Got put under for it (stuff local) and got out that afternoon. Was back at work next day and apart from a few days tenderness it's been brand new. Been skooshing tatty watter, worry free ever since. You'll be fine. Similar experience for me, with a wee trauma added in. Just about to be put under when another surgical team member appeared in the room - a lady that I know socially (not intimately). Well, of course she knows me a bit more intimately now. Almost as embarrassing as last night's football. Almost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The water is off in a fair chunk of Glasgow at the moment. No particularly petty, but when you go on the Scottish Water twitter feed to try and get info, it’s full of people making shite jokes like “We’ll huv tae get oan the beers instead” or “Ah need a shite, when kin ah flush?” and tagging their equally moronic pals to do the same. Spoiler I know, it’s not as if we use it to wash HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 3 hours without water isn’t ideal but I think most of them are going to manage not to die of dehydration in that time. The water is back on now as well. (At least mine is!)

Hedgecutter Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 People replying to a sentence with a negative in it with a "no" when they actually mean "yes", and should have just replied with "correct". For example: "Can you not remember that?" "No" "So you can remember it?" "No, I didn't say that. I said I can't remember it" "Then why did you say you that you cannot not remember it then?" ... and so on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The questioner in this case is in the wrong, flinging in negatives like sentences were batteries. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't use Yes with a negative - Yes I can (remember it) or No I can't (remember it) would be the correct answer to the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, what I meant was that you shouldn't say yes (even though that's what you mean). Totally with Scottsdad on this one though. The situation shouldn't be allowed to occur in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also wrong though, the negative would be used when you are showing surprise that someone doesn't remember something. I do this type of s***e all day with Japanese students! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The public are grim. I used yo work for Scottish Water, we had an incident that required the water to be turned off for a whole village due to bacterial contamination. One guy went ballistic demanding why the water wasn't tested for it. When it was pointed out that the water was indeed checked for bacteria and that was the reason the water had been turned off he said it should have been tested sooner! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
