I am yes but to be quite honest, I don't understand it. How do people find me?

You find them. It should look at your skills and job history and suggest matches for job vacancies.
Or you put in a in demand job title (like mine) and you get bombarded with stuff.
Thanks for mentioning linkedin; just logged on for the first time in ages and there's a message from someone potentially wanting to work with me

Stuck on a customer site babysitting a project manager. No corporate internet so working of my phone.

Read this court case about people confusing a comedy club with Malia's previous favourite show.
There's plenty of examples like this.
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.

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.
I was expecting you to suggest I get an Iwatch and use Applepay.

I would mercilessly mock them for being a scrounger, though Kern wrote:

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

That's to keep the riff-raff away.

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

People still actually have chequebooks?
People don't know their account number?!

£20 gets you coffe and a sandwich at Pret.
Also, "meeting friends for lunch" sounds like a sit-down affair to me, which is going to cost more.
Also also, under these circumstances I'd borrow more than just lunch money so I'd have a few quid for emergencies like, I dunno, bus fare if something goes wrong.

NatWest have something magic where you tap buttons in the smartphone app, then type some code into a cashpoint, and cash comes out. I think. I've never used it.

They do indeed. I tried it once to see if it worked. It did.

That's not nitpicking, it's literally the opposite of the right word to use.

Look, Cras, this is a very common usage in Wales due to centuries of oppression and lack of investment in education from our English overlords who saw us as fit only for toiling in the mines and followed us around making baa-ing noises. I only escaped after participating in a brutal contest to the death where I almost got killed by Jennifer Lawrence and her bloody longbow. Why the fuck do you think the Pontypool front row were so tough? Training? Don't make me laugh. It's because we grew up under brutal subjugation.Check your privilege, you git.
