Royal Mail/DVLA question. I sent my provisional licence via Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For 9 days ago to claim a test pass (certificate was in the envelope as well). I was told it should arrive at the DVLA the next day ("we aim to deliver the next working day'). Is 9 or 10 days too early to consider it lost? I had been reading that you have to wait 15 days before you can report it as lost, but should I cancel the cheque and resend? Or just wait the full 15 days? I'm aware losing the test pass certificate probably doesn't matter since my pass must be recorded but is this a problem?

Anyone that's had this happen to them let me know...

Also anyone had any experience with Arnold Clark? Heard rumours they don't service properly... And a whole list of other general crap.

Oh also would it be cool if you pm'd me the doc I shouldn't go to at Garthdee/the one who helped you most? Already been having a million problems, would like to avoid, haha. It's ok if you don't feel comfortable naming them though lol.

Whinhill is too far away from me, don't think I'm in the catchment area. Woodside I have no idea where it is but I'll check it out. Garthdee sounds like a plan! Don't think I'm in the area but will be at RGU from September, so I guess that could work - hopefully they'll let me join in advance. Slutbags, do you know what the Torry one is like? That would be convenient for me also...

does anyone know of any good GPs/surgeries they could recommend? having a bad time atm with the ones i go to and need shit sorted!

Aw, they do know where I live though. They asked.

I hate waiting.

If an employer shakes your hand after an interview and says "see you soon"... What does that mean? Will they see me soon or is it said out of habit?

Will pay a little over face value, but nothing ridiculous. Need these ASAP.

Anyone?!

Oh cool, thank you. Checked a bit out, not too fond of the vocals but it'll grow on me I think after more listening.

If you leave the Shit Flakes in the bowl overnight it turns the milk chocolatey.

"Shit city for bands."

As in it's a shit city for bands to progress in or the city is full of shit bands?

If it's the latter then feel free to leave, no one's keeping you here.

Who said it'd be flakes.

"Please don't get into..." and "If anyone mentions..." do not mean I've accused anyone of saying something if that's what you mean. Not looking for an argument here dude, just voiced my opinion because folk are often allowed to get away with this sort of shit and I fully support the girl in opening up about this online.

I dont think anyone has said any of what you've just posted, not in the mannor you seem to be suggesting.

I don't understand... The article was about the lead singer of the band getting rapey messages online and one user mentioned that she should just ignore it. I responded. Then one user asked if anyone had a similar experience and I stated what I would do if it happened and that I hope it never does, because it's something that has to be stopped before it progresses.

If a man ever made a sexist remark, or worse threat, against me while on stage I would pause, then proceed to point that little cowardly shit out to the entire venue and even if I didn't get him thrown out he'd feel more uncomfortable than I ever did in the first place. We have to make these sick people known, how dare anyone even say this girl should keep quiet about it or is using it for attention. I hope it never happens to me because they may actually leave the show with no teeth.

Doesn't matter whether it's a male threatening a female, a male threatening another male, a female threatening a male or a female threatening another female, those comments/threats are fucking wrong on many and varying levels. Guaranteed if one of those anons were to face her offline, they wouldn't say or do any of those things. Well, there is the odd chance you'd get some stalker who would try but generally they're using the internet to voice their own frustrations in life. Please don't get into, "men are usually naturally physically stronger" and other bullshit like that, I've heard it all before.

The only reason she can't just ignore it is because she's a public figure and I'm assuming these nut jobs know where she lives - she can't risk them actually showing up at her house so has to make it known in case the Police need evidence of when it started in the future. Why is there even a debate about whether she should have told anyone? She shouldn't have to put up with that just like any other woman or man shouldn't. Joke or not, if she feels uncomfortable and afraid for her safety it has to stop. End of.

One more thing, if anyone mentions the fact she may have done something to initiate the remarks, you can fuck right off.

Looking for bands that have that weird 'out there' vibe. Style doesn't matter. Possibly anything strange lyrics-wise. Bouncy funky bass, etc is a plus. Just anything.

Anyone have any suggestions?

This is my pet hate. People (women generally) who don't put the whole thing down. Lazy bastards moan like fuck if a bloke doesn't put the seat down but they don't do the civil thing and put the lid down before flushing. The lid has clearly been put there for a reason - to stop any splash/germs etc getting out when you flush.

I thought I was the only person in the world who actually put the lid down.

Back to ca_gere's post - I wouldn't be offended. The vast majority of guys don't actually have any toilet etiquette. The condition I sometimes find the toilet at work in is shocking. I'm not just talking about a wee bit of pish on the seat or the floor either. I once found that someone had shaken the drips far too vigorously and it was all over the top of the fucking cistern. Unbelievable. I work in the office of an oil company - supposedly surrounded by 'professionals'. Savages more like.

I hate this. Do some not understand the lid stops particles flying up onto your toothbrush and such? I don't like unhygienic people in general. That sounds revolting.

Hi, what style are you guys playing/who've you got so far?

I really like the band SOiL.

Seriously dude get it checked out and take the wire out yourself if you haven't already, you don't want fucked up gums.

These things happen when your braces are fitted by Dr. Bullshit, c/o The Fictitious Dentistry Co., Parts Unknown.

I almost got mine fitted by a dentist who hadn't had any cases before me. Lol, it happens. Needless to say I got referred to an actual clinic...

I posted another thing before ca_gere mentioning something that Heisenberg did. It wouldn't let me edit so I deleted it.

I'm in fucking agony, came to brush my teeth and my gums are now bleeding like fuck my wire on my brace is snapping off and my gums are cut to shit aswell and to finish it I just stood on a guitar string

You're not meant to use guitar strings instead of brace wires... Anyway wtf did you eat, a brick?! They don't snap unless you suck too much schlong.

I can understand your cheeks being cut but fucking hell your gums, is your ortho on acid..? What are your braces doing anywhere near your gums? Sorry to break it to you but your gums should not be bleeding, cheeks can if the wire hasn't been trimmed at the ends but that's about it. Brackets would have snapped off way before anything happened to those wires.

It wouldn't let me, so again: I don't know what to do with myself now that I've finished Breaking Bad. I can't wait for the Saul spinoff.
