Nearly had our side taken out by @AmazonUK lorry GL64 ENM. Stationary traffic, he wanted to pull across into our lane so decided to do so regardless of us literally sat next to him. Stupid driving and dangerous; not sure if drunk or a bully. Thank god mum's got good reactions.

@True_Pordgy Please do. Genuinely!
And let us never forget the topic that got us back in touch 😂
English
@BE_Chadburn It was a classic case of one bird, two stones! Wait...
Hell yeah! Let's get it done! I'll drop you a DM soon ^_^

Will have to wait until after the weekend to play this but I am rather excited!

Mask of the Rose is out now on Steam, GOG and Nintendo Switch! Lose your heart to a stolen city. Solve a murder with the help of the victim. Find love, in any form you like. Or sack all of that off in favour of discovering the origins of the tentacle in the basement.

@True_Pordgy There was something in the air today apparently (quite literally!). Got cleaned up with no long term harm to anything except my makeup. Yours sounds like a worse experience, actually.
On a different note, would really love to catch up some time!

@BE_Chadburn Nor was cleaning the trail of bird poop suspiciously leading to, and subsequently on, my toilet on my own to-do list today, but birds be dropping that air-superiority :') Hope you found a way to get cleaned up!
English
@tomasstanger It's the unknown as well, at least in my case! Break a leg for whenever your review is though.
As for viva, yep, nervous about that one this end too!
English
@tomasstanger Joking aside, annual reviews aren't such a heavy thing - more to check things are going well. I'm guessing we're at different universities but if you want to chat anything through feel free to drop me a line.
English
@tomasstanger Don't get too confident... Mine was via Teams too. These birds plot and find a way!

@ferry_swainson My family found it utterly hilarious. Annual review was good, thankfully, thank you. Presume you have one coming up/just had one too?
English
@BE_Chadburn Oh no! How awful! Hope, at least, it was a good omen for your AR...
English
@ferry_swainson It's when you see improvements five minutes after submission you need to worry!
English
Not sure whether to be delighted or embarrassed that, in looking at a draft I submitted six months ago, I see how I could now write it better.

@shaunpotts Oh I am so pleased! Look like good seats after all that! Service fees are high for the messy service mind 😂
English
@wembleystadium just wanting to know is the Disabled access line live? I called dead on 9am as instructed and it’s just straight in to hold music but there’s been no clarification in the last 11 minutes that I’m even in a queue 😂😂
English
@shaunpotts I wish I could say "I can't believe this!" but somehow I'm not surprised. Disgusted but not surprised. Hopefully it's sorted promptly so you can just look forward to the event with no more stress.
English
@BE_Chadburn I’ve got the email with the £395 worth of tickets and they say ambulant. I’ve emailed. Phoned a random support and they put me in to the queue so I’ve avoided the wait to get in to the queue. Now I’m just stressing like mad.
English
@shaunpotts Between block 110 and 111 from what she said on the phone. Think the invoice says 111. Around there anyway!
Please tell me you've got through?
English
@BE_Chadburn I’m in the queue now on both phones atleast. Where did you manage to get?
