Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

I just spent a very unpleasant hour in the Mater clinic getting an infected bite debrided. Life lesson, kids: if an insect bite looks weird, get it seen to sooner rather than later.

Yikes, glad you got sorted in the end

Eh "debrided" though? TA I can't figure out if that's a typo or I don't know what…

Not a typo. It's basically a *very* thorough cleaning of wounds that aren't healing properly because there's dead tissue in there.

the 30 minutes was a lie. no surprise there.

I had to google it .

remove damaged tissue or foreign objects from (a wound).

so 35 minutes it was then. she tried to offer me a deal but i was in no humour after being on hold for 35 minutes listening to their **** hold music. so she "grand, i've removed it" and then hung up. no goodbye, nothing. so they are rude on top of everything else.

You'll just have to imagine the meow noises they're making.

My big toe nail is cracked horizontally. Not sure what's going on. Has never been right after a soccer match years ago. Fungal infections yuck etc. Did see professionals about it before, but they seem bemused about it. Not sore, but worried that a doctor or podiatrist will do something stupid that'll cripple me.

I’m a foot health practitioner (chiropodist) and 3rd year pod student. If the fungal infection has gone down the full nail the only way to clear it is with oral mediation called Terbinafine from your gp - depending on your medical history as to whether they will give it to you OR remove the nail and apply a topical anti fungal product such as Lamisil to the nail bed to remove the fungus before the nail grows over it. The horizontal crack caused by trauma (soccer match) and probably grows out damaged and is probably a permanent problem. Short of removing the toe (which gp’s or pods don’t do), you are not in danger of being at the next Paralympics in the foreseeable future. (I’ll send you a bacs link for the expertise and advice :-) )

That I need to check 3/4 times a day to see what day it is .

The media coverage of Irish rugby players.

Oh look, one got married. Look, another is having a baby.

Imagine that. They are so special.

That my plan for a sex swing is out the window since I heard of DH’s ‘‘misadventure ‘ . And I didn’t tag her deliberately , so don’t say anything 😷

You could have at least told your fellow day ignorant sufferers what day it was!

Fcukity. I've been having knee/hip/foot issues fir a few months now and did nothing about it apart from take up yoga (doctor recommended). I was at a gig last night and hip is in absolute bits today. Which doesn't bode well for Coldplay on Monday and my trip to France on Tuesday. In hindsight, I should've given my leg at least a day between to recover.

I actually had orthotics pre-covid and got out of the habit of wearing them when I spent my time in slippers for 2 years solid. That was because one leg is shorter than the other. It's probably that but I'm booked back in with the GP (mid September) to see if I can get a referral for a physio or something.

lunch in the men’s test cricket. Yet 85% of the time during the break is spent by the pundits discussing, promoting and analysing the upcoming women’s World Cup. Instead of the mornings play.

If it was the other way around. Woman’s game yet the pundits during the break focusing on the men’s team you’d not hear the end of it… and rightly… play to resume and off to the adds..

My phone. Missed a call earlier on. didnt hear it. noticed the volume was turned down so i turned it up to full. i have missed 2 calls since. only now do i realise that i had Mute turned on. somehow putting the volume to max doesn't turn off mute. stupid phone.

My head is melted off me in work.

I’ll look it up and get back to you 🫣

She's got the hump with me again . . don't know what I'm supposed to have done wrong this time . . Ah well, I'm off down the pub to finish the darts competition.

my TA about the Oasis thing is firstly the venue and secondly the ticket prices.

Stinks of just one almighty cash grab. Absolutely nothing about it is in anyway related to making it a positive experience for your average gig goer / Oasis fan. They just entered the world of the corporate gluttons. Play to as many people as possible in as short a time as possible and ££££££££££

And this from a band that during their heyday were non stop “ ohhh we are working class blahh blahhh “

No... not Papa Lazarou...

TA that will strike fear into the hearts of LoG fans before bedtime!

If your doorbell rings dont answer it.
