To me that looked like it’s someone with zero personality pretending they do have personality. So the whole house is plain and then the couch where they take video calls is full colour to fool people into thinking they’re normal. Then when the video call ends they go back to being a robot.

I don't understand why there's a massive sofa in the gym area.

I don’t think we have a thread of weird Rightmove listings, but I love looking at them, so here’s a good’un:

My friend at work posted this link, that his Sister was looking at, until they saw Street View.

hmm, they've removed the streetview link, you can still get there by clicking on the map, and then dragging the yellow man to the place.

Or you can click this link, if you are lazy: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.0014722 ... 312!8i6656

"America Lane".

The jokes just write themselves, folks.

If this is your new principle, tonight's going to be much quieter than usual.

What a world we live in... I've just had an email from my printer telling me that my debit card expires at the end of this month.

Keeping you in the black.

No

Blu-ray on its own is HD, 4k Blu-ray, is a separate (more expensive) thing (that can usually play normal Blu-ray disks)

You’d need a PS5 to play 4K Blu-ray disks

Dear Mr Taylor,
Soon, when you’re shopping online and want to pay with your debit or credit card, we’ll need to check it’s really you making the payment. We can do this with you through:
• Mobile Banking app - you’ll be automatically prompted if you use our Mobile Banking app
• Giving you a passcode - we’ll use the phone number we have for you.
Keeping you and your accounts safer
All UK card issuers are adding in this extra security check for some online payments, and we’re starting this from June. It’s to help protect you from online fraud when you’re shopping or banking online. By using our Mobile Banking app, your mobile phone or landline, you’ll be able to quickly and securely confirm to us it's you when you want to buy something online

I can see the sense, but it does sound a pain - I don't walk to the shops with my phone. And in summer, without a coat pocket to tuck the great lump into, it's one more hassle.

It won't be for all transactions, just some.

When they first started bringing all this in a couple of years back I had text from my bank as I walked out the supermarket. "was this you? reply yes" etc... Next text said "you haven't been charged for this transaction, please wait 10 mins and try again".
I was standing in the car park, with 2 bags of shopping in a hand and a receipt that said I had paid...

1st November for me.

I'd prefer earlier.

BUT

You do get the opportunity of scooping up discount Halloween decorations if it's after the actual day.

Is this for a real thing or are you just thinking again, Malc?
