Oh, I dropped both my Sony and Olympus camera in Japan!
Just broke the filter for the Sony but the Olympus landed on the winding mechanism and that is borked totally. The back panel is also out of line from the body, you can see the gap getting larger at the top.
Made a claim, approved on the phone.
I was standing right here where this was taken.

Ah shame, looks like an older camera too, easy enough to replace?. Or am i just being taken in by the design?

There are a millions of these out there, easy to replace. The film however, it's gone.
In the moment I tried to wind it without turning the locking knob thing and basically torn it in half. But I am not sure if it weren't ruined anyway as the door had a massive gap to one side.

It is remarkable to find one of these sewage ventilation pipes intact, Historic England says.

This must be like the fastest insurance claim/settlement i've ever seen!

Friend works at a supermarket where Just Eat became live 10 days ago. Someone ordered just a pack of rolly baccy and was charged £4 more than if the lazy sod got up off her backside and went to the shop instead. The rolly baccy is £2.85 more than price listed and more for service charge.

Parked in the empty overflow carpark at the supermarket, came back to a pile of crap Peugeot that had squeezed in between me and the curb, i am lost for words when this happens, (no dings but i don't get it) how do you guys with really expensive cars go on, i would be a nervous wreck

If on FB - look at a group called Parked Like a TTWA (anagram) or PLAT for short. Loads of photos of WTF parking.
Such as BMW no blue badge parking over 3 disabled bays at 90 degrees etc
I don’t get parking next to a car when dozens of empty bays all around!

Paying for the convenience of not having to get off said backside.

The recent outages with Vodafone broadband have reminded me I am nearing the end of my 2 year contract, glad that in that time FTTP with Trooli has become available where I live so it's booked in for later this month. 300/100 service for £25 a month, first 6 months free.

Heh, I occasionally park across multiple spaces for fun in an empty car park. You can block six spaces fairly easily.
I get this a lot
especially with the pickup due to the size I'll try and find an empty spot even if it is a bit out of the way - I can literally park in a totally empty 200 places car park and come back to find people have squeezed in right beside me!!! the other one which gets me is when you are parking up and obviously in the middle of manoeuvring and someone will come in behind you and park in the spot right behind or to one side of you when there is no shortage of places to park...

Opened a Facebook account to interact with a business. It’s got such a hateful interface, clunky, 90 menus to find what you’re looking for (data privacy settings).
The way it displays photos / multiple photos is also ****.
I wish they’d do a proper overhaul. They’ve got (or had) 10s of thousands of staff, so why not.

First decently warm day of the year, so of course there’s been a barbecue somewhere in the ‘hood. We’re currently into the ‘alleged adults far too emotionally invested in a garden kickabout with a football’ phase. The zeitgeist is thus:
”I scream and clap really loudly every time I mash my kid’s flyaway football from Smyths into a fence panel I can’t afford to replace because I’m emotionally retarded and dead inside, but hopefully everyone thinks I’m the life and soul of the party.”

We just have Lib Dem’s and Conservatives. Lib Dem’s have been bloody awful.My candidate options for the local elections in May are Labour, Lib Dems or Conservative. So definitely not voting.
They have all seats on council bar 2-3 which are Tories

I bloody sighed at the site of disposal BBQs at another shop. They need to be banned as people have them in places where they aren’t allowed and don’t clear up the mess. Even one of my fellow Wombles found a disposable BBQ in a park which BBQs are banned plus bottles of sauces about 20% used etc.

Vote just to stop a tory getting in. Tactical voting and all that.My candidate options for the local elections in May are Labour, Lib Dems or Conservative. So definitely not voting.

Got postal vote for council's elections next month. On the postal voting statement which you sign and enter dob. They must be thinking everyone who does a postal vote is older than 23 (if they haven't had birthday this year yet) as dob has 19_ _
Got two colleagues who are 19 and 20 and voting via post as both away from the UK on election day.
Unless council haven't bothered to update template from 2018
