    Yup just got an amazing job and now speeding tickets are coming to haunt me and screw everything up, 96 in a 70 at 00:11 in the morning, now I’d honestly be less depressed if I could remember what I was doing and actually was the one driving but my memory is screwed.

    so far I’ve checked photos, message logs, location logs, navigation logs, and everything else and for the life of me can’t remember why I would have been there at that time. Like surely I still use the sat nav for going to the dentist and know the route off by heart so what the heck was I doing there at that time??? It makes no sense!

    Sounds like your numberplate was cloned, have they sent you pictures of the vehicle? Is it actually the same trim etc?

    Absolutely looks like the car and trim unfortunately, even has the special badge from bmw which are hard to find from the photos, I just can’t for the life of me remember why I was in the area.

    HWinfo can't see any device info other than the name. Adrenaline won't load stating incompatibility with my AMD graphics device.

    I believe it may be shagged.

    Yeah, looks like my 9070 XT - just breaking out a spare machine to verify, but a different card in the same rig is working just dandy.

    Powercolor. Yeah - I'll just have to RMA it.

    The annoying thing is the effort I've had to go to, just get enough parts together to test the bloody thing on another rig - just moved house and everything is in a wall of boxes in the dining room; or still in the garage at the old house.

    I fully understand mate, we've been renting a good while now looking for a place to buy and there's so many boxes stuffed away that I'd have to move again to know what's actually in them.

    Pain in the backside.

    Dave, that's a right pain all round.
    Hope the RMA goes well

    I am struggling. Have been for a couple of weeks. Later this afternoon at physio or tomorrow on a call with the consultant, I find out if I need another op on my shoulder. I think I have some sort of PTSD from the hernia shenanigans, and anything medical like this I just go into meltdown and makes me absolutely petrified. My brain is frazzled, I'm struggling to breath normally, can't focus on work, or anything, almost at the point of curling into a ball and not moving.

    This is ****ing hell. I have been a guest of the nhs on so many occasions, my frequent flying milage would probably get me to Neptune. Before the hernias I'd had 4 operations, God knows how many a&e visits (I can still remember my hospital number for cov&Warwick, a hospital that no longer exists), for me it was normality, a matter of course,. Now I can't bare it. Any minor niggle is the end of the world, I don't want to go docs, I hate having to go to a hospital, I'd rather have a root canal on all remaining teeth. It has probably damaged me way more mentally than physically, and physically I have to take drugs that would turn a healthy person into a gurning wreck.

    Still so angry that dickhead got away with it, that I was screwed out of an iron-clad case by an "expert witness" who was only interested in a repeat booking. I'm left to pick up the pieces, and then have Mrs crap pick me up when I can't hold on any longer. I just want to be normal.

    Blood pressure. Never been an issue before but I'm getting older, fatter, and lazy. Time to do something about it I guess!

    Blummin hell mate, let us know how it goes.

    You don't need to be made to get to know all the NHS staff on a first name basis again.

    I don’t want to hit like cos it’s not a topic to ‘like’ - I know how trauma like this can hit a person though. I often feel worse about my own mental health because of the whole macho ******** I was raised with. The man provides. The man looks after his household. The man goes to work to bring home the bacon. The man cannot cry. When the man is sick he’s just being a big baby.

    It’s really hard reconciling that with the truth that we are just as easily broken and need just as much time and support as anyone would, and that sometimes things are just really hard to face. You will muddle through somehow and that’s all you can ask of yourself.

    Call with the consultant this afternoon was not very productive. Confirmed torn labrum, radiologist suggests this was what I had repaired before, but I would have sworn blind it was rotator cuff, maybe it was both? Either way, he's not deciding anything, other that to refer me to a shoulder specialist, so I can wait even longer for someone to tell me I need an op. Shoulder has been killing since physio yesterday, can still feel it moving funny, this ain't going away quietly.

    This is a large why I help run a men's mental health charity here in Aus.

    Having a "third place" has really helped the guys in our 3000+ community really open up about what they're struggling with in a non-judgemental space. It's sadly not often you'll see a man cry, let alone open up online to people would never know otherwise that they have cried and why.

    Bin truck threw our recycling all over the street last night, and it's the one fortnight we've had a load of glass in there. Nothing like sweeping a busy street during rush hour.
