This storyline with Megan is so important to tell, don’t get me wrong. But he seems to have two different facial expressions and speaks in a monotone. I dunno. Maybe it’s just me. There seemed a lack of emotion throughout his whole relationship with Megan, both him spending time with her being “happy” and being found out/ dealing with the aftermath. Tim coming into it has made it way more watchable, but it kind of showed up how meh the acting is from Will.

Random q im aware.

Edit: Thankyou so much to everyone for your support. I was blaming myself a lot so it’s a relief to hear it wasn’t my fault what happened. I have not yet made a decision but appreciate everyone’s advice.

I’m from Scotland and a couple of days ago I had an experience with a man that’s left me really upset and conflicted about whether I should report it. I appreciate I come across as totally naive here. I am autistic, left school at 15 when moving here and until lately didn’t get out much. Didn’t kiss a boy till mid twenties however I’m 31 now and been with my partner 5 years.

TW this is a long one and I sound like an absolute idiot here.

About six weeks ago I first met this guy at a bus stop near marks and Spencer princes street. He started talking to me jokingly about rubbish on the ground and we got chatting while waiting for the same bus. We got on the bus, he sat in front of me and kept talking. During conversation I mentioned that I was getting a lot of dental work done, and he asked me to put my number in his phone because he said he knew a good dentist he could recommend. I told him no because I had a long-term boyfriend and that’s not something I do. At the time he seemed friendly enough and left it there, but looking back now I honestly think the dentist thing was just an excuse to get my number. He did chat the whole bus ride, asking about my life and bf, reiterating he had only wanted my number for the dental recommendation, but nothing hugely alarming and we both left at the same stop said bye and that was that.

Then a couple of days ago I bumped into him again at the same bus stop in Edinburgh. He recognised me immediately and hugged me first when he saw me. The hug felt friendly and normal enough, so I didn’t think much of it. He mentioned me not giving him my number because of my “jealous boyfriend” -NOT words I used, he just assumed- and I apologised for my bluntness before but again said I just don’t add strange numbers. I was on my phone on Facebook and stupidly agreed he could add me. He genuinely seemed like he just wanted a mate and I have none, and FB isnt as personal as a number. Bad decision I know.

We got on the same bus and chatted in a friendly way (although he did say he’d been keeping an eye out for me in the area we stay in ugh) and I mentioned my boyfriend multiple times and safe topics like my family and my dog. Yes this was partly to make a point. He sat in front of me again and started off normal at first but within half an hour was complimenting me and scrolling through my fb pics calling me beautiful, which made me uncomfortable (I told him to stop as it was embarrassing me and making me uncomfortable) and he did stop. Last twenty mins of bus in silence other than him reiterating he wasnt married which I chose to ignore and changed the subject. When we spoke I was fiddling with my hair and earrings which is a nervous stim I get with new people and worry it looked or seemed flirty. I don’t know.

When we got off the bus I offered a quick goodbye hug (a bro hug nowt intimate) because earlier he’d greeted me with a normal friendly hug. I am an absolute idiot and don’t know why I did it. But when I pulled away he pulled me back, kissed my cheek, then when I pulled away again and told him to stop he pulled me back harder, grabbed near my breast and tried to kiss me on the lips. I said please stop again, and got away from him and in absolute shock walked to the nearest shop. The guy walked alongside me and thankfully carried on walking and didn’t follow me into the shop. I found the security guard who was really kind and offered me to sit there until my partner came to meet me or I got the next bus as the guy was still loitering in the local park (he has told me he sits there on his way back from work). I got home safe after that thankfully. Sadly the security guard checked CCTV and only caught me walking away from the guy looking distressed while he walked after me and didn’t pick up the assault itself. However there were other shops nearby who might have it. I haven’t asked yet.

I am 31, 5 foot 7 and NOT small- and he was quite short and small, but I found it very hard physically to get him off me due to the strength of him being a grown man.

I asked him later what the hell he was playing at and he basically said sorry you’re a friend I was just being friendly.

Since then I’ve felt really upset and violated, but I’m conflicted because part of me feels like maybe I gave mixed signals by chatting and hugging him in the first place. I felt like I had to shower afterwards to get the horrible feeling off me of what he did.

I’m torn about whether this is something worth reporting to the police or whether they’d just see it as a misunderstanding with no evidence. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I have the man’s name and wrote down the time it happened. He also told me where he lived or near enough, next to a bar in local area.

Are staff still able to give out one free item a week, and one every day when the Xmas items are being sold?

Hi
My (31F) teeth have completely decayed, partly due to not brushing enough when I grew up, partly due to methadone. I am now on sugar free methadone and am brushing twice daily for two minutes. However my teeth are done for (I have had to have eighteen out over the past five years) and now I’m looking at dental implants.

Can all on 6 implants be placed if the client is on methadone? Will they reject? I obviously don’t want to spend all that money if the implants will just fall out, but realistically I won’t be off methadone completely for a few years as it’s a slow taper.

I don’t smoke and maybe drink two alcoholic drinks once weekly. I have a compromised immune system and get infections easily.

Thanks

Trigger warning as I know a lot of people on here don’t like those awarded benefits.

I am epileptic, autistic and suffer from depression and was awarded standard daily living and enhanced mobility. I got 0 points for managing toilet needs or incontinence.

My review was two days ago and today I got the forms.

I have since experienced an uptick in seizures which I have mentioned (I have a doctors letter as proof) although I am not expecting to get anything extra for that.

However there is something I didn’t mention first time round and that is when I have a seizure if it’s a bad one I often need to vomit, pee or open bowels and I have to rush to a toilet immediately which can be hard when disorientated. I now have an access card which (among other symbols) has the WC one which means I need immediate toilet access. I didn’t put in loads of info about how someone usually comes with me as I didn’t have the room. I have seizures most weeks however the urgent toilet thing doesn’t always happen every time only a couple of times a month on average.

A couple of examples are when an ambulance came when I fell after a seizure and cracked my nose, they had to put me on the toilet to help me go. A second example is after a seizure I was sick everywhere in a&E and couldn’t make it to the nearby toilet due to disorientation.

I didn’t have unlimited room to write in detail but I have written the above about my toilet issues on my review form online. I am wondering whether I may be awarded a point/ any points for managing toilet needs at all. I didn’t know what date to put it happening so I put the end of last year. It’s something I’ve spoke to my neurologist about however it’s not on my recent letter as they didn’t seem overly concerned.

Would I have a chance of getting any daily living points for this or not? I was in two minds whether to do it to be honest and don’t want my ADP taken off me entirely.

Thanks guys

I got my review letter and used the link on it to report my changes. I’m guessing this means I don’t have to return the paper letter?
