    You've changed your tune. A couple of weeks ago you told me she was an auld cow. Remember? because she called round and ate all your jaffa cakes on you.

    One of the discs in the 33CD Donna Summer Encore box is scratched. The whole thing has to go back to Amazon.

    And my iPhone is stuck in headphone mode. I last used headphones with it three weeks ago (to listen to music while on the train). Have been working from home since then. Seems to have happened suddenly. Have tried powering if off, cleaning the headphone jack, switching to airplane mode etc. Nothing works.

    There was a statement couple of weeks ago sent out by a guy on lockdown in China, he said not to watch or read too much media about the virus, it will drive you crazy if you are following it all day every day. Do something else with your time to keep your mind off things.

    I think he's right too.
    Definitely agree. I managed to avoid it for about two whole days a while ago and I felt immense relief!

    I check the spanish stats because my parents are stuck there and it annoys me when I am trying to find some hope and see am article about how they reached their peak or whatever and then that hope is dashed with "oh but they're all still f*cked" :p

    Try making a phone call and then switch to phone or phone speaker during call.
    It's years since I had an iPhone but it worked for me before.

    Reminds me, I've an aunt that I despise (my mother's sister). I think I mentioned her before. Hyacinth from Keeping up Appearances. And it's gas because her husband is very like Richard too. A real mouse of a man. Anyway every so often she will do something unreasonable or have a go at my mother over something - doesn't matter what it is. For example, when my mum told her she was worried about my Dad being at risk of Covid-19 because he is in his 70's and has diabetes, she had to retort with, "that's nothing, my husband has a heart condition would you cop on" - as if it is a f*cking competition.

    She also has it in for me since I stood up to her over something a few years back (she doesn't like when people do that) and will take any opportunity to discredit anything do. Most recent example being when I got pregnant. A couple of seconds after my mother told her she said, "hmmm....yeah that's lovely. Oh, my daughter was just saying to me there how sad and pathetic it is that all her friends who are in their 30's now are just shacking up with any guy, they are so desperate to have kids, rather than waiting to find the right person". When I did well in my Leaving Cert. she said, "well that's only because she went to a private school isn't it".

    My TA is not so much the way she is - there are ars*holes everywhere, but it's that every so often my mother will swear this is the last straw, she is never talking to her again, that's it she is finished with her etc.

    Then a month later yer wan is back in our house for dinner and drinks. They get tipsy and are BFFs again. :pac: Apparently "blood is thicker than water" means you can treat people you supposedly love like rubbish :mad:

    Paid for my script over the phone in the week, collected it today .
    They can only fill it for a month to avoid stockpiling, if I have to ring and pay for another script for the duration of the closedown, I'll be more than ta'ed!!

    People who feel the need to announce in-thread that they've reported a post.

    Bonus sap points if they actually quote the post in question while doing so.

    TA the thing that's fastest and easiest to grow is the one I least like. Salad leaves. That is not food, to me.

    TA Facebook must be listening to private conversations or reading my messages.

    5 ads for fertility aids, natural contraceptives and pregnancy tests.

    When they get it wrong, they get it very wrong.

    The multiple "bye bye bye" at the end of a phone call. Why do people do this?
    Also, social media lurkers.

    My ex in England texted me last week saying he thought he had covid-19, and because he has asthma was worried he wouldn’t survive it. I told him to text me every so often to make sure he’s okay. Haven’t heard from him since Thursday and I’ve texted him twice since and he hasn’t read or answered them. Can’t decide if I should be worried or not

    Such a time calls for social media stalking?

    Had something similar happen a few years ago with the Harry Potter Blu-ray collection, one of them wouldn't play (confirmed across multiple devices). They said sorry and sent me another one without having to send back the original. Waited a few months, bought the non-working disc second hand somewhere and sold the original, now working, collection for half price. Win!

    TA'd that even without a VPN so very limited access to work systems, they seem to think we can work as if we were still at work with access to everything. How can we work as normal without access? And then to be basically giving out what we're not doing enough! Up to 80% of the business customers we support are closed!!!

    I did try but he’s not that big into social media so it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary if he wasn’t on it. Just logged into my PS account and saw he’s online so he must be okay. TA’d that he wouldn’t at least text me to let me know since he knows how I worry :rolleyes:

    In fairness, Amazon's customer service is good. Depending on the item, they'll often let you keep it. This is an expensive box (£170) so they want me to send it back within 30 days but will issue a replacement set shortly. I'll continue play-testing the CDs in this box and when the replacement comes, will do a mix & match to have a working set.

    Im doing occasional split shifts to minimize the amount of people at work. Work from home first half of day, break from 1 till 5 then drive to work and work until 9 or 10 after everyone else has gone home.
    It's annoying but it could be a lot worse.
