I *may* have set off a speed camera doing 32 in a 20 zone somewhere round the back of Surrey Fuckin Quays
*sigh* I thought it was a 30 zone.

Oh well, I managed to have a clean licence for A Surprisingly Long Time (for me Laughing )

The problem with having the windows open in the summer (in London, at least) is that the smell of other people's houses waft in your window.

I can smell my next door neighbour's fag-drenched wallpaper smell
*puke* Puke

Chances are, my patchouli and skunk smell is wafting into hers, but she's not here to bitch about it, is she. Laughing

She was, but got so embarrassed at your description of her and her Eau de Parfume that she has gone to Mumsnet to bitch about you Wink

websites that don't have full functionality 24/7

like DVLA not letting me say I'd sold a vehicle, when I went to update it in the small hours.

Or an insurer not allowing me to upload documents between 10pm and 7am

I bought an LG K8 duel sim. Fabulous, 2 sim card slots, Android 7, all is good in the world. Spent ages downloading apps, setting it up, activated Google pay after a 40 minutes wait to talk to my bank. Everything is wonderful, except it's not. Went to try out Google pay, bought something at Tesco, held the phone next to the scanner and nothing, no bleep no rejected sound no nothing. Went into settings to toggle NFC only to find MY version of the K8 doesn't have NFC. A 2017 build phone with no NFC. WTF! not happy, it's something I need.

Is life so fast paced that you don't have time to type in a PIN number?

No. I travel within London a lot for work. Bus's don't take anything other than wireless tap or Oyster, tube etc, it's a convenience.

Sorry but I'd have been sacked for laughing at you.
Conversely, I get miffed if a shop doesn't have contactless terminals.

That is quite a surprise, most banks have contactless as standard.

Personally I only use cards, I refuse to use phone payments, not much use when you get your phone stolen which in London is a high probability.

I am proud to say I have but one card, that allows me to draw out real notes from a hole in the wall, so I pay for everything with actual cash money.

I hadn't used cash in so long that I saw my first of the new tenners just three days ago; didn't even know they'd been issued.
But it's ok, I'm not saying that makes me better than you Smile

That wasn't Tesco's Bletchley a few days ago was it? I was behind someone who did exactly that.

Me and the till man sniggered Laughing

Given your pin is stored with seriously shit encryption on the card... Not really. 3DES is dead, but still a great way to store a pin on a card Rolling Eyes

Won this chain for a bargain price

https://i.imgur.com/V0aNqm2.png


Just had confirmation from Hermes that they have lost it, the 3rd fucking thing they've lost in the past few months. Everything that has been couriered through them has been lost or 'delivered' without them showing up.


What makes it worse is I could do with a new chain, my bike feels like it's sputtering sometimes on the motorway, I've got a track day booked next week as well. My current chain stretches more than any I've seen before and is missing an o ring.

Finally to buy a decent chain is going to cost a lot, don't want another fucking stretchy quick pin piece of shit Sad


I also had to stay late for work to lock up after the air conditioning guy was 45 minutes longer than he said he'd be. What's worse is we don't even have air conditioning in the office.

Triple DES is gradually being superseded by AES but if implemented correctly, is still a valid and secure algorithm. DES is dead but not 3DES.
PIN hashing isn't just 3DES anyway, and given the failed attempt lockout, it's not really possible to brute force the system.

I had to google what NFC stood for... Shifty

But now that I know what it is ... I might just rush out and buy one of them K8 phones cos what I want is a phone that has all the whistles and bells except that one. And I have an LG at the moment, which I had for over 3 years and I like it, but which the battery is fucked on, so I need a new one.

I don't want to pay with my phone.
I don't want to swap data from my phone to someone else's.
I just want a phone that's reasonably priced and has everything on it.

Cool Thumbs Up

Can't you just get the battery replaced?

You go in the shop and all these wide-boy Asian boys go "You need the new Snazzophone, only £250million - with easily repayable instalments on the Ridiculously Expensive Tariff.

So I just thought I'd go to Tesco and get another one.
Where does one buy "just batteries" for (for example) an LG G4?
No, no ... I'll let you google that for me.
Cos I'm going to be late for work (again) if I do it now Laughing
