I can agree with the rotting hair comment; that is the closes way to describe it. Either that or they keep accidentally catching their dreads when they light up.

I'm not sure if it's the same for your phone/provider... but for me if I go to Data Usage - then Set Limit - it tells me the cycle. If that doesn't work for you, then I guess the next time you get billed, the date of the bill will be the start of your cycle until the next bill.

everyone saying a greasy spoon will be cheaper and better than weatherspoons should provide some evidence because they all still use poo poo sausages and bacon and no chance they're cheaper

There's a great greasy spoon in North Shields called The Cottage Kitchen. For under £3 I got a huge plate of eggs chips and beans, and a pot of tea. Tbf I don't bother with the sausages/bacon normally but the people next to me had some and they actually looked like they were made using meat. You could try it out, since you're local :P

The trouble with that is you have to set foot in North Shields, a place thats best boast is "not quite as populated by mutants as South Shields".

Yeah, it was true about 15/20 years ago, but you'll be lucky now to find a greasy spoon that is either cheap, traditional, quality or not turned into a generic pizza/kebab place.

I can recommend Linda's on Ducie Street if you're in central Manchester.

Nothing like that near where I live now though :(

Though now you've made me remember the girl I used to see around university who had them. She left a wake wherever she walked from people avoiding the smell of what I can only assume was rotting hair.

lmao yes this poo poo, it actually makes me sick. When I was a student I worked with a nurse who had that horrible hair and it triggered me so hard i was glad to leave that placement

Just read an article about the plan for some KFCs and McDs to not serve under-18s to curb staff abuse. Great, now instead of being stopped by teenagers who want me to buy them fags, it'll be:

"Scuse me mate. If I give you a tenna can you go into KFC to grab me and my mates some popcorn chicken."

Staff abuse? What the gently caress?

I also love too when some kid that looks 14 wants me to buy him fags because he "forgot his id". Look, if you aren't gonna pay me for my trouble then you aren't getting anything

It refers to when teenagers with no GCSEs and who live off their parents take the piss out of people with jobs.

Yep. They said they were going to do it and they are now doing it.

I'm sure new proxies will be along in due course.

Definitely seems to be refusing access if you use tunnelbear or unblocker, but people are reporting HMA still works but looks like it'll be taken down soon, Getflix also still works but again, no idea for how long. Very unhappy, was on season 3 of X-Files and had started rewatching Hannibal, neither of which are on British (worst) Netflix. Canadian Netflix is still the best for stuff like that :/



In other grumblings: I really would like a proper cake mixer thing, or a really really really strong hand mixer. Our Heston is good, but I definitely don't want to kill him mixing up biscuit dough and the recipe I made today is tough to mix thoroughly.


vvvv I am not willing to pay that much for Amazon Prime...I'll find them all in an HMV sale or something :)
