Not advocating your council but it could of been done because the tree might have had a disease/been a danger to the public, contact them they'll tell you or there might have been a public notice on their website saying why they were doing it.Don Sholeone wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 8:18 pmMy local council!!
Got disturbed in the late afternoon by council workers who looked to just be doing some local pruning of the trees. Looked outside an hour later to see they have felled the Cherry Blossom tree that was just outside of my house. Absolutely gutted and pretty angry. Honestly can't believe they have done it. I can't see how it can be justified, it's been there for well over 50-60 years and no issues with the houses either side of me.

Joni Mitchell was right. They took all the trees. Put 'em in a tree museum.

Re: The Message of Hate Thread
Yeah already been in contact just waiting for them to get back to me, I understand the genuine reasons why it could have been felled, but I'd have at least expected them to consult with the residents. It's pretty central to the street and community, most people here have lived here for over 20-30 years, for them to just turn up and lop it down annoyed a lot of people.Tsi wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 10:08 pmNot advocating your council but it could of been done because the tree might have had a disease/been a danger to the public, contact them they'll tell you or there might have been a public notice on their website saying why they were doing it.Don Sholeone wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 8:18 pmMy local council!!

Women.
My gf was 'playing with my phone because she was bored' aka having a snoop.
Anyway, there's nothing dodgy on there but she went on snapchat which I barely use any more and opened up an old chat from 2020 (before we were dating) that had some pictures of a girl in lingerie that someone had sent me. Now my GF has got the hump even though she says 'you haven't done anything wrong, it was from before we were even dating'...but will now clearly be in a mood for days. I don't even know how to unsave pictures from snapchat that were previously saved in a chat

Try dating a Filipina, for some reason they tend to be at least 50% more crazy and dramatic I can't even mention a work colleague without being interrogated. One time a female colleague baked some brownies and brought them into work, she gave me the left overs to take home and she turned into a straight up MI5 interrogator as to the reasons I was the chosen one for the extra brownies. I'm like Baby, I'm fat?? That's why

Re: The Message of Hate Thread
Nipped into the pub today (I work shifts leave me alone) and there was a group of old (50s-60s) fellas chuntering on about how it's a disgrace you cant say foreigner anymore, when they've lived or been abroad they've always been very respectful when abroad and that immigrants just dont make the effort anymore, among other things.
So my message of hate I suppose is racists and the secondly lying racists who go on like a naff daily mail column.
Also I like the bloody pub i was in and I dont want it ruined by a bunch of old looney farts

Re: The Message of Hate Thread
I think it's too late with the oldies. The amount of times I tell my dad he can't say certain things, he listens for a while but after a few weeks he just forgets it all and then says awkward stuff, thankfully it's never anything extreme but mainly dated things.
I have sympathy to an extent as the definition of racism is becoming ever expansive and the wave of cancel culture has got people so disengaged with these topics to the point they don't really care anymore and as a consequence are just saying whatever they like. I think the whole racial debate and fight for equality has become a massive shitshow that really hasn't helped things lately.

Re: The Message of Hate Thread
I do have sympathy for older generations in that terms that were perfectly acceptable and widely used earlier in their life, and even in the recent past are now unacceptable. People are offended so easily and things change so quickly now it’ll be hard to keep up, especially if you’re older. When I was a kid in the 90s there was a National Spastic Association, that was on official charity but now you’d be shot down for calling someone a spastic.
I can excuse people using certain terminology, but obviously don’t agree if their overall views are racist, discriminatory etc. My stepdad is mid 70s and still used the term “half cast”, again this was one million percent acceptable terminology in the not so distant past and him still using that term doesn’t make him racist.

Hell, I'm 66 and probably what you lads class as the older generation but I don't seem to have any problems about what I should or shouldn't say although I may be wrong!

People who don't pay what they owe you.
Climbed Snowdon a few weeks ago as part of a group and we car pooled to save money, and it's pointless to take loads of extra cars when you don't have to. To get there and back was 3/4 of a tank of petrol in my car (£60) and parking was £25 for the day. I took 3 people in my car so said £20 each covers the cost. Two of the people sent the money no problem within 24 hours, the third person I've messaged 4 times already and they still haven't sent it. Yeah it's only £20, but it's more the principal that annoys me. If someone has taken you on a 6 hour journey and paid for the parking then I'd pay my way rather than dodge it for weeks.

More hate incoming!
GP Receptionists.
My GP has always taken repeat prescription requests via email. Not they're changing it and moving to only taking requests via the NHS App or Patient Access site. Ok, fine. Went on there to request my normal repeat prescription and it's not listed so I can't request it. Emailed the GP surgery and ask how I get the medication added to my list of medications so that I can request it via the new method as instructed. The helpful Sarah from the practice emails back to simply say "We no longer accept requests via email", nothing else. How about you answer the bloody question, Sarah! I asked how I can have the medication listed on the Patient Access App / NHS app so that I could request it that way.
Never mind, at least I can phone them, wait for about an hour in a queue only to be told they don't know.

I had the same issue, on the Patient Access site there is a option to request medication you have previously taken but it's as clear as mud no explanation just a button to press and a box to fill in.
I take medication for stress, PTSD and anxiety which is normally through the roof after i use their website.
edit: You made me curious so i just looked on the site and they have changed the option from other to the more clear Make custom request
