This afternoon I spent some time "Breaking Boxes Down" and putting them in the recycle bin. It should look good on my CV when applying to the local supermarket for a job if it all goes pear-shaped here.
I just got it paid into my account last time I got a rebate. My wife got a cheque a few years ago when they had taxed her twice for the same year because the company she worked for changed name.
You know when you see a post on Twitter, and you think: "Hang on? That's not right?" but you keep your trap shut because you know you're gonna get a shitstorm hurled at you. I had one of those moments earlier; gone are the days when I wouldn't care and reply. 😞
Are you one of those who refuse to give your email address when the assistant asks: "Would you like an eRecipt?" This morning I needed the receipt for a purchase I made a few days ago, I couldn't find it. Luckily I had given my email address and there was an alternative to the paper one I had lost. Phew!
We went shopping on the weekend and every store we visited wanted my email address for a receipt. I like this idea, because I’ve created a ‘Receipt’ folder and everything goes there. It’s a much easier way to store and find receipts.
However, I’ve now started to receive marketing emails from this places because I’ve now apparently joined their clubs. I think the use of your email address should be clarified when taking it as part of a purchase.
Yep. Ultimately it's about gaining your email address to add you to their mailing list. GDPR was actually a godsend to marketers (such as myself) in that by freely handing over your address, you are accepting the companies right to email you. The thing is, how hard is it to hit the "Delete" button? I will never understand how people can get so pathetically angry over unsolicited emails. It's almost like their pretending annoyance in the hope of some pats on the back from their peers.
Sounds like a lot of work. I have on numerous occasions said: "Na, you're OK." but I think from now on I shall hand my address over. If, as @Alan says, you create a folder and a filter in your email client any marketing material will go in there and housekeeping that should be simple.
Immigration is a thorny issue, as we can see in the UK. Whatever you do is criticised by one group or another, and it is used all by sorts of right wing groups to stir up insecurity and hatred.
It's not just immigration. Lots of the policies we saw people frothing at the mouth over when Trump was in power are not only still in force but in some cases enhanced. I get the feeling it's that old game of 'deniability' "We never did it! It was Trump." or the other favourite "Ah, this is something we inherited from the Trump administration and is very difficult to reverse now." Yeah, right.
So I know some of you dislike 123 Reg, but I have to say their implementation of a fraudulent email reporting service deserves a pat on the back. At least they're taking responsibility for scams perpetuated in their name. Most organizations tell you it's not their problem and to report it to a government body. http://mail.123emailmarketing.co.uk/l/c.php?c=40641&ct=23435639&si=66685558
So I've been hanging around TikTok for the last week or so and I have to say, it's pretty crap which amazes me that it's so popular? It's full of wannabes talking directly to the camera with way too loud shit background music and trying way too hard to get noticed.
In my occupation we have some screws that we order that we need to do some jobs. They are phillips head and bugle shaped. In most catalogues they are called "Phil Bugle" screws. I always thought that Phil Bugle sounded like some sort of frilly shirted pirate for some reason.
Anyway, to make a long pointless point even longer for some reason, I think Phil Bugle would make a cool online pseudonym.
For once, I agreed with a @BBCBreakfast news report this morning; People holidaying in the UK are set to spend 30 Billion that's 30 Billion towards the UK economy rather than Ibiza or some other package holiday destination.
Oi @steevc give me £1,431.24, so I can run a #hive node.

Given all the excitement to sell camper vans like hotcakes, upgrading your campsite to include glamping I wonder whether Butlins Filey will reopen? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butlin%27s_Filey it'll all end in tears in 2 years time when all the punters go back to flying off to Ibiza.

It didn't take long to get back into the routine of working from the office. Two days running, I've visited the newsagents down the road for snacks. #NoLongerWFH
its amazing how in the last 10 years society has silently and successfully reorganized itself around the new, but inarguably supreme core value of 'winning an argument on the internet'
I wonder if Mark Shuttleworth is sitting in his mansion looking at the reports on Jeff Bezos and his space trip and screaming at the TV, "I ALREADY DONE THAT!"
Rotflmao He's in my 'Community Profiles' I'd start following him again but someone with that short a fuse would probably tell me to "FUCK OFF!" simply for following them. Silly sod doesn't realise what a rich experience it is following me. 😉
So I went to the ASDA in Cannock at lunchtime, and I'd say 85 - 90% of the people were wearing masks; the remainder were clearly in the "I don't fooking have to wear one anymore, and you can't make me!" group. #LeSigh #Covid19UK #COVID
IMO we scored far too early because England then played how they always play: "Let's just stop the other team scoring." the only time things picked up was when Jack Grealish came on.
England better win on Sunday night because it's starting to get silly in the UK. Some schools have said pupils can come in late on Monday after watching the match. Supermarkets are closing early so staff can watch the match. The wife's work phoned and said she can come in late to watch the match. There's a cry to have a snap Bank Holiday if we win the match.
Actually, I do. another bank holiday would mean more infected morons invading our county. Driving through Looe, social distancing and face coverings are almost non existent.
That moment when you blow the dust off your Pi cluster. Rebuild the Docker Swarm from scratch, then actually bother to look at the hardware requirements, and it says: "Minimum of 20GB of RAM, and at least 400GB of fast local storage." Oops! I don't think 2.77GB of memory and a 32GB USB is gonna cut it? #HiveNode #clusterhat #raspberrypi
And what have we learnt from this kiddies? https://www.theregister.com/2021/07/07/tenacity_maintainer_quits/ 1. If you're gonna have a poll you'd best abide by the result. 2. If you are going to hang around in a bear pit (4chan) and you approve of their tactics don't start bitching when the same tactics are used on you.
So with the announcement that social distancing rules will probably be lifted in the UK on the 19th of July, I await the Internet experts (mainly Twitter) to start telling us all how wrong it is and that the Government is cynically killing people while having spent the last 12 months telling us the Government is abusing our human rights by closing everything down.
You know, a section of society has constantly told you every five minutes for 13,000 years that the rich are driving Britain into the ground, and yet we're still here. It seems to me someones got it wrong somewhere?
So the statement still stands. They are sat in their towers counting their money, and yet the so-called 'downtrodden' are still here. There was probably two Roman Legionnaires moaning on Hadrian's wall "That fooking Nero and his cronies........."
