    When you relax on a Saturday night with a few cans stick a movie on and within an hour you realise it's complete shite.

    Unless it is love… because love changes everything including borked threads!

    wtf is it with these and disappearing into the ether / just getting taken by people that lose theirs ? Few months back I bought 4 boxes of various USB types I use. Had to hide em on a shelf behind some box sets. Not like they are hard to acquire.. supermarkets, phone shops, corner shops, petrol stations, home wear suppliers. Practically anyone can walk from their front door to a place selling them.

    My TA….I’ve a weirdish cold. no temperature, no cough / respiratory or other usual symptoms aside from regularly sneezing semi violently… and blocked ears which this afternoon have cleared bout 10 minutes ago following a prolonged sneezing fit …. 🥲

    Sounds like allergies. Even if you've never been allergic to anything until now, you can develop them as you go along.

    Its a good day for TA's.

    Just left some glowing reviews for some stuff from Temu. Also left a couple of shockers.

    What TAed me is that if you don't specifically leave a review for an item but leave a review for another from the same order Temu automatically give the ones you didn't review 5 bloody stars.

    Lesson learnt, woe betide any sellers that aren't worth 5 stars in future as your stuff will get a retaliatory 1 star - /pointless waves fist at passing clouds.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    A twofor TA for me.

    I order a takeaway maybe once a year if that, and last night I decided it was the time to take a punt. Fancied a Chinese but every single takeaway in the town seemed to only be providing delivery by just eat or that kind of company. Dagnabbbit I just want to ring the Chinese directly and order, like the good old days. Didn't seem to be an option anywhere.

    In the end, I ordered pizza which I know is the most overpriced of all takeaway, but hadn't had one in yonks. Got delivery and the pizza was the scaldiest yoke I've ever seen. It honestly looked like they'd taken a ruler out to measure the space between toppings, on fear of death if two pieces of ham were too close to each other. The pizza had eight slices and each slice had one tiny piece of ham on it, and one tiny piece of pineapple. (please don't hate me for the pineapple)

    For the prices they charge, they sure don't go out of their way to impress customers.

    I may try again sometime next year, but right now I'm not feeling the love.

    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    Every company going is making a packet selling your info to data miners and you can't even cut out the middle man and sell it to them yourself. They want you to do surveys and give it to them for free!

    Tinder matched with a guy, his profile said he was 5'7, im 5'5. We met up and I was taller than he was. Wont see him again, not because he's short but because he's either delusional about his own height or straight up lied. Obviously there were other reasons I wont see him again but this was the first red flag. Why do men lie about their height? Dates will go much better for you if you avoid lying straight off the bat, doesnt take a rocket scientist.
