Morning
For the first time since Jesus walked upon Yorkshires mountain green, I have the house to myself. Hurrah! Younglings at school, PM in the office.
Games. Dying Light 2. I now have some binoculars and a Billhook. Beautiful pixels, just a shame I'm always legging it away from zombies to take the time to enjoy.
TV. Episodes 7 & 8 of TLOU rewatch. Note to self: Don't mess with Ellie. YOU VILL LOOZ.
OTTM, nein.

I think the ‘Do Not Disturb’ option just stops calls - though you still get discretely notified they called. There doesn’t seem any way to stop SMS messages while so using data. Put the phone on silent and non-vibrate and turn off message notifications. It won't stop calls or messages, but you won't get disturbed by them. Also tell your sister/ pm (by text) that you are having some personal time at a festival and won't be in touch over the weekend. You will resume not talking to them once the festival is over. Problem sorted. I am here with the pm. I just want to be able to block calls and messages completely. So I can never see they were there. It is to do with my sister really. There was one time in Amsterdam. I was high on de Stoefe… and, at the end of the day I saw a message from my sister, which put me in a funk. What I want really, it to not have a phone, but still be able to use the internet, when ‘on the move’. |

I like this comment:-
Q: What do you call a sheep tied to a lamp-post in Merthyr Tydfil?
A: A leisure centre.

You can block numbers. It might be a bit rude though.
I am not sure you can unblock them later.
I can imagine a certain satisfaction in defining a relative as spam (This is genuinely not a criticism of Shenguin).
Sweet emotional release. Until you have to admit what you have done.
At which point the emotions released at you might be less sweet.

To unblock a number or a contact, navigate to Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts or Settings > Messages > Blocked Contacts. Swipe right to left across the number, then tap Unblock. To unblock a contact directly from your list, go to the Contacts app, tap the person's entry, then tap Unblock this Caller

Chuck your phone in a canal, roll a massive spliff, go and sit in a coffee shop and get caned whilst listening to some jazz.
Nice 👌

Dispatches from the work toilets (not from the work toilets, rather news about the work toilets)
Thrice now I have made entry to the bogs, and started splashing off into a urinal, only to detect a low grunt coming from one of the stalls, all with doors open. Either one of the outlaws has followed me to work, or their dogma is spreading. The last time this happened I noticed one stall had the door ajar, with a toilet brush behind it stopping it from opening completely, grunts emanating from within.
Bit odd.

I went to the Co-Op
They had the salt & chardonnay vinegar crisps.
And I did not get mugged to buy whisky.
A good result.

One does not simply walk into St. Andrew's. Its Blue Gates are guarded by more than just Sheeps. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Shenguin is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly.

Like most clubs you have to buy a ticket from the ticket office. You can't pay at the turnstile these days.
Also it is not nice to mock Shenguin's insomnia like that.
Also we are at the Stadium of Light tomorrow.
I will wave at Tuffers as I pass south Yorkshire in the car. It will be early. Just after 9 a.m. I hope depending on the roadworks at J33-34.
I am expecting to see my people at Wetherby services around 10 am as it is a 12.30 kick off.
On the plus side this means some of the trip back will be in daylight.
I am hoping for a win. I'd be happy with a good performance and a draw.
Or some minor injustice to chew over on the way home.

You should get a song going, mocking Sunderland for getting beaten by Newcastle Central in the race to declare the 2017 general election results first. Maybe something like: Central boys, we are here Woah woah Central boys, we are here Count our postal votes, with no fear Woah ohoh aahhhhh |

How much sleep is needed for a day? 3 hours doesn't feel enough for a 24 hour period.
The only person I knew nearby was chumbles but he was safe as the other control room did Aylesbury.
Today is my Friday and it is also a Friday, unfortunately Friday last till 7am tomorrow so will be working till then.

They're not *quite* as good.. but the Asda extra special Sea Salt & Chardonnay are a decent substitute. The closest Asda is about 4 miles away. I walk past the Co-Op during my 5 minute walk to and from work. That is a big drawback for Asda and a big plus point for the Co-Op. |

A couple landed among the disabled supporters. I don't think it was deliberate. They won't let you take coins upstairs either I had £3 nicked last season. I will either make sure I don't have any coins on me or hide them so I can launch them at the people below. The smoke bombs seem to have largely disappeared this season. A bit disappointing. I know asthmatics and people who think you shouldn't set things on fire in crowds might disapprove, but I quite like them. |

Hello
I read your solutions but they were unworkable.
I could block people from my phone, but my ego needs to sustain the illusion I’m a good person, who would never block a person intentionally.
