I wonder if "Please hold for the next available advisor" is code for "Fook Off!"?

Kim Leadbeater (Labour) won with 13,296 votes, a majority of just 323. I wonder if the result would have been the same if she was not Jo Cox's sister?

Intrigued to know how many people asked their Google assistant, "What day is it today?" I'll hold my hand up and admit I asked my Google mini this morning.

Hands up all those who remember people walking around shouting at the top of their voice into their mobile phone? Not because the recipient couldn't hear but to ensure you looked and saw they had a mobile phone. Encryption is pretty much the same. 90% of the population doesn't need it, but if you want to look like Billy-Big-Bollocks, you let everyone know you use it.

A couple of months ago, I told the window cleaner to come every other month rather than every month. He actually got his arse in hand with me.

He was due yesterday but didn't show up (Talk about immature), so we got a new old school one yesterday. A man with a bucket and a ladder rather than the other twat and his hosepipe pole and his "I don't need to dry them I put a chemical in the wash. WTF?

I've been watching Undercover on Netflix. It's a Belgian-Dutch crime drama about undercover cops. I started out liking Bob Lemmens, the main character, but now I kind of wanna see him get his comeuppance tbh. Thoroughly enjoying it, though.

That's a point. If you fill out a car insurance request on GoCompare, for example, it will ask you how many days a week you drive? For the last year, my car has hardly moved off the drive! So that's a tough one to answer truthfully.

It always makes me smile that everyone in the FOSS community thinks that the world at large (Which is a billion times bigger than the FOSS community) thinks the same as them in terms of security when in reality, Joe Public couldn't give a toss. Millions of devices are out there with no AVโ€”millions of people using their DOB as a password. My Missus uses passwords that would make you cry! And as for sharing data.......

I wondered how long it would take insurance companies to implement Lie Detection. Thank The Pond Gods; this lot have dropped the idea.

I've had to close it now. It's gone a bit cold. The dog looked at me as if I'm some sort of jailer!

Is it just me that finds it ironic that people on Twitter et al. are posting messages saying, "I don't have any money to buy in the dip"
So let me get this right, You've no money yet you want to invest in #crypto, which is currently haemorrhaging money, and you're hoping someone will flip you a few quid with your "Get Rich Quick sฬถcฬถhฬถeฬถmฬถeฬถ gamble."
