Had one in the house instead... Yum. Tongue

Heading to Durham in the afternoon.
Had a bit of a mixed day, so rather than make two separate posts in two threads, I thought id just put it in here.

Firstly is my Annoyance of the Day, Waited half hour for the 2 to go to Sunderland and I then found that Paypal/Yahoo had been cheeky little bastards and took £17.35 out of my Bank Account, for the Renewal of my Flickr Account, this is despite me having my Account set not to Automatically Renew, Furthermore they didnt even bother alerting me to my Account Subcription being about to run out via Email or prompt me to Renew on Flickr itself, anyway Halifax put me through to make a Dispute Claim, so I can get the £17.35 back as atm I cant afford to Renew my Flickr Account, although I was going to Renew it when I had bit more Money in a few weeks time.

Secondly I came across a Job on Universal Jobmatch while doing Job Search in Ingeus this afternoon, but I am unsure whether to go ahead and apply for it, Basically it is a Bar Job working Overseas (Destination Unknown) on a 6 Month Renewable Contract, The Company pays for all Travel Costs and supplies Accommodation with the Position, Working approx 45 Hours a Week earning an average Salary of 2000 Euros a Month, which is around £2600 including Tips which are Tax Free, All I need is a Passport and 6 Months Experience in a Busy Bar Environment, oh and be fluent in English and have a Clean Criminal Record, I have all but the Passport although Ingeus said they would cover the cost for that if I do decide to Apply and of course get the Job when speaking to my Advisor about it.

It may be an April Fools special so I don't know how long it will last!

Yeah will be, just did a Google search and apparently last year they did something to do with Pokemon and I think it was something to do with a treasure map the year before that.
I know this is not funny or anything, death is not something I will disrespect or laugh at...But this story on the Daily Mail Site grabbed my attention...

What a place to die

Man decorating family grave killed by falling headstone
Got some microwave meals from Marks and Spencer, just for placement for lunch, but i remembered i'm only in once this week instead of twice, so having on now... i have to say even the microwave meals are nice, having meatballs and spaghetti

I never knew that you had to renew Flickr accounts? Why is that?

Adam is referring to his "Pro" subscription. It's not available on Flickr any more, and once your subscription runs out (if it is not set to automatically renew), you cannot get "Pro" again.

The main difference between what is available to all users now and "Pro" is the account statistics. You can see how many views your photostream and/or individual photos have had in total with "Pro", but very few users have access to it now as they haven't renewed their subscription.

One date included meeting a lass in Park Lane, getting the bus from Heworth to Middlesbrough later that morning and treating her to a meal at Greggs.

Been back to the Bank this afternoon and opted to just pay for the renewal of the subscription, as would of done it at the end of the Month anyway had it not of Automatically Renewed, obviously I am not happy about this as Flickr Pro is none Refeunable, so I had I let Fraud Disputes continue on with there Investigation, I would have found that I would have to pay the cost either way, so either way it was going to Lose/Win situation.

My Brother previously worked for PayPal/Yahoo at where he currently works, but is now working for Cisco in the same Building, so I am going to speak to him and see if there is anything he can suggest I do to get a partial refund of something, as I said previously I was even informed or prompted to renew my Account.
Bloody hell, GNE want to print and photocopy his face and stick them in every bus. He shouldn't be allowed to travel, the dirty man.

Conceived a baby on a bus and bearing on mind he has lived in Washington and Houghton (amongst other places) and bearing in mind those areas lack competition... Wonder if the kid was named after the brand or vehicle it was conceived on? Starting to wonder if forum member names and the vehicles in their names, are significant in some sort of way?

Wonder if knock off copies of the CCTV that night, have been sorted out and burned onto DVD too?

Wouldn't surprise me if there is knock off DVDs in the area there often is rumours of CCTV sex DVDs in the area, I've heard rumours of ones showing people doing it outside nightclubs in Sunderland.

Coming from Washington and assuming he was shagging on local services, I am guessing there could be a little Red Arrow running or some kid called Olympian, how about, wonder if he has ever had sex on the X21 and found he shoot his muck...Pronto Big Grin

Not really.

18cm is just 3cm short of the short-side of an A4 piece of paper.

Not quite the same thing but there were people knocking out video tapes of bouncers getting rough with unruly punters in Gateshead around 10-12 years ago. Around the same time CCTV footage of fights in takeaways were also available. 
This Guy on Pointless made me laugh

He looks like a mixed race Boris Johnson...Infact if Boris Johnson and Frank Bruno could produce a kid together, this guy would be the outcome of such a relationship
