Time for a new What Cheered Me Up Today thread
The old one spanned ten years
So, there I was reading the local snoozepaper online and the Crown court has published a new naughty list.
Sometimes people I went to school with show up in here so I keep an eye one.
A name cropped up that sounded familiar (Read this in a Ronnie Barker voice - Porridge)
Not from school, he seems to be a frequent flyer through the courts and despite stealing 35 quids worth of detergent failed to make a clean getaway on this occasion.
The part that cheered my up was the anonymised court data.
All in there with the defendants name anonymised, case number, date of expected release, uven a map showing crime location.
Nope no chance of identifying who this relates to thanks to all that anonymisation work
If not, phone that Jenny Eclair bint, she has a lotion for that.
Every flipping ad break she deploys the word “Bothersome”
In between the adverts for “too itchy” or “Foreplay in a tube” and how to confidently play tennis whilst on the blob and showing your pristine tighty whities as all the evidence we need as a bit of legal upskirting.
This sounds like a WAMT but …
I have setup a recording schedule for all the stuff I want to watch now and FF past all that crap.
Yes I am a tightwad that mostly watches freeview, but now I am avoiding all the blipverts.
Is it done yet ?
Friday is not a good day for snags to happen in building projects.
My builders always seem to need a tool they forgot to load on the van or need to “nip off to get some left handed nails” just before mid-day and that would be the last you see of them until Monday.
For the most part, it is Just need the decorator on Wednesday to do his part and then Barry to put shelves etc in and it will be done! Although it will take a few weeks no doubt for Caylin’s shower trolley to get here which means we’ll need to improvise when showering her until then
I was amused by the contents of an Ebay purchase that arrived yesterday, not the thing I ordered but the manner in which it was packed.
There was a token layer of bubble wrap round the item in an oversized box, the extra space being taken up with scrumpled A4 sheets of printout.
In this day of identity theft and account tampering I like to render sensitive documents unreadable, fire being the preferred method but not this chap.
Bank statements, details of flights, cruises with all the personal details filled in, a speed awareness course and even some printed sheet music of his own composition.
My ebay purchase came with two hot swap PSUs.
I needed just the one but both of these are good so I have a spare, which I could keep or stick back on Ebay for twice the price of the chassis it came in.
