I had a letter yesterday offering me an appointment for another Covid jab. I politely refused.

A nurse from the surgery just turned up at my door a couple of weeks ago. She just expected me to accept it.
Like you I politely refused it.
Have something else, let the curry marinate overnight and have it tomorrow. It'll taste even better.
Not tomorrow as I am on a full roast but I think you are right to let it marinate. Curry is always better the next day.

That's only with our mods
Yeah - and our mods are quite nice - mostly
a forum that I used to frequent when I was doing a lot of IT Technician stuff had some really strict mods
One was a proper witch - and her husband was a warlock
so taking liberties with them was rather more risky than getting a 2 day ban!!!!

Just been shoping at Tesco, the old scan as you shop routine.
At the checkout I was flagged for a full trolley check. I wasn't best pleased, but fine, it happens.
The young lass comes across, most apologetic and asks if id been scanned before and had found an item that hadn't been scanned.
"Nope."
So she started unloading and scanning. It was clear she would have liked me to repack the bags but I didn't oblige - if Tesco want to empty my bags they can blummen well re pack them.
So im idly stood there staring idly into the middle distance when I spy a woman who looked familiar. Sure enough, a well-known shoplifter from my old coppering days, a heroin user that stole for subsistence and to fund her habit. Older and thinner, but definitely her. She briskly walked past staring dead ahead, making a point of not making any eye contact with staff, bulky coat bulging with booty. Out the store she went.
I said nothing. If they want to waste time trolley checking a retired copper instead of paying close attention to an extremely prolific and very well known shoplifter then thats Tesco's problem.

Totally agree, those sites take ‘ clickbate’ to a whole new level. ☹️
I can't remember the last time I saw an ad on my phone. I use Start Page as my search engine and have Adguard and 1Blocker installed
