I spent quite a long time last night on the (mobile) phone to my sister-in-law while she was waiting on the other line to speak to her bank's fraud department because she almost fell for a scam. To our Scottish contingent, if you get a text message supposedly from the NHS informing you about your proof of vaccination, that directs you to a website where you have to pay £4.95, this is just BabyF trying to blag 12 million quid.
Thanks Tids, very kind. If I ever get any time to drive the fucker that is.
Christmas shopping mostly finished. A few things to order online and that should be me. I wandered down to Debenhams this morning and as I was halfway along Argyll At went, "oh, yeah..."
Clown.
Apparently I've needed a hearing aid longer than I realised.
When you send me the £12m I will send it straight back to you.
Hang on, hang on, I'm not having that. I thought we'd agreed Tids was the online scammer and baby was old school cheque fraud? Though it does sound like he's trying to get up the chain with an audacious pre Xmas payout.
BabyFark is identity fraud, online scams, fraudulent accounting… pretty much anything illegal that isn’t full-blown violence.
On other matters, apart from Sheep's vast amount of information, Pref.Mam. has just bought* tickets for "West Side Story"** as an early birthday present.
So I can show this again***.
*Well I paid for them due to PM being strangely rubbish at computers when it suits them. **New Steven Spielberg version. ***Debatable logic.
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
The child has just burst some fucking squishy toy all over the couch and herself. Some random Chinese semi-liquid stuff staining the fucker. The couch I mean. The child can be stained forever as far as I'm concerned as a life lesson. Fucks sake.
Apparently I've needed a hearing aid longer than I realised.
A man just got in the tube train I was on, walked up to another man, and seemed to start interviewing him. Did they know each other? I couldn’t say. Maybe the job was teaching? Or security? (internal and external).
Very strange.
Now we’ve got a car from one of these not-police security firms cruising round the block. Who are they? They look like police, they drive round like police. But they’re not police.
As it’s BDT I’ve been paying tribute to the legendary Bill Werbeniuk.
Some of Werbeniuk's most famous feats of drinking include: 76 cans of lager during a game with John Spencer in Australia in the 1970s; 43 pints of lager in a snooker match/drinking contest against Scotsman Eddie Sinclair in which, after Sinclair had passed out following his 42nd pint, Werbeniuk was reported to say "I'm away to the bar now for a proper drink"; 28 pints of lager and 16 whiskies over the course of 11 frames during a match against Nigel Bond, in January 1990 – after which Werbeniuk then consumed an entire bottle of Scotch to "drown his sorrows" after losing the match.
