Random Irritations

[Deleted member 21784]

Nope. Just reasonable, sensible people that don't enjoy having Facebook own all of their personal information.
If you believe that they should have control of it then enjoy!

Who gives a rat's? Seriously? If your worried don't own a phone full stop

Also if you read into it the EU and UK blocked it so they get bugger all from WhatsApp so your fine.

Stop being so paranoid jezz

First of all, it's you're.

Secondly, "...if you read into it the EU and UK blocked it so they get bugger all from WhatsApp so your fine..." elicits a WTF do you mean?

Thirdly (is there a thirdly?) see the first post.

What's app is end to end encrypted. It is as secure as a very secure thing. That is one of the reasons why it is banned in alot of China. The Government can't snoop, and neither can any one else, including the provider.

Perhaps your neighbor is an idiot?

They actually have already booked 3 holidays. Rearranged bookings from last year I believe. Probably use it or lose it.

He was talking about the cruise - they require proof of vaccination, a covid test and if you are showing a fever they will not let you board. Apparently 35% of cabins are being left unoccupied for purposes of quarantine space. hey are required to have insurance which includes cover for repatriation via helicopter.

The fact that Scotland is the only country in the home nations have delayed their census till 2022.

Can't have a census but able to have an election, that makes sense !

Clay soil. Moved into this house June 2015.....that next winter was a good flooding year and our back yard (Americanism, sorry), was....well.....wet clay. You could stand and wiggle your feet and you may sink and never be seen again (well, except for thousands of years from now when they dig you up and are amazed at how well preserved you are). I spent the first few years being a "good boy" and digging in compost and then spreading over the top of the lawn...it helped. But last year I said bugger it....got in a ton of sharp sand and the garden fork.....jammed the fork in, wiggle to get biggish holes and swept the sand in. That helped a bit more. This year.....another (ton of sharp sand) couple of layers of sharp sand over the top and just going to let it sit there. The goal......to be able to walk on the grass during the winter (usually to pick up frickin dog poo) without messing up the grass. Going to put more of the sand on the front as well since that is where our moss grows......I've heard that the sand will eventually help solve that problem as well. It's a theory I can live with.

I bit the bullet, dug down to the clay layer and removed one spade depths worth. Took me 4 years doing a few yards at a time but the shrubs have absolutely loved all the compost used to back fill.

Wow. These people have, obviously, not seen a reputable news report in more than a year.\
Taking a "cruise" was a pretty sorry thing to do when to do when all you had to worry about was being locked in your cabin with the shiiis, but these days?

Anyone with 2 A levels is a genius, any one without is a bit thick? Really not sure what they are going to get from asking what qualifications you have, when the questions are that basic.

It made me smile and criticise in the feedback form. The exams I did at school and college were not listed. Bit ageist in my opinion.

Looks like I did not take/pass any exams.

They will obviously put you in the bit thick category. ?

There was a link to explain "GCSE equivalents", did you click on it?

See above comment.

Obviously not. Did it mention GCEs?

 

[jim8flog]

Well it must have done, but I didn't need to check because I know that my O'Levels morphed into GCSEs.


If I didn't know I would have clicked the big link instead of ignoring it then criticising the survey.

I did my census when it first arrived. Maybe they added the link after reading my criticism

Just discovered that our ‘lovely and easy‘ to dig back garden soil is rubbish for growing stuff...it’s only taken me 25yrs of ’variable’ success growing stuff to make this discovery...?

People pretending to be carers to jump the queue for vaccines before the shortages next month. Knew the selfish lot would start showing up eventually

Oh the grammar police. Excuse me if I type on my phone and I don't care

Right read into WhatsApp end to end encryption

They can't read your messages

The new thing where their trying to sell you stuff via WhatsApp has been banned in the UK and the EU but everywhere else has it

Take your tin foil hat off and live a little

You might enjoy it

Someone at work did that. Selfish cow. Nobody's talking to her

Just did a quick check out of interest. When GCSEs replaced GCEs I was thinking about what I was going to do when I retired

The amount of waffle in drawing the FA Cup semi finals.

There was a brilliant send up in 1990 when the BBC conducted "the draw for the F A Cup final". The FA did their nut over it.
