This Instant And Moment - 2026!

They're starting on rethatching our roof today, which seems brave when there is still snow on the ground but I assume they know what they're doing. Man they're loud. Ca-chunk ca-chunk ca-chunk.

Just got asked to submit credit information as ID check when buying a kitchen knife online....when I paid for said item with credit card. Wut?

I mean it is a knife, so I'd expect that.

Step 1 - Add knife to basket
Step 2 - Put in credit card information
Step 3 - Check out
Step 4 - Checked out...got Order Confirmed email in my Outlook on the other screen and Amex app alert on my phone with the amount taken.
Step 5 - Website page now popped up new window - We need to do ID check, choose ID or Credit card number. Note that this pop up window is still on the same website....I had to double checked whether I was taken to an external site.
Step 6 - Put in the same credit card number on the website that I just put into for checking out that the checked out was confirmed a second ago.
Step 7 - Message popped up "Your age has been verified, the order is now confirmed"

Wut?

Which website was this? I'd thought ID gets checked at delivery by the courier, but I've never ordered a knife online, so dunno.

Looks like it's explained here: https://cuttingedgeknives.co.uk/pages/over-18-policy

Verifying Over 18 purchase and delivery in UK
All orders that contain a knife (including craft and higonokami knives) being sent to a UK address are legally required to be age verified as being purchased by someone who is over 18. To perform this check, we use the industry leading and highly secure Age Checked system which makes your anonymity a priority - as soon as your age has been verified, the data is wiped straight away and your order will be shipped.

For most customers, this check is performed in the background during checkout using the address details you put in for your order and there is no delay or additional documentation required. In the event we can't verify your age during checkout, your order will go on hold and we'll contact you to ask for more detail before we can dispatch it.

I’m also a returning customer who bought a knife a couple years ago lol

My point is that using a credit card itself is a check…also, selling me a knife already has been confirmed.

Unless they think my account got hacked. I’m not trying to pick holes but it’s like a sieve lol

Been coming to the gym since 14th December and for the past month, with the exception of 1 weekend when I went to Belgium I have coming every day, everyday I do an incline walk. Started at 6 degrees (or lvl 6) on the treadmill, same pace of 3.4 on the settings.

A couple weeks ago I ramped it up and this weeks I ramped it to 11. I have noticed my heart rate has dropped from over 140bpm to 110-113 today. And I am doing it almost twice as steep as when I started.

My wife is watching Bridgerton. I have had to leave the room. Mainly because I was told to.

Everything about it has been calculated for my maximum annoyance:
Posh woman voice-over
Stupid clothing
Risible plotting
General girly nonsense
That woman with the stupid eyebrows, and the even stupider hat

Criticise Miladys TV choices at your peril.
 
I love Bridgerton :D I recently recommended it to my sister but warned her not to watch it with our mum

Absolutely lashing down here and I'm trying to will myself to get going and sand down the dining room walls and ceiling :o
Sanding has to be one of the worst jobs

Edit: well the other rubber band on my mask snapped (was already trying to keep it together with my niece's Frozen hair clip!)And after an hour of sanding I realised I could taste the dust so I've retired for the day. Going to laze with the cats instead :cool:
