Couple of my mates had them, and I got one free at an event as part of a goodie bag. I suppose I can see the point about making it easier to hold (maybe if the Mrs had had one she wouldn't have dropped hers down the bog; I believe there's another thread for such tales of fuckwittery?). But my mates only ever use theirs as wee stands - pull out the back bit and it allows you to prop the phone up so you can watch stuff while you're having your tea. Or anything else where you need at least one free hand... Could easily live without it for all the times I use it, and the biggest downside so far is now it doesn't fit in my dashboard mount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday an ATM gave the cash fine, then waited to the cusp of the point I was beginning to panic before it contemptuously spat out the card. I'd have panicked right away tbh, ATMs give you your card back first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm abroad and it asked for all the instructions before it !atterly asked for the card. It was a nerve wracking experience on the whole.

In this country we just boot a machine in the pi until it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I had my credit card details nicked last month, with the culprits maxing it out with junk food and Netflix subscriptions. The provider cancelled the card and issued me with a new one, which has sat in a drawer unused, as I wanted to wait until the erroneous transactions had been wiped.The transactions were cleared a few days ago, and immediately more fraudulent transactions started appearing on the account. The old card details have been cancelled, and nobody knows the new ones. Nobody else has even physically seen it.WTF is going on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally if it's a subscription they'll move on to the new card even if it's canceled so you don't have to fanny about telling everyone your new details. If it's not that then someone is defInitely in your drawers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bert, I won't have to resort to sending my card details to Dindeleux now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Herbalife freaks describing themselves as "helping people smash their dreams" or "changing people's lives for the better". No. You are ripping people off and trying to brainwash them into thinking that drinking protein shakes will help you lose weight. Again, no. You can eat healthy without all that shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) The BBC's inconsistency in the use of the words City / Rovers / Athletic etc in their fixture lists. See todays example below where they have Athletic for Annan, but not for Forfar or Dunfermline. Rovers for Raith, but not for Albion (especially when a Google of "Albion football club" returns Stirling Albion as the top result who of course are in the same league). Rangers for Cove but no Albion for Stirling when there are two senior clubs that have the word 'Stirling' in the name, etc etc. I can understand why you make a point of having the City for Edinburgh, but sometimes they go as far as writing 'Elgin City' and 'Brechin' (or vice versa) in the same list. I think heads should roll for this IMHO. Albion 15:00 Cove Rangers Annan Athletic 15:00 Stenhousemuir Brechin 15:00 Elgin Edinburgh City 15:00 Stirling Airdrieonians 15:00 Raith Rovers Forfar 15:00 Clyde Inverness CT 15:00 Alloa Queen of Sth 15:00 Dunfermline Edited February 1, 2020 by Hedgecutter 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
