My mum's phone is working again! Just in time for her birthday! Result! (only took them about a month)
Edit: is it true that Deutsche Telekom has the contract for running the UK's world-beating Covid 'track-and-trace' system? Might explain a few things.

I thought it was SERCO, but that may just have been the people manning the lines. |

Morning all. Early start for me today - I went and had a vasectomy this morning. In at 8:00, out by 8:25 I was meant to get one, but got a stay of execution when the virus hit. Was it mostly pain free? Are you relatively comfortable? I didn't fee any pain at all while undergoing the procedure. I was absolutely fine until about an hour after. That's when the intense discomfort kicked in. Ibuprofen appears to be helping now, though. |

How we miss scubar's old employer Carillion in all of this. |

Hello.
My current usual Thursday in the office.
Not many folk about which is nice.
Games. No. *Sigh* perhaps tonight.
TV. Life in Pieces (including the episode posted above)
Books. Some random detective thing which I now realise halfway through I've read before.
Mac n cheese for dinner tonight from MrsC's mum.
Still sunny and hot here.
Ok. Hot for here.

Used Epicgamer sounds pretty disreputable

All this in return for accepting a completely free game from those greedy Epic capitalist. If I get the chance later I'll give it a go. I wasn't refusing to use it, just annoyed with myself for assuming it was on Steam for free. That said I have a backlog of games to get through. Fallout 4 with the DLC and the Skyrim DLC. |

I spent the morning playing Skyrim. It acted as a wonderful escape from the discomfort.
Ibuprofen worked better, mind.
I've then spent the rest of the afternoon on my Amiga, going through more games.
Hot news: Hired Guns works.

I take it that is a game, and not a pet name for part of your bruised anatomy?
Either way, sounds as if congratulations are in order.

Sounds like a real kick in the balls. ftfy And you paid for that, amipal? You could have done it yourself with a fretsaw, á la Ranulph Ffienes. (Although perhaps you're not quite that insane.) Or you could surely have got someone to do it for you*; in any event should have taken the camera for some sweet content...  *Surely there would have been a lot of volunteers
Mind you you're very brave posting about it; I've always resisted the urge to post about my colonoscopies; they are enough of a pain in the arse without subjecting myself to stupid posts like this one |

Amipal,
Ironically I was going to ask you about the gun nut perk and whether you need all the ranks in it. I'll leave it.
