As of 10 am this morning, I'm not supposed to drink tea or coffee for 24 hours.

𝗠𝗲: "Meh, it doesn't bother me. I usually have a cup of tea at 9:30 am and maybe one mid-afternoon, and that's it."

Guess who is now craving a cup of tea?

I'm an early riser. 4:30 - 5:00 am pretty much seven days a week.

I decided to log into my Coinbase account at the weekend, given I've been too depressed to look at it for the last couple of months. I wish I hadn't. :-(

Brilliant! One of our Engineers is phoning a support number, and if we didn't know any better, he's been Rick-Rolled because Rick Astley - Never gonna give you up is the on-hold muzak. 🤣

I'm obsessed with these Centurion 8-bit minicomputer videos.

I know, but just lately I've had to use them a lot for people who I know are ignoring me. If I don't get a read acknowledgement I'm like Sheldon out of Big Bang Theory and ringing them every five minutes.

So let me get this straight. I struggle to pay my bills, including my mortgage, out of my wages and yet people on housing benefits will be entitled to get the state, i.e. taxpayers, to buy their houses for them? WTF? Have I woken up in an alternative universe?

I have just eaten this nasty thing.

Given the rising price of fuel, I may have to move to London if I want to get a Free Bus Pass. Either that or become an MP and have a second home in Londinium. Apparently, I'm far too young for one?

Amazing! My car insurer sent me a renewal for £404.43. I rang them after looking through a couple of comparison sites, and instantly they could get it down to £367.64. I've gone with Hastings for £303.09, saving a massive £101.34; it's a PITA shopping around, and yes, you spend forever on the phone, but a hundred quid saving is not to be sniffed at.

Hmm? Last night, I had to move my desk at home, and I found my microphone articulated arm covered in dust. After cleaning it, I spent the next few minutes thinking about using it again. 🤔

Ever thought: "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" might work for some people too?

My QNAP is under attack. 😞
Not sure how they're doing it as HTTP is not exposed. There's no port forwarding to it, and you can't ssh externally to it?

You know, he was able to turn the Xbox on. I wonder if he could be trained to turn the NAS off? I'm not overly worried. The password (as are all my passwords) is pretty evil and even if they did get in I backed the whole QNAP up to the ARGON EON a couple of weeks ago so it'd be Trivial to wipe the QNAP and copy everything back.

I suspect this is the issue: qnap.com/en/security-news/2022…

Ah, first level support dog. I like the idea! Have you seen Paw Patrol? 😎

After a week off it's only 14:15 and I'm struggling to keep Mr Sandman at bay!

Saw a rather sad looking Ukrainian flag hanging by one corner out a bedroom window this morning and thought: "That just about sums up the situation, battered, wet and hanging on by a thread."

@Paul We have a customer who still uses Eudora, OK so he's like 187 years old and is an original customer of the business (Hands up all those who remember dial-up?) but he rings up now and again for support. I remember our apprentice when he first dealt with him: "What's Eudora!?" 🤣 🤣 🤣

Well, that's the start of a new chapter. It's just me, the wife and Charlie from now on at #CastleCannon The twins each own their own home.

The wife has made a Biscoff cheesecake. Only one problem, we can feed half the street with the size of the damn thing but more importantly, for how much it cost I could have bought a small island!

YIPEE! Blow the crap and dust off the barbecue! This part of Merry England has the potential for some sun today.

And after the barbecue and corresponding drinks you have a mattress available to take a nap.

For the love of The Pond Gods! What is so special about the 9th of June?

Ordered something from eBay. Delivery: 9th June
Ordered something from Amazon. Delivery: 9th June
Ordered something from Argos. Delivery: 9th June
Ordered something from Dunhelm. Delivery: 9th June

Had to just ask my boss if I can WFH that day or the wife will go mental with the constant doorbell ringing!

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me.
Oh, and here's another one. The stuff ordered from Dunhelm: Click and collect would come with a delivery cost because half the order had to be sent to the house and half to the store however if I have ALL the items sent to the house it is free delivery?

I'm as confused as you are.

Yeah. Scarily, driving through the lights on Red at this particular set is almost every day now. The cops around here would far rather sit in a layby in a warm BMW with the engine running waiting for a speeder than stand at the lights in the cold with a camera.

𝗪𝗶𝗳𝗲: "Yeah, you wait. When they get the heating relief money, all those people won't put the money up, and they'll spend it!"

𝗪𝗶𝗳𝗲: "I've had my £150."

𝗠𝗲: "Have you? That's good. So it's started to trickle through then?"

𝗪𝗶𝗳𝗲: "Yeah, I bought a top."

How true. "You can have your own opinions, but you can't have your own facts." That's social media in a nutshell.

The sky was full of planes this morning while walking the dog; I kid you not! Clearly, as of March 2022, 92,065 people were not worried about fuel bills or food prices. I wonder how many flights there'll be by the end of today? caa.co.uk/Documents/Download/9…

The fuel and food price rises were inevitable. There's no murky rich man plan to squeeze the poor. We've had a pandemic whereby the vast majority across the globe did not work but still consumed. In the UK, we've had Brexit, which means changes that will affect prices, and now we have a war going on in Ukraine that is affecting food and energy supplies. This is a global problem, not a local one. Unfortunately, the solution is "Time." time for things to calm down and return to a level of normality, although unfortunately, it'll never return to "How things used to be."
