Tinned sardines in tomato sauce?

It's full of spider eggs, the baby teeth of orphans and dirt taken from the grave of a hanged man.

Why is there a giant wine bottle on the jetty?

Here's a nice thing.

Weirdly my banks password for online banking doesn’t allow capital letters or £&@“ etc characters. A BANK!?

Coronavirus news! Mrs K's mate from Szechuan province said that the Chinese government has told Chinese travel companies that if people want to cancel their travel over the new year period they must refund them - this is apparently completely unprecedented, so she's convinced this means that the outbreak must be considerably worse than anyone thinks.

We're actually starting to get a little worried about this, as the numbers are already growing at a faster rate than they did during the start of the SARS outbreak in 2002/2003...

It does need a pithy name, though. Bat-virus?

Don't worry about it. If anyone can contain people effectively, it's the CCP

We're being infected by vag-candles?

Although not as terrifying as the deadly bat-virus. Obviously.

I have often wondered why bats don't wake up covered in poo and wee

I mean, we laugh at Gwyneth and her jade froo-froo eggs (but if you're French, one is an oeuf), her vag-candles, her vag-steamers, her overpriced everything, but jesus she's raking it in. She must be doing something right. it's terrifying, frankly.

Also, does a mask actually do anything? It doesn't for a cold as I understand it.

Broadly, yes it does, but it doesn't provide complete protection.

Last week someone quoted me £303 to replace a part in my boiler. I've just had someone else do the job for £175 so it pays to shop around. Still annoyed at having to spend £175 on it though...

Just signed up with Virgin Mobile and hmmmm. Your account password is subject to the usual stuff about needing lowercase letters, uppercase stuff and numbers but it needs to be between 6 and 10 characters. So you literally can't have a password longer than 10 characters! What in the actual fuck? Your secondary information thing has to be between 6 and 20 characters. So fuck you if, for instance, your mother's maiden name is 5 characters or the name of your first school is more than 20. How is this a thing from a major company in this day and age?

Why does Chinese New Year mean my mate Si has to clean things? He is from Hong Kong for some form of context. I nodded. He goes to clean his ancestors' graves ,too at certain times of the year.

It's because Lunar New Year marks the end of the winter, so it's basically end of the year/spring cleaning. Also, you need to clean BEFORE LNY, because if you clean in the first couple of days after then it sweeps away the good fortune from the mess of firecrackers, red paper etc. Fun fact we discovered during our first LNY a couple of years back was that you mustn't put decorations up in fours, as 4 is associated with death (the word "4" and the word "death" sound very similar in Mandarin), so it's super bad luck. A very friendly neighbour helped us out there

And China's tendency to be a little economical with the truth on these things is probably going to cause issues again (as it did at the start of the SARS outbreak). The virus already got into various countries in the area, and is now able to be transmitted from person to person, so I think we can expect to have to move the "OUTBREAK" counter along once or twice in the coming weeks.

It's usually because the passwords are not case sensitive - in at least one case (HSBC), a password I entered which was a mixture of uppercase/lowercase letters wouldn't work when entered into their app, I had to convert it all to lowercase when I entered it.
