Oh it's a horrible state to be in. I've never forgotten where I lived but I have been awful grateful for the kindness of strangers on two occasions back in the day.

Did she have a key to get in to her apartment? She probably fell asleep on the corridor and then made her way to her own place.

Next door told me that she was trying to get into hers as well, that she ended up calling the guards cos she was frightened for the kids when the woman striped off. Key was in her pocket.

Oh good. I'd say she was in a heap the next day.
Shudder.

No doubt. I think she has an addiction issue, and I have no idea whether to reach out or leave her to it.

As misanthropic as it sounds, I would not involve myself. Unfortunately, you can't help, and you're inviting a world of misery and exploitative sob stories into your life if you do.

A week later they still hadn't posted it. When I contacted them, they organised for a store to post it out, which they did. But somehow, An Post couldn't find my address (not like I've lived here for 25 years or anything!) and sent it back. I suspect DID didn't use the full address, and so An Post tried to deliver it to a street with the same name in the city nearest to me, rather than the town I actually live in, which has happened with couriers before

Now to get it re-delivered, DID had to create a new order, because for some reason they couldn't just re-send the same one, so that's caused another delay. Not that they informed me of this or anything, again I had to get in contact with them to discover all of this

So two weeks since my initial order, we're right back at square one, waiting for it to be dispatched

I've passed by an actual DID twice since I ordered it, so much for the 'convenience' of home delivery

I so agree, and then some idiots don't dim their lights approaching

Quote:Film fans in China noticed over the weekend that a version of the movie Fight Club newly available on streaming platform Tencent Video was given a makeover that transforms the anarchist, anti-capitalist message that made the film a global hit.

In the closing scenes of the original, Norton's character The Narrator, kills off his imaginary alter ego Tyler Durden - played by Pitt - and then watches multiple buildings explode, suggesting his character's plan to bring down modern civilisation is underway.

But the new version in China has a very different take.

The Narrator still proceeds with killing off Durden, but the exploding building scene is replaced with a black screen and a coda: "The police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding".

And what is also dangerous and frustrating is when they do use them but wrongly. Someone indicates that they are getting off a roundabout for example and they stay on it. I've had a few close calls with that so I don't trust indicators on a roundabout anymore, I won't start to pull out until I actually see the other car making the turn.
