I think enough people were - I clicked through and got a “we’re busy, try again in 5 minutes” error.

Can’t really do it properly until I get my P60 anyway. And wait for the non-Monzo banks to catch up with their interest certificates.

Hope everyone had a nice Easter!.

I just got back from Jersey from seeing my Parents. Nice to be back on the mainland. Doesn’t feel like the stone age :laughing:

Happy Easter! Don’t knock it… What I’d do to turn back the clock. That said, I did buy myself an old non-smartphone handset a while ago and went (almost) a week trying to live pre 2000s.

It was nice, but then realised everything we have these days is designed to keep us here :face_holding_back_tears:. There’s no going back. Unless you’re from nice places that have resisted change and know no different!

Jersey been on to visit list for a while. Anything you’d recommend?

Guernsey.

Having just checked in for my return journey using the Android app, I now have an ‘add to Google Wallet’ button. Guess what? It doesn’t work!

(What I can do is screenshot the PDF version, and add it manually, which is a nifty feature.)

I can’t really speak for Android as I never use it!

Is anyone else here suffering from a disease of buying domain names?
I have 39 so far. None for sale. I just think of a coll name, or a weird one, few days later it is on Cloudflare invoice.

I used to, and had many plans to put them to use too, but I’ve let the vast majority expire now.

I used some few for my own projects. One for my custom email domain, my kids have their names too, same as for wife. I have the .uk and .com variants. Others are just myu ideas.

I thought I was, having 5 domains, until

I feel so much better now.

I feel a bit sorry for those who prefer warm sunny weather.

After a fairly dull, damp winter some warmer sunnier weather is forecast, along with a warning that this is further evidence of global warming and to make sure to stay safe in the sun!

I’m glad I prefer dull cloudy weather; at least I can enjoy it guilt free and without having to slather my skin in chemicals just to stay alive.

Stay safe, everyone!!!

I really dislike summer, or at least the heat anyway.

Much prefer the cool seasons, and throw a jumper on to warm a bit if I need to.

Summers the best. I wish it was forever summer.

Me too, I loved it a few years ago when it was 40c :joy:

It was glorious, although it being a harbinger of climate catastrophe I am less jazzed about tho…

:hushed_face: still need SPF in the cloud!

I’m with you on the weather though. I don’t do heat!

Same. Also with holidays, I prefer cold destinations.

I generally start moaning at 25C (pathetic, I know).
