Self-service checkouts that don’t accept your coins. You end up asking for assistance so what’s the point in it being self-service in the first place?

Oft-times those bally things are no quicker anyway...

Medication-resistance (big-ting, still), especially when the medicine once worked. The likes of propranolol and lymecycline do nothing for me now. Not a discernible thing.

…what were you prescribed the Propranolol for, Redway…that’s cool if it’s too personal a question….but it can be prescribed for multiple things so I was interested as to what you’re feeling it isn’t so effective with …but yeah, obviously we can build up resistances as well and long term taking of a particular medication can cause negative impacts as well…which is one of the reasons for regular reviews, obviously…

I’ll tell ya over PM but it’s for the same thing I used it for 11-ish years ago. It worked then but my body’s just outgrown it.

Someone said to me once that people who sweat a lot (like me; my hyperhidrosis is a mad ting) could benefit from propranolol but I think that’s only in the case whose excessive sweating is, like, a peripheral manifestation of anxiety. For people with primary hyperhidrosis (like moi), beta blockers don’t seem to be the answer. Atenolol (another beta-blocker), again, did nothing for me in the sweat-department, but then I only took so much of that. Maybe if I was on the maximum dose or something closer to it I would’ve benefited from it in that regard but if propranolol didn’t work, I don’t see how atenolol would. There’s a beta-blockers called pindolol which, for various reasons, seems like it would suit me a lot better than either of the other two beta-blockers but it’s scarcely available in the UK. That’s my problem.

….yeah, I asked because I’ve also taken Propranolol…(…for migraine prevention…)…and I know that it can be prescribed for multiple things…I also know that anxiety is something else it can be prescribed for and as you say, there are physical symptoms displayed with anxiety but that doesn’t apply to you…beta blocker type medication is pretty heavy duty medication in general, though…I’m guessing and thinking that you have tried alternative therapies etc…anyways, I asked because I was familiar with the medication itself and many of it’s prescribed uses but I won’t discuss anything medical further…apologies for that…

People who talk loudly/make loud ’phone-calls in coffee-shops, places that are supposed to be relatively quiet. Urgh.

…especially when you reply to them and then realise that they weren’t talking to you…?….

I may have said this before but the fact that the nearest Waitrose as far as Liverpool’s concerned is in Chester is really, really annoying. Gateacre’s an affluent enough area and yet in place of what should’ve been a Waitrose is an Aldi. Not a bad Aldi by any means but I guarantee you the average person from the posh parts of south Liverpool (Woolton, Childwall, Gateacre, Mossley Hill, Allerton, Grassendale, certain parts of Halewood) is more Waitrose-than-Aldi-inclined. If there was a Waitrose in one of those areas, it could quietly become a community-touchstone for local idealists, foodies and discerning introverts, whenever they can afford it.

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced that, tbh, but I’m sure that would be super-awkward.

Lol, it’s definitely not just a you-thang. I know it happens.

I’ve never heard of “happiest of birthdays” but I prefer it to ‘happy birthday’ as that phrase just annoys me as there’s rarely any emotion attached to it .., especially said the day after
