Also the 3 drunk driving convictions were all on the same night. Glasgow finest at it's best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s something in our subconscious that recognises the lack of history and evolution in these terms so we add a comforting traditional word to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 PIN is a clunky word. Putting “number” after it humanises it a bit. Not a PTTGOMN but it's kind of related to this. It always amuses me the number of people who think they need to flip their card over when paying by contactless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My contactless doesn't work and getting a new card would involve ringing the Scousers at the call centre so I just stick with the PIN (number). So many folk in shops etc say "Contacless?" and I say "no, it doesn't work" then they present the machine for me to use it contactless anyway. Zombies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, I have great history of my hate of RRFC, I used to live quite close to the shack. I couldn't get to the Forfar games all the time, so would venture into the Rnck Park as a neutral in the opposition (away end every time). There cheering at half time scores of a certain team, always confused me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contactless annoys me as you have to place the card where you cover the screen that then says APPROVED. I either take the card away too quick to try and check the screen or leave it too long and have the assistant say 'it's through'. I would think they could create a contactless machine that you present the card to in aplace that doesn't cover the screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime I've done it I've just held it until the machine beeps, then took the card away and a second or so later it says approved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old - It still seems like witchcraft, and just have that moment of doubt. I can remember cheques with cheque cards and credit cards that went into a manual printer with paper carbon things. The changes in payment methods and online banking in the last 30 years is unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changes in payment methods and online banking in the last 30 years is unbelievable. So can I. In fact I had to use one of those carbon things for a debit card payment at Center Parcs last year as their ISDN or whatever lines were down. Took ages to come out the bank. For a moment I wasn't even sure if my card was signed or not but I had done it. I recently got a new credit card to replace and expired one and when I destroyed the old one I realised I hadn't even signed it. Must have had it 3 or 4 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennboy1978 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 See also PAT Testing. Of course you enter your PIN Number into an ATM Machine using a FIN Ger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
