The Old Git

Bloke on twitter claims it and wishes he’d “patented” it

Can’t use tester kit because login section pushed off the screen 🤷🏻‍♂️

@grievewatch on Twitter has some interesting examples

Relieved to read this from the Steam Packet. Was thinking of chucking my money away https://www.steam-packet.com/faqs/QEII

God Save The Bean

Was he the guy some forums members spent ages trying to explain that the light at Groves Road / Mew Castletown Road were wrong and would lead to an accident? When he finally grasped it they were changed soon afterwards i thought he set up some sort of cat kennels as a sideline.

We came home on the 19th March and had to quarantine at home for two weeks. We’d had no restrictions in Seville or Lisbon until the last few days. We almost extended out stay in Lisbon for a couple of weeks until it all blew over. I could well imagine him booking a holiday in January or February

That wasn’t until around April. I had a two month holiday before lockdown. It’s entirely possible he booked it in the first quarter of 2020

Good old “virtue signalling”? Can’t see the point in half of what’s happening.

I'm still trying to get through my covid lockdown supplies. Getting a bit sick of beans and breakfast in a tin though. I wonder if Richard Madeley still has his millennium meltdown stores?

Better not fuck up my 41st wedding anniversary plans

Only the one that I saw. Probably the one with the window plastered with black A4 printouts of the Queen. The others seemed to functioning normally

Also the appalling lack of judgement from someone wanting to be an MHK. Even if you don’t like the royal family now is not the time or place.

Someone saying that MT have put some sort of scrolling message on phones? Glad I’m not with them if that’s the case Maybe just the network name?

Think I’ll cancel the weekend papers.

Channel 4 not showing the usual American comedies this morning and instead showing Brits In The Sun. No idea why 🤷🏻‍♂️

At least UKTV don’t have a lower third banner over the programme this time saying to change to bbc 1 for breaking news like when Philip died.

She’s died

Was that the one with a little barcode scanner? Had one of them. I’ve a ridiculous amount of cameras and lenses as I’m crap at selling things.

I don’t usually listen, but I thought he was wanting less red tape at the same time as wanting more planning to go through the process rather than as permitted development 🤷🏻‍♂️ I did like his “foot in the sand” mixed metaphor though

Driver not looking? "It came out of nowhere"

We invoice after the work is done and it was mainly dealing with customers wanting the tax point “adjusted” to save them money. Some requests were frankly ridiculous. Actually changing the vat rate on the computer was quite easy for us but I get your point about the reduction not being understood. We also offered a prompt payment discount, which involved the vat being calculated on the discounted amount and we became quite good at quoting the relevant vat section from memory.

A change in vat rate was a right pain in the backside. Think it happened twice when I was involved, glad I’m out of it.
