Oh right - "few" == 3 in my head.

84,000ish, then.

I'm trying to get an accountant today.

"Do you do solicitors accounts?" I ask. "Yes" they reply. "Oh joy, because I need an audited set of accounts because I hold client monies" I exclaim. "We don't do those" is the reply from at least four accountants.

Scumbags.

Also: hnnnngh.

The number of wasps I have killed today has just doubled. It's now 2.

Its an increasing problem. SAR accounts (and others) require accountants to be registered auditors, but the increasingly low numbers of statutory audits means that a lot of small accountants have dropped their audit registration as the potential income doesn't cover the cost (and associated risk). Even when I was doing audit SARs were a pain in the tits.

We can do them, but we'll be too expensive (Canary Wharf innit) and I can't do mates rates on audit. Where are you based, I may have some contacts?

Quite a tall one too.

It's just a short bin, isn't it? I assume that's what the crudely drawn lower half of naked Slender Man is meant to illustrate.

85cm is about 34". Looking at the axle if that drawing, he must have about an extra 6" of inner seam measurement, barefoot to go. So he must have an inseam of about 40"+, which is massively tall.

What is it with this forum and bins?

IT'S NOT EVEN BIN TALKING DAY!

It's something to do with the "who is online" box. I'll fix it!

(52 of those are probably spiders, of course)

No idea why the dimensions of this bin are best understood by positioning it next to a drawn naked eunuch,

It was a bank holiday this week, so different schedules apply.

Goodness, maybe the fact that it appears to have 55 guests. Huh.

Why all the guests, what've we done?

It turns out we're getting somewhat hammered by an IP that originates from this server host: https://www.linkedin.com/company/b2-net-solutions

We may be under a really, really crappy DDOS attack. Or it may be like that time the Google robot went insane and started trying to cache the entire site once every second.

I think Grim... was just using the linkedin site to point to the company, b2netsolutions (or ServerMania) rather than suggesting it was a linkedin host.

52,660 requests since midnight. Huh.

I mentioned us on the twitters yesterday in conversation with a local radio DJ, but I doubt his followers would continue to be interested this long after.

Another Tesco cock up!

Yesterday our shopping was delivered but it was a couple of minutes late. Turns out the van had broken down so the freezer wasn't working properly. The delivery driver apologized and promptly refunded half of the goods in our shopping!

They're all still fine and only as defrosted as they would have been if we'd actually visited the store.

They wouldn't be able to guarantee the van temperature of the chilled delivery, which is a health and safety issue. It will be very much part of the trading law standards that they acted in the way they did. Buying from the store, you are in charge of ensuring that the food stays within safe temperature bounds on the way home, if Tesco can't assure this with the van print outs then they can't sell it.

We have the same with many deliveries to stores: there has to be a constant temperature read to prove that the food was kept within bounds at all times.

Except aren't they actually doing very badly at the moment?
