back 10 days later. I was wondering if it's possible or easy to ask dwp to change one or the other to the last day of each month or thereabouts so that rent can be taken before anything other bills take it?

I'm being very impatient I know but a none tracked 1st class was sent early Friday and just asked my postie as he passed but he had nothing for me. If I were to take some ID and proof of address to the office is there basically any chance of it being there? I get that there's probably backlogs and things from the long weekend but I've never had post from this person (my mum) arrive more than 24hr later

I'm an idiot. December before last I had my first ever seizure cold turkeying off mega high doses of ambien. I should have told the first responders. I should have told the paramedics. I should have told the drs who checked me in. I should have told the nurses the drs the surgeons. But I didn't cause I'm ashamed and embarrassed and assumed they'd treat me badly. Keep in mind this is the uk I've no reason to ever think any of that. It was just my secret and I was in no sensible place.

Fast forward a year. The only reoccurrences have been when taking drugs. So I cut them mostly out. Except good old ambien. My insomnia cure for ten plus years (not prescribed). However I now have two complex broken and dislocated shoulders one of which needs replaced aged 32. I've started to add in pain meds to my illicit drug cocktail like a moron so that I can just have some normal days where everything doesn't hurt. Lo and behold those are the only days I start to look forwards to (3x a week).

I'm on lamotrigine 100 morning 100 night. No seizures but then I've also been taking ambien so Yknow idk if there would have been anyway. I'm so flat and lifeless. I can't make it through a day without crying. My boyfriend is sick to death of it and I can feel him drifting away from me. I spend most days wishing I was dead or would wake up from this horrible nightmare of a two years I'm enduring. I'm on all the benefits I can be. I am too poor to afford dinner. I'm so close to losing everything and everyone and I can't stop myself.

Moving from lamotrogine to lacomiside next month but I'm the grand pharmacy of my life I don't really see that making any difference.

I am in recovery for the ambien but they think I take much less than I do. They don't know (unless this weeks piss screen shows) about my opiate issue and they dont know how close I am to just giving up. My life wasn't exactly easy before but I had prospects. Now I can't lift pans keel the cupboard and my boyfriend is sick of my crying. What is the point of any of this torture carrying on

Hard workers of the UK I need your help. My partner complains of foot pain allllll the time after work. For context he's on his feet maybe 8 out a 9hr day in a fairly small warehouse mixed wood and concrete flooring. He needs steel toes although not mandatory he moves heavy crates often. His request was sturdy laces as he somehow tears and frays these, no idea how. not leather against my arguments and under £60, again I told him this was silly and the reason they last less than a year. Buy good bug once and all.

He gets a lift in n 2 out of 5 days and the rest involve a combined 1hr walk to and from train stations commuting

So posties, amazon hero's, shelf stackers and all you other wonderful lot who keep this country going let me hear your shoe recommendations, give me brands,types, materials etc

I've tried pushing him down the army navy surplus route but his aversion to leather shoes is preventing much movement there.

Any advice greatly appreciated much love

So an ambulance pulled up next to my neighbours house at speed. Banging on the door shining lights in and shouting through the letter box. They asked how well in new here which isn't very much tbh and they continued shouting a bit then started to loiter

Next a fire truck pulled up and after some harder banging whacked a ladder up against the window and shone the brightest torch ive ever seen in my life through some windows

Now they both seem to have left. My assumption would have been wait for the police who can presumabky kick a door in if they think it's a life and death situation. Do you think the firemen assessed as an empty flat or what? Seems all round strange to me

So I have a neurology appointment on Friday and have been taking lamotrigine 100 mg twice daily for a year and a half. in the last year I’ve had one very minor seizure which I think was probably a TC but lasted just a couple of seconds and I was still upright on the sofa when it finished postictal for a short while but nothing serious. I appreciate the low severity is probably due to the to medication, but the side-effects of this medicine have been pretty hard on me and I’m really keen to get it reduced where possible. not necessarily moved to something else,just maybe half it slowly and see how it goes. I

It makes me feel Empty like I can’t look forward to anything or get excited for anything. It gives me quite bad agoraphobia where I just going outside seems overwhelming. the brain fog that everyone talks about has rendered me basically unemployable and I don’t know if it’s the seizures from back when I had them all the medicine since, but I just feel like I’ve ruined my life completely. I’m not who I was before. And I really miss who I was before. I was motivated and felt capable now I just feel like a depressive mess

so yeah, I don’t think it’s really the right place to ask I guess but has anyone had any experience? Reverse titrating their AEDs after a year no seizures bearing in bout of them that started this when I was in my early 30s was the first time I’ve ever had them as well, so maybe it was just a rough patch?

Thank you in advance for any answers

So I need to get a bike from wallsend to airport tomorrow around 11am. I know this isn’t permitted during any kind of peak hours but given the fact it’s princely going to be empty tomorrow what do you think my chances few of going via monument or am I going to have to go up as around South gosforth For clarity it’s Joe a folding or e bike

Basically two quick questions. Firstly for context I was diagnosed with epilepsy last year and understand that I should have contacted the dvla pretty quickly.

However I was pretty seriously injured during the seizure and then struggled with the side effects of the medicine pretty much ruining my memory and functioning. i only have a provisonal licence and save for a few driving lessons a few years ago I've never driven nor tried to.

1- How much trouble will I be in for not notifying them for almost a full year? Gov UK says possible £1000 fine which would financially ruin me.

2- I would ideally like to keep the provisonal as a form of ID. A long shot but is there a way to keep the physical licence but have the dvla record that it is not valid?

Apparently my 30 year old face is not enough to convince shop staff I'm not 15 trying to buy a bottle of wine every few months. Thanks in advance

Pretty much as stated in the title. I have a fair few medical conditions because I won the genetic crap lottery. I see that ozempic and a few other medicines can be given as a "depot" that lasts a week or longer meanwhile I'm over here with 8 alarms a day in my phone for random pills
