HDS 224 Posted June 30, 2023 What‘s an American publication that’s comparable to the Daily Mail? In terms of similar coverage and reputation/accuracy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,013 Posted July 5, 2023 Lol I just received a warning for an obit from today that I posted on my home Facebook deadpool - an obit (link) I copied/pasted from HERE! What the hell do you think it coulda been? It was t a video (they’ll delete for copyright). Edit: Never mind - upon further review they took down a post from 5 months ago lol so it could have been from anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 14,847 Posted September 6, 2023 Can anyone recommend a simple online appointments calendar? Not a mobile app. I used to have a really good one called Reminderfox, but it got withdrawn. Since then I've been using Google Calendar, but I've never liked it much. Now it's announced that all my "reminders" are going to be reclassified as "tasks" - not acceptable. "Aunty Joan's birthday" is not a task FFS, it's a reminder. I don't need a fancy office one or a communal family one. All I want is a place to record appointments (eg dentist), events (eg gigs), and reminders. Reminders being things like birthdays, when to cancel a subscription, take a meter reading etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 14,847 Posted September 6, 2023 I don't need to remind myself of my own birthday At the moment, because I have ignored the instruction to change the birthday reminders into "tasks", Google Calendar is showing them ALL on TODAY's date. Diabolical liberty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commtech Sio Bibble 1,368 Posted January 2 Does anyone have any idea as to when the GRO index is going to be updated for 2022? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're already on there - if you go into 'inspect element' and change the year of death to 2022 then they'll show up. The index has lots of hidden features accessible with inspect element - like searching by date of birth, date of death, age at death, etc. Never understood why they actually have all this data on the website if it's hidden - presumably to get folk to spend money on actual certificates to find this data? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,143 Posted January 6 Whilst I fully support the Sub-postmasters and postmistresses, does the Met Police now only investigate crimes after watching ITV dramas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would have been a great post in the Coppers thread! So knowing nothing of this, after reading your link is the scandal that 700 postmasters somehow conspired to cheat the system (as if), or that they were wrongly sentenced etc?

Essentially a computer problem was registering shortfall in end of day figures in post office. When the postmasters reported faults they were told they were the only ones and they would be responsible for shortfalls. When they repeatedly complained the auditors were called in which led to postmasters being suspended and taken to court for theft. It now seems likely that the Post Office knew there was an issue with their systems but prosecuted anyway, effectively defrauding postmasters of their own money. The point of my post is this is something which has largely been known about for years yet, like with other issues, the MET police are now only investigating after presumably watching it in the television… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bentrovato 998 Posted January 25 What happens if all 50 on the list die by the end of March? Nine months left but nothing to do. Is there a new list or does the site implode? Asking for a bored hitman friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering our best result is 20/50 I think even if the committee picked 50 members on a nonagerian skydiving team there wouldn't be a full house of hits There are also plenty of other games to keep us occupied In addition the committee could compile a list of 100 names for the following year and then see what can be extorted from various celebrities to keep them off the next year's list 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
