That's just masochism. I, and everyone else in my office, routinely work from home for all sorts of reasons so I'm not going to make my life harder by forcing myself into town when I've got a stinking hangover.

BBC: 'Social media age limits 'ignored by most youngsters'. I bet they don't read software licence agreements or pay attention to BBFC age ratings either.

Cripes. Neighbour over the road from us died and his wife is in hospital with stage to Cancer. Other neighbours are pulling together as "the house is in a state" and have been working loads to clean it all up.

You find them. It should look at your skills and job history and suggest matches for job vacancies.

Read this court case about people confusing a comedy club with Malia's previous favourite show.

Quote:
...worked on the club floor of the Oxford venue from April 2010 to February 2011. He explained that, when standing outside the club, he was often asked by customers of the Wahoo bar whether the Glee Club had anything to do with the glee TV show. He continued that, even after he had explained that the Oxford venue was a comedy club, he got the impression that members of the public still thought it was connected in some way to the glee TV show. ...
I accept once again that the value of this evidence is diminished because it is far from clear which factors were operating in the minds of those members of the public to whom Mr J refers. But it is, I think, of note that Mr J encountered a measure of resistance from members of the public when the true position was explained to them. Moreover, none of this evidence was challenged.


There's plenty of examples like this.

It's Valentines night, and from three doors down I can hear the very loud strains of "Oh Fortuna". I think the child of Satan is being conceived.

Gah. Was looking forward to having lunch with friends but just realised I've left my wallet at home. Trying to find a wording for a text message to back out of this that doesn't sound like I'm suggesting they sub me.

What's wrong with "I'm a moron who forgot my wallet, can I lend £20 please?"

FWIW, if I was having lunch with a mate who'd forgotten his wallet, I'd lend him the money for lunch without even thinking about it. I don't think that's a big ask.

Actually, £20 for lunch? £3 gets you a sarnie, bottle of pop and some crisps at FreshCo. What's the other £17 for?

Can you not get to a bank? You can generally get money out without ID if you walk in with your account number and ready to answer security questions.

Yeah, I've cashed cheques before, but don't have my book on me today and can't remember my account number. I can remember my old ICQ address from the 1990s however.
It's all sorted - my friends have agreed to sub me and know where I live. I probably shouldn't go for the most expensive option though :)
