@Pete_the_painter: If you’re still looking for the grooviest shirt in Dandom, it’s also on Instagram. Just search for @retrobluevibes

In my case, that should say: Yes there’s soup on the shiiiiirt! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I must try that some time, I’m up for a new experience, for my benefit which end do you light? :0)

I’m afraid I don’t have an Instagram account, I’ll see if one of the kids do. Thanks :+1:

Doh, my daughter told me I could just Google it. She’s in IT and obviously thinks I’m a luddite. Anyway found them thank you.

Am I the only one that hates having unsubscribe to something I’ve never subscribe to in the first place. Had a text argument with gambling site that bombs me with up to 10 junk emails a day, having been the victim of cyber scam I’m reluctant to hit any unknown link but it’s the only way to stop the junk.

It’s not your day…

No my company was scammed a few years ago for over $110k luckily our bank tracked it down and we got it all back. Took 3 months though, but it does make you cautious especially regarding junk mail.

Thank goodness it’s Friday

In 2 days time. :scream:

I’m hitting the snooze button now.

Thought you must hit the snooze button on the forum.

It’s safest to filter out such messages. That’s easy to do with most email programs, including gmail. As I’m sure you know, the “click to unsubscribe” is an old trick guaranteed to bring you mountains of spam.

I’m confused by the lockdown rules. According to the BBC new website , Tier 2 rules include these two rules:
Weddings, civil partnerships and receptions can take place once more, with up to 15 guests.

Weddings and civil partnership ceremonies cannot take place except where one of those getting married is seriously ill and not expected to recover. These weddings are limited to six people.

So make sure that you include a reception, then you can do it.

I’m going to check out which Australian wines my supermarket has.

Good idea apparently the Chinese don’t want them, they’re just placed a 200% tariff on all wines.

Yup, thats why. The choice at my supermarket is low, but I hope to find something. Otherwise I might find something online or at the city nearby.

There’s coal ships parked all the way up the coast (we’re just south of our biggest coal port) as there’s also a “quality” issue with our coal as well. They’re really punishing us for speaking out.

We have these issues with the Russians. UK and Russia have many things in common and one of them is that they import loads of fruit and vegetables from us, The Netherlands. Every now and then Russia starts to complain about the quality and somehow this is related to politics / culture.

It happens and the lesson is to be not too reliant on a limited set of customers / countries.

Regarding China, we get every now and then adverts in newspapers from their friendly ambassador who likes to correct our misunderstandings. I find these things hilarious and have a good laugh.
