I’m bloody annoyed: I forgot to pay a bridge toll of £2 at the start of the month. Fair enough that’s on me, I expect some sort of punitive charge for it.
But the notice I got for £27 is the £2 toll plus £25 expenses and administration fee. At least have the balls to tell me you’re finjng me for my forgetfulness rather than dress it up as some sort of processing fee, Ticketmaster style 😒
I’ve had a mysterious credit card charge from Patreon of £3.60, and I have no paid for Patreons at the moment 🤨🤔

Oh, I just had a 50% laugh/50% nightmare moment imagining the state of IT (and, by extension *waves hand*…everything) if all the ND infosec professionals were to suddenly disappear 😂😱

I know you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, jump to conclusions based on appearances, yada yada yada….but would you just look at this absolute self-facilitating media node 😬
I know this is short notice and *kinda* niche, but would anyone be interested in a pair of tickets for Jazz Sabbath at Peggy’s Skylight in Nottingham tomorrow night?
They’re standing for the 9:30-10:30 show. The show’s sold out, and I’d like face value (£20 each) for the tickets. My partner and I are going, but not the other couple these were bought for.

lol, if it’s only detecting a “minor” irregularity in my conversations with @DJDarren one of us isn’t trying hard enough 😂
@DJDarren my #thePlaylistSuggestion submission for the week:
XTC - Love on a Farmboy’s Wages

A bed(ding plant) suggestion:

(I have just checked my library, and I have 34 different versions of this song 😂)

The cowards didn’t want to put Throbbing Gristle down for East Yorkshire 😏
This is a work of genius 😎

*stress* 🤯
RAAAHHGG!!
Blooming old people, technology and banking. What an absolutely apocalyptic mix.
My dad seems to have narrowly avoided being phished tonight, but no thanks to his local police fraud prevention, who sent him a OTP and asked him to read it out to them over the phone 🤦♂️
The initial phish was “your TV license direct debit is due to expire. Please goto this website and set up a new one”. His bank were on it, though. +1 for Capital One.
Been getting a loooot of spam calls from mobile numbers recently, telling me to add them on WhatsApp for a job offer.
Dunno why the sudden uptick. What breach was my mobile number included in recently? 🤔
Pizza in the oven, listening to Steve Reich, and reading Cold War spy novels. Not a terrible Saturday night.

If there’s one positive thing you can say about Liz Truss, it’s that she makes Nadine Dorries look like a cogent, informed, well-adjusted individual.
Attitudes towards AI aside, am I the only one seeing the irony of the language used in these two conflicting sentences? 😀

One for the Neighbours fans with long memories…

Man, this one’s good on The Big Headphones. It’s one of those recordings that has all sorts of details and different sounds that pick up depending on what equipment you’re listening on.
@DJDarren well, that ended rather abruptly! Didn’t even give Feeder chance to finish 😳
@DJDarren you are correct, sir: always a pleasure to hear the mighty Deacon Blue.
And I got tickets to see them next year doing one of the trendy “let’s play a whole album” tours. Raintown, my favourite, next October.
