ICTChris Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 The Sainsburys at Gorgie has the receipt scanning thing. I was there a few months back and only saw it when I was walking out with no receipt, I just walked out and it was fine. Good fortune as I’d stolen loads of stuff. Phew! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) UPS is now running a close race with Evri as being the worst c**ts in package delivery. Their website “tracking” is laughable, their phone menu is inscrutable, their phone representatives are haughty and their service is apparently modeled on 1980’s Russian labour practices. How you can fail to get a bloody envelope between two planes, in a three hour window, to make a guaranteed delivery window you’re charging a blooming fortune for is insane.

scottsdad Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I was talking to my neighbour yesterday. Hadn't seen him in a while and he looked very thin. He's in his 70s and when you see someone that age lose a lot of weight, you think the worst. He told me he had been in hospital, in intensive care for 10 days and had also caught a flesh eating bug whilst in there. But the reason he was in hospital? An abscess. He described it as "internal" and one of the biggest the surgeon said he had ever seen. They had people come from Glasgow and Dundee to take photos of it. The only way they could get it out was to go in through the perineum. As he described it "they had to lift up the baws and get at it that way". The abscess was so big it left a huge wound right between his scrotum and bumhole. They kept him in intensive care to allow the wound to close a little and waiting for a plastic surgeon to come. They put in stitches - as he explained it "stitches on the inside and stitches on the outside". Anyway, he seems better now and I just wanted to share this with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently recovering from surgery for my third one of these. Nowhere near as bad as the one you described but literally a pain in the arse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
