It appears my non-existent Netflix account has been suspended...

So the scammers have gone from Amazon and Ebay to Netflix!
How long before they`ll be trying it on with Evans cycles or the like!

Non-payment?

I haven't paid for my non-existent Netflix account either. Mind, it hasn't been suspended yet....

You'll be suspended next!

Yes, there is a link where I can go an make payment...

They may be too busy suspending others' non-existent accounts first and I'll be able to continue not watching Netflix in peace.

I'd withhold payment until your service is restored.

I'm getting e-mails promising free toilet paper samples, worth £50.

If the samples are worth £50, how much is a roll worth?

I think it's time to say goodnight and hit the sack.

l associate tea with being ill, l lived and worked in rural China (for rural read primitive ) and occasionally l became unwell , l won't upset your delicate western constitutions by elaborating on the reasons . Suffice to say that tea was the only "medicine" available .

I had similar issues when working in the Jordan Valley..
Black tea and liquid morphine was the 'cure', inasmuch as you stayed hydrated but really couldn't care less 😉

yesterday I finally made it thru all the work emails that built up after taking 3 days off last week. got 2 more days to take off this week. should be fun when I get back. to quote Carroll O'Connor's character (Marty O'Reilly) in the romcom Return to Me: "I'm blessed to have work"

I've got that to look forward to on Saturday morning - a 7 day build up of work related emails, one or two of which may actually be related to my work area. The temptation is to just do 'CTRL & A' followed by 'CTRL & D'

Having done the bottlebank & shopping run this morning, I got home to find out that the back garden had turned somewhat yellow as the dandelions had come out to greet the sunshine. I'd only cut them back a couple of weeks ago for goodness sake, so had to do it all again. This was followed by a very nice mug of coffee & then a quick 40 mile ride in what felt like a constant headwind.

I grilled three hamburgers and made proper English chips (steak fries here) washed down with a bit of root beer. The dog ate the third hamburger. No bike ride today, I had to take Mrs. GA to the ophthalmologist. I went by a chain hoagie shop scheduled to open today, but they did not, so a fellow there gave me a ticket for a free hoagie when next I go.

That were nice of you, doing a burger for the dog. Often they only get what's left, not one cooked for them.

Hoagie = sandwich type meal?

Is it humanly possible to turn a chunk of pork fillet into an appetising dish? It's shocking stuff.
