    Yeah, member pricing can **** right off. They’re all at it now. 2 tier prices, and it’ll be the elderly and those not tech savvy that will suffer the most.

    It’s not even member pricing, it’s member access. I get that it’s the operating model for Amazon fresh but if high st supermarkets aren’t even going to let you in the store without downloading the app, I can’t imagine how much business they’re going to lose.

    Mrs M and I started Baby Reindeer last night. Didn't make to the end of the first episode. I was OK with it, but she was creeped out. 

    I was exactly the same. Felt a bit too reminiscent of some of my past dating disasters so it gave me the fear. Doubt I’ll go back to it.

    The SNPs problem is also its raison d'etre, it's a single issue party and right now, that single issue isn't quite as popular as it used to be regardless of the infighting and the sleaze

    Being based "down-south" as we'd call it, I don't have a vote but I can be sure that as much as I'm notionally in favour of self-government for the motherland, the SNP do not reflect my views any more.

    There’s a great video I cannot link here as it was on facebook where TAA makes absolutely no effort to compete for the header when DLC scores Everton’s second goal.

    Absolutely pathetic from him.

    This one?

    You do realise there was a temporary VT outrage when you posted this.

    We were in disbelief.

  6. Not a travel experience as such but it wasn't that long ago that there were all sorts of horror stories about how long it takes to renew passports. I was initially worried as I knew I'd need to renew mine before going to the US in June but was already committed to a few trips this spring. 

    So, on Wednesday last week, I applied for a new passport. On Thursday, I posted them the expiring one. On Friday I got a message saying they'd received both and has started the process. Yesterday morning, my new (blue) passport arrived. Shocked and stunned. 

    The only drawback is I'd promised to take herself to Paris for the weekend and with the passport uncertainty, I thought I was off the hook until much later this year. She's already looking at restaurants now and thinks we are going in May!

    Walked from Elephant Park to Anspach & Hobday a couple of weeks back.

    That route was two shades of moody AF not a million years ago, you didn't hang around.

    I'm like, whoa this has changed. She's cooing at period property with original features.

    Gentrification for the win!

    My OH is in the Butler's Wharf building. All very fancy. She's in for a shock when she moves to mine in Isleworth next year.

    Went to feed the yak tonight in south London

    Good tip. Only a mile or so away from where I am in Bermondsey so will have to check it out at some point.

    It makes more sense for those matches which aren't being televised. You can't watch the match by legitimate means, so the watchalong is the next best thing.

    The thing I don’t get is the presumably london-based guys who are commentating on the match from the gaming chair in the flat. You’re that much of a fan that we should listen to your opinion but you only ever see them on telly. A truly baffling recent development.

    Sort of internet related but does anyone remember Macromedia Dreamweaver? Embarrisngly I made website for our friendship group in sixth form. Think it was hosted on Geocities maybe. Great times. 

    I put together a broking website using Dreamweaver back in the day. I had no knowledge of website building and had to teach myself as I went. My company ran that site for about 5 years, I think. It only died a death when I left and nobody had a clue how it worked. To be fair, neither did I!

    World’s richest man is laying off 10% of Tesla’s employees. He feels awful about it apparently.

     

    Didn’t look too sad last night.

    So it's nearly 2am and i can't sleep because i'm still buzzing off the Arsenal result.

    Work is going to suck tomorrow...

    I’m in the same boat. The only difference is that I work with a bunch of gooners. However tired I am, it’s going to be glorious when I get to work tomorrow.
