Electric screwdriver from Lidl (well, it was less than £20) - as a DIY novice/flat pack builder, it changed my life

United Kingdom, Dorset.

My 3 year old daughter was vomiting and not keeping liquids down. Phoned the non-emergency line and after a bit of a wait, spoke to them and went through the script.

Was told to go to A&E and we would be expected. After a short wait there, was led down to the children's ward and she was given a bed in her own room. She was put on a drip, had antibiotics and kept in overnight. By the end of the following day she was able to keep down water and some toast so was discharged.

Had a follow on call from a GP the next day, she was back to normal in a couple of days.

I'll have to give it another try - Megalodon is my current favourite

Eating like they've got Universal Healthcare!

Has oodles of free tools for Judges; 0-level character creators, grimoire generators and their Crawler html app is so useful at the tabletop

Yes I think we got lucky with the room, perhaps it was just a quiet period

Hello! I grew up on Portland, so perhaps it is very regional. I think we used the term specifically for the large black kind that roll up, the other brown/grey ones that don't we called Wood Lice too!

It got too close to the truth!
