Hard workers of the UK I need your help. My partner complains of foot pain allllll the time after work. For context he's on his feet maybe 8 out a 9hr day in a fairly small warehouse mixed wood and concrete flooring. He needs steel toes although not mandatory he moves heavy crates often. His request was sturdy laces as he somehow tears and frays these, no idea how. not leather against my arguments and under £60, again I told him this was silly and the reason they last less than a year. Buy good bug once and all.

He gets a lift in n 2 out of 5 days and the rest involve a combined 1hr walk to and from train stations commuting

So posties, amazon hero's, shelf stackers and all you other wonderful lot who keep this country going let me hear your shoe recommendations, give me brands,types, materials etc

I've tried pushing him down the army navy surplus route but his aversion to leather shoes is preventing much movement there.

Any advice greatly appreciated much love

So an ambulance pulled up next to my neighbours house at speed. Banging on the door shining lights in and shouting through the letter box. They asked how well in new here which isn't very much tbh and they continued shouting a bit then started to loiter

Next a fire truck pulled up and after some harder banging whacked a ladder up against the window and shone the brightest torch ive ever seen in my life through some windows

Now they both seem to have left. My assumption would have been wait for the police who can presumabky kick a door in if they think it's a life and death situation. Do you think the firemen assessed as an empty flat or what? Seems all round strange to me

So I have a neurology appointment on Friday and have been taking lamotrigine 100 mg twice daily for a year and a half. in the last year I’ve had one very minor seizure which I think was probably a TC but lasted just a couple of seconds and I was still upright on the sofa when it finished postictal for a short while but nothing serious. I appreciate the low severity is probably due to the to medication, but the side-effects of this medicine have been pretty hard on me and I’m really keen to get it reduced where possible. not necessarily moved to something else,just maybe half it slowly and see how it goes. I

It makes me feel Empty like I can’t look forward to anything or get excited for anything. It gives me quite bad agoraphobia where I just going outside seems overwhelming. the brain fog that everyone talks about has rendered me basically unemployable and I don’t know if it’s the seizures from back when I had them all the medicine since, but I just feel like I’ve ruined my life completely. I’m not who I was before. And I really miss who I was before. I was motivated and felt capable now I just feel like a depressive mess

so yeah, I don’t think it’s really the right place to ask I guess but has anyone had any experience? Reverse titrating their AEDs after a year no seizures bearing in bout of them that started this when I was in my early 30s was the first time I’ve ever had them as well, so maybe it was just a rough patch?

Thank you in advance for any answers

So I need to get a bike from wallsend to airport tomorrow around 11am. I know this isn’t permitted during any kind of peak hours but given the fact it’s princely going to be empty tomorrow what do you think my chances few of going via monument or am I going to have to go up as around South gosforth For clarity it’s Joe a folding or e bike

Basically two quick questions. Firstly for context I was diagnosed with epilepsy last year and understand that I should have contacted the dvla pretty quickly.

However I was pretty seriously injured during the seizure and then struggled with the side effects of the medicine pretty much ruining my memory and functioning. i only have a provisonal licence and save for a few driving lessons a few years ago I've never driven nor tried to.

1- How much trouble will I be in for not notifying them for almost a full year? Gov UK says possible £1000 fine which would financially ruin me.

2- I would ideally like to keep the provisonal as a form of ID. A long shot but is there a way to keep the physical licence but have the dvla record that it is not valid?

Apparently my 30 year old face is not enough to convince shop staff I'm not 15 trying to buy a bottle of wine every few months. Thanks in advance

Pretty much as stated in the title. I have a fair few medical conditions because I won the genetic crap lottery. I see that ozempic and a few other medicines can be given as a "depot" that lasts a week or longer meanwhile I'm over here with 8 alarms a day in my phone for random pills
