I think in the context of the referendum, that’s a very large majority.

It's weird being at home when MrsA is doing her job, as I really don't understand what it is she does other than a very general 'make books happen' level. It seems to be 'being on the phone a lot' and something to do with 'drop box'. I might go and have some bacon waffles and take some clothes to the charity shop.

Potential to move 2 days before Kendall Calling!

Taking the case off your phone and remembering how light and pretty it can be is something I find oddly enjoyable.

Agree. I'm holding out for superlative materials that require no case.
Actually undressing your partner, as we do it similarly infrequently, is even more enjoyable.

I use a case on my iPhone X mostly to stop it falling out of my pocket (some of my shorts have quite low-cut pockets, and I tend to slump, so it can slide out) and so I can tell when I grab it which side is which. Protection from falling damage is only one part of it.

Also, 5/6ths of people think playing Russian Roulette is a fine idea.

My Galaxy S8 has a cracked screen despite having a case, so…

Tbf I dropped it about five times trying to juggle it with Amazon parcels. I've never broken a screen before.

I am currently using an exceptionally skinny and surprisingly expensive case from Pitaka. I needed one with metallic elements to work with my magnetic car mount. I like it a lot. Probably won't go back to a chunky case for a while.

"Supermarket chain Morrisons has introduced a weekly "quieter hour" for autistic shoppers who struggle with music and noise.
Its UK stores will dim lights, turn music off, avoid using the tannoy and turn check-out beeps down on Saturdays from 09:00 to 10:00."

That sounds blissful, regardless of where you are on the autism spectrum!

One has to ask why they don't just keep the checkout beeps turned down all the time. The others I can understand, but no-one other than the checkout operator really needs to hear the beep.

Especially now that Dale Winton's dead.

Smart meters to cut energy bills by just £11, say MPs
Classic stuff. We got one years ago and turned off the monitor after a day because I already knew that I was using more electricity when I put the kettle on, and knowing by how much wasn't going to stop me doing it, or make me feel usefully informed about it. The only advantage is not having to be home when a meter reader calls.

We had a smart meter in the old house, I was quite surprised when someone knocked on the door as they still need to do some kind of physical inspection of the meter.

Being home during the day recently, my electricity usage went through the roof, got a letter from the electric company asking me to do a meter reading and put it in their website.
I took the reading, filled in the field online... And in won't let me submit the reading as apparently the new number must be wrong as it is too high compared to previous usage. There is no option for me to say "yes, this really is my reading". Computer just says no.

One of my Gmail dopplegangers has actually contacted me to apologise that I was sent an email by mistake!

So naturally as I'm hiring, I've asked if he is a full stack java developer from london, as fucking around with my workplace by hiring someone with my own name is too good an opportunity to pass up :D
