A flawed feature.
Many people are already having similar issues like above due to it.

my early Gmail accounts had terrible and embarrassing addresses that teenage Fillip thought were hilarious/cool. In reality they were so cringe :joy:

My gmail is first.last and I get emails about someone in the US (relating to politics) and another in South Africa. I signed up to gmail when it came out and was quick to get the first.last name. I think someone with my name just uses the gmail to avoid getting spam email to their real address.

For those who collect Avios. British Airways has just announced a devaluation. This time impacting solely the cash element of redemptions.

Everything increasing by at least 10% up to 33%.

I’m done with this hot weather in Somerset. Had to sit 2 exams in this heat today :sob::smiling_face_with_tear:

I hate the heat, and summer.

I think 23 degrees counts as warm, not hot. Semantics I know.

Going to be 32 here on Monday but it’ll make a nice change from literally shivering these past couple of weeks.

Went to a Greggs yesterday and asked for two sausage rolls.

They didn’t have any so I tried two chicken rolls instead; I mean, what could go wrong?

Absolutely vile. Think warmed up chicken pate. Felt ill for the whole afternoon.

That’s what could go wrong.

Anyone else had a “Never again” moment recently?

I ordered lemon sole to take away the other day. The first time I had a lemon sole in a restaurant, I did tell myself not to bother with flat fish (way too much bone) ever again and somehow forgot the lesson.

Had a bone stuck in my throat, thought I was going to :skull:, luckily the veg swept it away.

Had the chicken ones before and first time it was nice but second two times not so much. First time they’d only just come out so probably why tasted ok.

Some kid in one of my classes had a full on meltdown over dinosaurs today. Was disrupting my whole lesson. Once we finally got him to put the dinosaurs in the bag he just went to something else. The class manager ended up taking him out and speaking to his father, but she couldn’t get any work done because he’s just always moving.

Then when I went back to the office, my pod leader told me that he ran into her class looking for the dinosaurs. The class manager came into my last lesson of the day to ask me if I took them off him but… he actually put them into his bag himself. No idea what happened to them, but he basically ruined my second class of the day and then succeded in throwing a class he didn’t even attend off course.

I will lose my mind if any of the other parents complain about that class
