Happened loads to me too. Think it still does occasionally. Also the read-up-to position in a thread that gets moved forum is always reset to the start for me.

Good place to be fair, he still screams the place down when he gets his hair cut so they cater for that sort of shit. So you don’t feel bad, it’s par for the course. Anyway they’re quite hard to get an appointment at. So few weeks ago I got one at 3:30. Finished work early, picked him up early from nursery, got down there nice and early at 3:15 and they were closed. Nothing on their website or social media (which they update constantly). No note on the door. Nothing. Hung around for 20 minutes to make sure they hadn’t just popped out, rang their number a few times. Nothing. I messaged them on Instagram and Facebook, not complaining but obviously asking what happened and why they didn’t tell us. Got no response for a week and then they finally replied and said “sorry about that. Would you like to rebook?” no I **** wouldn’t. Same with more independent play centres. "Not enough people booked a session so we decided not to bother opening." ....that's why Scallywags are killing it bro and you're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be my go-to lager, but haven't had any for years. Now I just drink Warsteiner. Both seem to be reviled by the VT lager massive. But lager's not really my drink.

It's been absolute dogshit for years. That reminds me. I remember the days when you could put 2 unrelated words into google and get 0 results back, because they didn't exist together on the same page anywhere on the internet. In fact it was regarded as a game to find those combinations, and as you found them you added them to an online list, thereby removing them from the pool. EDIT : It was called a Googlewhack, and I mis-remembered. The goal was to find exactly 1 result, not 0 (but you also often found zero as well). But by finding it and adding it, you still removed it from the answer pool (because then the search result became 2). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that’s the supposed desired effect Went to the local Majestik to get my Paleys and noticed there was a note on the door saying something about it. Sort of “The last government…blah blah…tax by ABV…[at that point I lost interest and went in and bought m’Coopers].

Is this how you get all your information? Just for you. One prisoner let out today under the government's early release scheme celebrated by saying "big up Keir Starmer". But Number 10 did not see the funny side of the situation - with the prime minister's spokesperson saying Sir Keir "shares the public's anger" over the matter. https://news.sky.com/story/prisoner-released-early-thanks-prime-minister-but-no-10-doesnt-see-funny-side-13238779 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
