Excellent, I'll need to measure the kitchen space now and see what size it is before purchase as theres three different heights,

Ours is just normal fridge door but theres a kitchen cabinet built above it

Right I see

@TomsFocus getting your ears syringed really isn't too bad, nearly quite pleasant 🤔

 

I've had a big lump of wax removed by a doctor, just hooked out with a crochet hook type of thing and I just about passed out! I presume with the sudden change in pressure on my eardrum. 

 

Syringing, on the other hand, is far easier on you. It's not actually syringed, just rinsed with warm water, not too bad.

@TomsFocus I think the unexpected bleeding happens to all of us. I have a red mark on my shoulder which I believe is caused by my heavy bag I carry. There have been times where I see a mark and wonder how that got there.

I get that too after carrying a bag or lifting something heavy. It looks like the blood vessels burst under the skin. Clears up in less than a day...

@TomsFocus don't feel bad about feeling faint after cutting yourself - I nearly passed out when the doctor took blood last year, and I also ended up lying on the kitchen floor with my wife and daughter coming to the rescue after I sliced into my finger with a really sharp knife when trying to chop an onion

Also don't like that my fridge at home is leaking air, the back of it has cracked as I poured so hot water down the hole.

As a temporary measure couldn't you use outdoor sealant to plug the gap for the time being?

That really is funny as on my birthday I was using a bread knife to cut an onion and the knife went quickly through the onion and I moved the knife back and forth without realising I was cutting into my finger. I just was staring at the cut whilst my mum was doing something and for the first time I noticed I started feeling dizzy and I was loosing vision. I quickly went upstairs and got my alka settler bottle as my stomach began to get bloated. When I told my mum about it she said that's signs of fainting. She then kept saying that my sister is stronger than me 🤣. Found it a scary and odd experience as I see a lot of blood when I play games. 

I don’t like the sight of blood either, and apparently my dad fainted on the first day of his medical course so I guess it runs in the family! I’ve been cooped up indoors last 2 days with flu, which is bad as I’m supposed to be preparing for an assessment on Wednesday and I’ve got bad cabin fever now as well!

This was a shocking one. Most people were talking about one particular driver who had 3 clips on there. Would like to get your thoughts on who it is. One of his clips is at the end and that was shocking.

Looks alot like a Traveller, Tinker or whatever you guys like to call them, I've saw them carry on like that among each other on the roads over here,

Generally very isolated, theres a group settled in a house down the road from us and I've saw them smashing each other's cars as well as boxing on the road in a crowd of 15 or 20 

Hitler had the right idea but the wrong people is all I can say.

The fridge is staying on longer so the freezer is on overtime 

The FF ones no longer have shelves to ice up.  I made the mistake of not checking when I bought mine in 2015, just assumed they were all FF nowadays!  Mine looks like yours roughly every 6 months!   I don't mind the defrosting too much, but always end up having to throw away some of the food beforehand and then spend £30 filling it up again afterwards. My Mum & Nan both have frost free ones that have never needed defrosting in a decade or so so that's definitely the way to go nowadays lol!

Even just reading that made me feel nauseous!    I'm really pathetic with anything to do with bodies, especially internals or anything having to come out. 😮 I've read a lot of people get very dizzy from syringing as well so I really am hoping it'll just come out of it's accord, getting water in my ears from a shower is bad enough lol!

I did pass out after having the DPT injection back in high school...was already scared of needles so that didn't help.    Caused carpet burn across my face and had back and neck pain for days.  Could've been worse though, I was standing next to a Victorian cast iron radiator which I just narrowly missed lol!  I should really have blood tests done now  for a few different issues I'm having but there's absolutely no chance of that so I'll just put up with them lol.

Games are weird though, like you can tell it's not real...  I can't watch any gory films and especially no Hospital type programmes on TV!

It does seem to be more guys than girls affected by blood.  I can't really understand why though...  I get a major nose bleed at least once a month so I don't think the cycle they have to go through can explain it.  And after all, most of our male ancestors would've probably fought in wars over the last hundred years or so so I can't see it being hereditary either.  Very odd! 😮 

Car is filthy. Hasn't been cleaned since new years and haven't had time 😢. Hopefully after 2 weeks will be free then to clean it

Yeah, I last cleaned mine properly 2 months ago. It had a quick pressure wash and full interior clean a month ago, but next Sunday I'm going to try and find time to get the snow foam and wax out and do a proper job on it.

I don't like our Blu-ray player releasing the magic smoke this evening! 

 

Ok, it's a few years old but it's not been used much 🙄

Maybe we're all becoming a much more jolly bunch with no need to post in a Don't Like thread...

Or maybe not.  

@Lenny I don't like my shrimps picking on my hand 😂. It's like a pins and needle feeling. Sometimes I see these little things on the glass which I believe are parasites. Tried taking one out but it fell to the bottom. Should of squashed it to kill it first.

You could extract the parasites with a large pipette or Turkey baster, squashing it may release toxins as a sort of natural defense weapon

I don't think I have. Yesterday was in uni for a seminar and a feedback session. During the feedback session I waited over an hour to see my teacher. Funny thing is hardly anyone comes in on Mondays as this module has no exams however there's just a group poster assignment. As soon as the teacher emails about a feedback drop in session for yesterday and next Monday people come in. 

2 of my friends I normally talk to didnt come in however was talking to other friends however are more interested talking to their 'main' friends. After they went I sat in the room for an hour by myself waiting till less people come to the teacher. Actually started to feel a little depressed looking at people with their friends and I'm by myself 😟. I've noticed in uni there's a lot more international students who normally like to hang around each other. Doesn't help also from my past experience liking someone and not seeing them now which has made me intolerable to seeing one guy sitting with several girls type of thing 😂. A mistake I made was I didn't queue up in the beginning also. Honestly happy just staying home and not seeing indecency when I go out or feeling alone.
