I'm currently 3/6 and I genuinely don't know what this word could be, I accidentally saw your spoilers and that's made me even more confused. I've got 3 of the letters in the wrong order, but I can't figure out how to put them in the right order.

I was in the same place as you at 3/6. Definitely a nasty one.

Same but to be fair, it's the American spelling!

I've written to my MP and the Queen about this, that sort of thing just isn't on.

I got it in the end, I got

ADIEU
BLOAT
MORAY
RADON

Then I'm like ok so it's XAXOR. I could not think of any words for ages that have an American spelling before going with Savor as that was the only thing I could think of, then AVOR was right and I got it in the end lol.

Done a thread for it: t:wordle---a-free-daily-word-game?f=2

Or we can just see if we can get Victor to combust spontaneously. Either's good.

I went to order my repeat prescription online only to be told I couldn't because I needed to speak to my GP to review my medication. Fine. I phone up and explain that the website told me I needed to speak to a doctor to authorise my medication, the earliest pre-bookable appointment is in 3 weeks but I can try phoning first thing the next day for a same day appointment. Fine. I get up early, spend 45 minutes trying to get through, losing all hope that I'll actually get to speak to my own GP. I get through and the receptionist said "oh, you don't need to speak to a GP, I can just authorise that for you". I'm grateful and everything but why couldn't they have just done that the day before when I called?


I've had similar issues with prescriptions, possiby the same GP practice actually as you're in the Chesterfield area too.


Yeah, sounds like it could be. I get that actual appointments are difficult during a pandemic but we shouldn't get the run around on just trying to sort medication.

I was hoping the additional royal bank holiday wouldn't affect me with my reduced timetable at work. Nope, the extra long bank holiday means I have to pay back the hours.

strawberry floating skaffies again.

Clanging and scraping the pipes by lobbing them into the truck while guffawing bollocks with the radio on full blast together with one of those boomboxes.

Enveloping sound, because sound travels and it's impossible to determine words or anything else from whatever radio 1 or dance anthem bollocks it is, all you can hear through the ground floor of the house is indistinct warbley bass noise of talk radio. Like strawberry float are they listening to it. It's transmitted through the tires. Music wouldn't be as bad, but even that is generic thumping shite.

I appreciate I am autistic but after hours this shite feels like being repeatedly stabbed in the brain.

So I confront them from my door. Please turn down the radio and/or the Makita boombox (specifically pointing to it) as its all I can hear. The bass travels and you can't hear the music anyway because it's inside the strawberry floating truck, not outside.

(the solution isn't to turn up the radio so it goes THROUGH the steel plating of the truck, its to use some strawberry floating headphones or something isn't it??)

"alright mate. we're working mate"
[unintelligible muttering]

Please can you turn the radio down.

"Were WORKING mate."
"It's metal" (as if this fixes all such grievances)

I know it's metal. I'm not talking about the scaffolding, but the radio, which is so loud, and yet you still can't make anything out.

"we're WORKING"

"working from home??" [sarcastically ie you aren't working as hard as us, typical presumptuous banana split, that is]

I'm working just as hard as you are.

I know it's metal, but that's not inseparable from doing your job, is it? Do you have to have the radio on?

"we're working".

"alright mate have a good day bye" (sarcastically)

They did piss off to be fair, they might not be able to consider the people living by their site but their employers likely would if I called them.

Thank strawberry float it's going down. I could do without the anxiety.

The scaffolding work has been up there for 3 months and I've only just thought strawberry float it. I don't want to make these guy's lives miserable. But it's not Ibeza. Shut the strawberry float up, you don't have to willingly add to the noise, do you? It's not a requirement of the job to park a truck with the radio on full blast for 3 hours continously outside several people's homes.

The insinuation I'm not working or that having the radio on that loud is the devine right of any proper tradesman and an important component of the work we do is extremely annoying.

I felt I could mention autism but they'd probably just joke about how I'm retarded or don't look disabled and should piss off.

Carrying out works within communities that people live should have their wellbeing as an important part considering the environment in which you work, and others. banana splits.

It's alright, I murdered them by words with a 3 star review pointing out that some people have sound sensitivities and don't have a choice, while they do.

"I am certain the scaffolding is erected to a high standard, as I have seen it for months and it has not fallen down."

I'm quite proud of starting on a positive there.

It's quite a common problem, there are rules here about scaffolding during stupid hours like 7am and Sundays. But you don't have to add to an already noisy job if you can avoid it. That's just inconsiderate.

Time to move on with my life now, already have a headache.

Nah spreadsheets are below me. Barely touch the strawberry floating things.

I pay 10x the Excel license cost yearly for fancy cloud things. I'm not being fleeced. Definitely not.
