Watched: The most hated man on the Internet over the last couple of days. A couple of points. Charlotte Laws didn't bring him or his site down. James McGibney, for all his IT skills, purchased the domain and site, thus stopping Hunter Moore's activities for a while; the FBI actually brought him down. youtube.com/watch?v=ySFpxEdKxMโ€ฆ

I enjoyed it on a documentary level. But I'm one of those PITA's who picks holes in things. For example, The Butt hole girl who starts out telling us she was a victim and then shoots herself in the foot by later on saying she thought it would promote her porn!!

TBH, I had the same feeling over the Jeffery Epstein Netflix documentary. A couple of the victims effectively admitted they pimped underage girls for him. I was like: "So why have you not been arrested?"

I'm getting tired of companies jumping on the bandwagon of price increases when for their business model, there is no need.

in reply to Shredni Vashtar

When companies like Amazon and Mcdonald's put their prices up, you know they're taking the piss.


NEVER get rid of contact details; you never know when they might come in handy, even ten years down the line. "I know someone who works there!"

The boss has gone down to one of our customers in Rainham today. Had I known, I would have asked if I could tag along as a "skive" day and got him to drive to my grandparent's old house and my very first home.

Funny you should say that. There was a distinct pause when she said she would pay it immediately if it was acceptable. Probably wrong, but it honestly felt like an "Is that enough?" kind of pause.

It's only coz I made an official complaint to my bank this morning and when the nice young lady said: "I look forward to speaking with you later." and I responded: "Ah, you're only saying that because I didn't rant and rave at you."
For some reason, she burst out laughing? Nervous tension, I suspect?

Have a care for 1st line support; they put up with this shit every day, where TBH, the answer is to scream down the phone: "FOOK OFF!" but of course, they can't.

We're currently at 37C; given I grew up "Down saarf" I'm used to temperatures five degrees warmer than up here. They're all moaning like mad in the office, but I suspect the real reason is that the bosses won't let them go home. :-D
