New forum coming in 2018!

Coming in hot…well, more lukewarm really.

Completely bailed on Q1/2, but in for Q3.

Need to shift the quarantine lbs….and what a quarantine it’s been.

The chap trying to meet up with Dave (?) in Surrey Hills.

9yrs ago. Lordy.

I heard that the NHS were looking for IT workers as volunteers. Anyone know why or what for? Looking for ways to help.

My trust has a specific email/webpage for the roles they are currently trying to fill. Some are admin based, which might be of interest?

My advice would be to find your local trust, acute/community, recruitment info and get in touch.

Failing that, you could always go on the bank (temp staffing) as a HCA or similar.

First off, condolences for their loss.

Did they have any underlying health issues/age?

However, feel like an utter fraud being classed as a ‘key worker’. All I’m doing is following a set of instructions and emailing out documents.

Which helps people and keeps things moving.

Obviously there are levels to this, but don’t underestimate your role in the greater effort.

Embedded in a NHS early intervention in psychosis team as an employment specialist, basically helping people back into work. Self isolating till Wednesday then being redeployed as a STW Worker just to make sure people are getting meds, doing ok and most importantly keeping stable/not deteriorating.

I know the financial impact of all this is going to be a mess we’ll be crawling out from for years to come….but the mental health issues this causes/propagates is going to be a right pickle.

Death.

Taxes.

Joining chub Club and bailing out in week 6.

Plot twist: It’s the OP, and he just wants to show off his handiwork.

It would’ve been handy if someone had actually reported it.

lol.

Wisbech will be cheap, but then there is a reason for that. Like a lot of small market towns in the area it has been somewhat gutted by underinvestment. It has fairly high crime for it’s size as there is naff all to do apart from getting drunk or high. Transport links, including the roads, are not great.

Unless you really want to maximise what you get for your money I’d suggest looking elsewhere.

If you need to be near Cambridge, maybe Peterborough, surrounding villages (depending where you go can be miles from some great flat countryside), outskirts of Huntingdon or St Neots. The latter being a stone’s throw from Cambridge and not ridiculous prices.

It’s available now or at least I’m seeing the option to set it up via the app.

Yup. I was using it last week. I am in the beta program, but not the Google one, so assume open to everyone. Switching between the two is a bit involved, so you will probably be sticking with just the one, although if you have 2 paired I guess you could have 1 set to Alexa and the other set to Google.

Personally I prefer Alexa as 1) better wake word, and 2) you can set her to not acknowledge after as request.

For example:

Me: Alexa, turn on the light.
Alexa: Quiet tone.

Me: Hey Google! (shudder), turn on the light.
Google: Turning on the light!

I don’t understand how you were charged by simply clicking on an ad?

Same.

Just logging back in to say goddamn it…

I always start these things slowly.

That’s what I am telling myself.

Abducted In Plain Sight.

Documentary about how a sexual predator finagled his way into a family. Avoid any info about it for best results.

I use Halo as my default washing liquid.

Smells nice and restores days old damp gym kit.

I can’t believe MM read the script and agreed to make the film.

I’m sure he had his rea$on$.

the director could have had 2 films out of the work he put in here

Why make one terrible film, when you can make two!

Gone up a bit.

All part of the plan.

Oh, yeah I had the best offers automatically added recently and the automatic relisting I can’t find a way to turn off. That was fun.

Don’t use the app. Automatically adds all that stuff. List via desktop, but be sure to select advanced listing tool (it defaults to the quick listing tool).

It’s a pain.

If we’re airing eBay gripes. Bring forced to use Paypal as payment option on items listed as collection only. Always fun.

No I wasn’t expecting free stuff.

What exactly where you expecting when you told them:

I said, seeing as it was their error and they’d put me to a whole lot of bother, they might want to do a bit better than that.

As from a service point of view, and lacking a time machine, what else could they do if not give you something gratis?

well we clearly think differently.

Yup, and that’s fine. Glad you got sorted.

I said, seeing as it was their error and they’d put me to a whole lot of bother, they might want to do a bit better than that.

I normally roll my eyes at some on here who seem to accept bad service/products as if it’s no issue, but I would never think to go ask for compensation in this scenario.

Not making any judgements, just interesting.

p.s:

I said, seeing as it was their error and they’d put me to a whole lot of bother

Had they tho? Couple of emails/photos?

1lb off.

Not sure how.

But I’ll take it!

Heads up. Episode 3, Violence, has just popped up on All4.

Edit: Not sure I remember the previous episodes having such an obvious soundtrack?

Bringing things slightly up to date…

Police in wubwubwubwub.

Rob.

Can you see who does edits etc on the sheet?

P.S. @Jamie I think you input your weight worng dear. Or you ate substantially more over Chrimbo than you realise.

No idea what has happened there. Looks like someone has sausage fingers and entered errant data into my box.

Just realised I put on 10lbs in the last 2-3weeks.

Quite impressive.

What and how does this work?

You send Rob naked pictures. He then guesstimates what you weigh, and fills the spreadsheet in.

At least that’s what he has me doing.

Unerringly accurate as it goes.

I’ve binned the lot 🙂 Anyone who was in previously and wants in agen, please PM with email addy or email with user name.

Emailed.

p.s quoting is erm….user-friendly.

Noice.

In like Flynn.

As long as I don’t go too overboard this holiday period, I should be starting 5lbs less than the last version whatevernumberwereonnow starting weight.

Assume previous chubbster’s details are already with you? Or you need an email as well?

…and thanks for doing it again, Rob.

Interesting-ish reading.

Over the last year I have had a 8% return. I don’t believe this is the norm.

Do I need to spend the extra ton for the Pro?  I’m only going to be playing RDR2 , and I’ll get a 2nd hand copy of GTAV, and that’s it.

Nah. Buy a second hand PS4 and you’re good.

He must have been a naughty boy in a previous life.

**** no.

Libratone Zipp.

Bluetooth, DNLA, Airplay 2, Spotify Connect, USB, Aux In, makes toast, multi-room, 10hrs battery.

….oh and sound great.

New v2 has Alexa built in, but not sure it’s worth the extra over the older models.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday is in 3-4 weeks (Amazon starts a week early sometimes). Might not be anything amazing, but worth holding off for that short time.
