How they can even begin to kid themselves that that referendum result was the will of the people is laughable. He's on tv saying what Spains police did was illegal. What a hypocritical p***k. Then he runs away with his friends when what he had coming comes for him.

Titan bars from Aldi are like superevolved mars bars. Those places have impressive sweet infrastructures.

Going by today's reports they may be the best piece of infrastructure currently in the country.

I'll have to call in to the local one on the way home so.

Lidl?

Try from an area that voted overwhelmingly in favour of the current Spanish constitution instead.

Gibraltar voted 97% to remain as is.. doesn't stop Spain still trying to lay claim to it and make things "difficult" for residents coming into Spain

Slack's been down over an hour. Most of silicon valley is in meltdown.

Somebody just paid USD 71,995 for four seats behind home plate for the World Series finale. That's mad Ted!

There's something about me that not a lot of people on here know, and that is that I have an absolutely massive ego.

But here's an odd one that's happened to me today that has left me puzzled. A potential supplier of mine followed me on twitter. Then went back through a bunch of tweets, which really don't have anything to do with what I do for a living (because I work in tech, but I tweet about sports and politics) and liked a bunch of them.

Now maybe this is only noticeable to people like me who rarely say anything of interest and so actually get notified when their tweets are liked, but is that not a bit strange? Is that how sales has gone these days? Or is this a rarity.

Unless you have a very friendly working relationship with him I would say that is very, very odd. How far back did he go? It might be okay if you guys chat about that sort of stuff regularly when you interact, but if not then....

Seems like a strange sales tactic, but they might be looking for conversation starters to make it easier for them to engage with you pre-sales pitch in the future. I wouldn't worry about it much.

dregin · 01-11-2017 03:54PM

It also sounds a bit like the LinkedIn recruiter spam tactic. Throw enough ****e around to get someones attention. Sounds pretty unprofessional anyway. I retract my previous statement and would avoid working with them.

Never spoken to the chap, outside of one email!

It could be as innocent as something like he followed you and started browsing down through the tweets and found them interesting or amusing and just absentmindedly liked a bunch of them.

But knowing what I do about your opinions and humour I'd say he is much more likely looking to rusty trombone your ass.

Then that's odd. If he was trying to find things to engage with you on then he wouldn't be liking all the tweets, he'd just be reading them. And that kind of social media stalking is completely normal these days. But liking the tweets is that extra step that nobody does. Unless they're in their 60s and have no idea what the rules are.

Yes, with all the benefits attached.

You might want to stop into the shop on the way home and pick up some bleach and polish.

I reckon he'd love that post more than you know.

I dunno. The American tech sector is a very, very odd place. I'd say this might be a real sales approach.

DGRulz · 01-11-2017 04:31PM

Its probably just his intern forgot to sign out of his account on their phone. :pac:

I've actually never had tinder, but this was chilling to me.

Stranger Things
Trapped

Most enjoyable 2 series I watched on Netflix in the last 12 months or so.

For a laugh, Master of None is light relief.

Some CB Insights guy (who was new) endorsed every major skill I have on my LinkedIn profile after cold adding me. Not as weird as liking my back catalogue of tweets though.

When it’s damp, do four puffs of the Farah Fawcett spray.
