Lord Presents..What Made Your Day + What Ruined Your Day IV

[James90]

Made My Day
- A productive morning of life admin (end of tenancy clean booked, train to Paris booked, hotel in Paris booked, flights to Brisbane booked)
- A clear schedule for Liverpool v Spurs this afternoon

Ruined My Day
- The realisation that my UK visa ends next month and I have to go home
- The daunting reality of going back to real life, and working long hours

 

[Smudge]

It’s true. And not just with regards to driving

Anyway:

Made

Twins’ 18th today. Job done.

 

[Spark]

Made

Had blood pressure problems for like ten years, and then suddenly one day last month there's a weird tingling/burning sensation in my shoulder which lasts about five minutes, and like magic blood pressure has been completely normal ever since, just like that

 

[Burgey]

Isn’t that called a stroke mate?

What explanation have you been given for it?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Queensland drivers are only that bad if they have a Commodore or a Ford Ranger. or if they're old, like over 32.

I hear Victorians are the worst however. Someone please confirm.

QLDers are pretty awful. Never use their indicators or wave when you've let them in/stopped to let them through etc. Drive like maniacs down the M1. Makes you want to barrack for the road toll. But then, they drive just like the sort of entitled ****s who would vote for a Peter Dutton or Scott Morrison, so it makes sense.

Ruined:

Was supposed to fly off to India today to start 2 weeks of annual leave.

Instead I've been sick with food poisoning since Saturday night, and now it seems I won't even be able to recoup any of the cost of the flight that I'm in no shape to take

zzzz

 

[Daemon]

travel insurance?

 

[Spark]

None whatsoever

 

[Burgey]

Well, good outcome anyway mate. Got to be happy with that.

The way Indians drive always makes me feel death is inevitable.

Oh man, I'll never forget being in the back of a tuk-tuk when I first landed in Delhi. Had never been to India before then & it was a real eye-opener.

 

[zorax]

travel insurance?

Has anyone ever had any success with this?

Have always felt insurance to be a bit of a scam. Have sent them an email in any case, let's see what they say.

 

[Burgey]

You shouldn't have any problems if you have a Dr's certificate to say you're too crook to travel without inflicting arse spraying mayhem on the airline and your fellow travelers.

 

[Burgey]

As opposed to the **** you constantly inflict on us via this website.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah, contact them and get a certificate asap that you’re not fit for flying. You might get dicked around on dates if your cert doesn’t cover your flight date, and doctors won’t issue a backdated cert.

Travel insurance is very handy ftr, especially given the value of smartphones these days.

At least you kind of got the Indian experience.

Air travel generally blocks me up (maybe something to do with the air pressure?), so it could actually act as a cure in zorax's case here.

 

[Daemon]

There was an article recently about a man couldn't pee mid-flight because of the air pressure(?) and his bladder was on the verge of bursting.

A doctor onboard had to stick a makeshift straw or something in it and suck it out lol.

 

[Burgey]

“lol”

I'd suggest getting a bowel screening kit and sending the insurance company a sample.

They should've got the air hostesses to disarm him.
