    The 5th Crowdsource Deathlist (2020 edition)

    Surely that amount of boobage didn't require three straps.

    Kettering? Am I missing a double entendre here?

    Nectar, and they can take Sainsburys with them. Recently Nectar fucked up relaunched their website and their app, with the result that I, along with many others, found myself unable to log in to either. "Sorry, we're having a problem registering your card at the moment" "Oops, looks like there's a problem. It's not you, it's us" Followed by invitations to ring their friendly helpline, etc etc. I've been trying for FIVE FUCKING WEEKS to get this sorted out, because Sainsburys are about to have their annual DoubleUp promotion in which Nectar points are worth double their face value. And unlike previous years, you can't swap your Nectar points for the necessary vouchers in store this time. Only online. And I can't get online. After many many conversations with their friendly but useless staff - on the helpline, the chatline, and Facebook - all telling me that "the IT team are working on the problem and will be in touch" (they never did) - plus a trip into Sainsburys which got me nowhere, plus emails to Sainsburys which only elicit stock replies proving the emails weren't read (seriously, the whole thing could be solved by issuing vouchers instore to those people who are having problems getting online) .... I HAD AN IDEA "If I applied for another card," I asked, "Is it possible to transfer the points from the old card?" "Oh yes, no problem", came the reply. So those morons have been sitting on this simple solution for weeks while people have been tearing their hair out in frustration. Because that worked. Just got to hope nothing else goes wrong before I can cash in my points next week. After that it'll be to Nectar and Sainsburys. I've lost the will to live.
  5. Not sure if this belongs in here, but a meeting with Homes England* over a housing development in a village near me has been postponed until after the election. Someone on Facebook enquired whether this announcement came from a "credible source". I couldn't resist. * in case anyone is unaware, this warm fluffy name conceals a Government department lurking underneath.
  6. I'm even lower down than you. I don't pick FFBI, but seem to be stuck with FWWD.

    Probably not difficult to work it out

    As I have made a somewhat libellous comment, I'd better not say openly. You may PM me your guesses if you wish

    My MP has avoided any such embarrassment by not seeking re-election. He was straight back up Boris's arse after his little protest, mind.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    I couldn't read it because of the paywall, but Corbyn can't be that bad if Bliar doesn't like him.

    He won't go unless he wants to. He's retired, so he doesn't have to.

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2020

    We've seen enough pap shots of dishevelled morning-after celebs lurching to the corner shop. I daresay he scrubs up well enough when he needs to. He might have been letting his hair grow for a role, but it could just be personal choice. It's really just the shorts that are odd, if he was wearing trousers he would look a bit tidier.

    I thought this was going to be a "down-and-out ex-soap actor" story, but IMDB shows he's still pretty busy.

    Did you pay any fucking attention to what I wrote? I have an interest in the racing community. Why would I want to ignore the thread?

    Can we keep this thread to humans and notable horses, please? There are hundreds of racehorses in training within a few miles radius of where I live. I daresay most weeks one or two die of some illness or misadventure. Shit happens. They are delicate creatures.

    That is not the case at all. There had been comments in her thread about the silence. Her family chose not to announce her death immediately, and that was their prerogative.

    Interesting Ways To Die...

    While we're here, an illustration of the use of a pointless phrase. Twice. Lee Salmon, from Great North Air Ambulance, said: "There are case studies which suggest that at this moment in time the gentleman could still be alive. So at this moment in time it's still a rescue." Hmm, let's try this. Lee Salmon, from Great North Air Ambulance, said: "There are case studies which suggest that the gentleman could still be alive. So it's still a rescue."
