Hacking a Facebook account I think might be pushing it, but if we assume the series gives the hunters the full extent of any power the police might have you can probably justify their hacking a social media account. We quite like the series but it's hilarious how bad people are at it, and how much the show sometimes has to pull it's punches to let people have a chance of winning. Like, you're going on the run for a month, with limited cash, and at some point you're going to given an instruction to get to a specific place at a specific time to 'win' - you probably shouldn't go home, use a phone, especially to call close family, go anywhere near a big city or use a major train line, or contact anyone within your direct circle of friends and family. But all they do it. It's completely manufactured. At fist I gave it the benefit of the doubt that it was a bit dramatised but they genuinely were doing what they said they were doing. Now I'm utterly convinced they know exactly where everyone is at all times. They could catch them at any time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All lollipops are packaged in the most un-child friendly way. Sometimes even I cannot open them. I reckon there’s a huge gap in the market for lollys that are not a **** nightmare to open Edited April 4 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Stewart is a Roderick (not that I expect you’ve met him) Given the sheer amount of famous people with either name, they can’t be that uncommon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to see The Faces supported by Long John Baldry in the 70s, and the teenybopper girls annoyingly chanted "Rod-nee! Rod-nee!" all through Baldry's set. His name is Roderick.

We need some extra id checks. You always need to authenticate with your bank before you can make a payment, whatever it is for. Most people use their fingerprint in their bank's app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
