@Morris_Oxford I had never noticed that before but yes, a definite break… just catches the snigger coming through his nose 🤣

This is amazing, and thanks for sharing @Robert_E_Kelly Although lets be honest, what we all really want, is for you and the family to re-enact the scene for us... pretty sure it would also be an afternoon of family fun too :)

Today is the eighth anniversary of the 'BBC Dad' blooper, so here are some recent family pictures. The kids are growing fast.

Is anything wrong weong with @SoundCloud at the min to do with infrastructure or web app? Uploads all instantly fail and the browser dev console is absolutely littered with errors (debug out???) when loading the tracks/upload tool… I just want to upload my content 😣

@paddingtonbear If this isn’t a sign it’s past time you were put down, then I don’t know what is!

[Chris Gooding @J5Dev]

@PlanetGregMusic No idea… don’t get to watch TV much, as I have 5 kids to feed! 😎

@SpaceBoffin @MerriamWebster The data shows 😎

@SoundCloud really need to sort their bot out that scans for copyright… every upload of a WIP private 100% original track is taken down for copyright, for the exact same song (nothing alike btw), only for me to appeal, wait 8 hours for it to be reinstated, again! Sort it out!!!

@ProfBrianCox Cox's law: "civilisations are inevitably crushed by the weight of nobheads shortly after inventing the internet."

Brilliant.

@Uber Amazing news hearing you can finally operate fully in #Hull, UK. But when will you start please? Simply fed up of our current transport situation here and need a decent operator ASAP!!

@crazyclips_ I mean the attacker deserved to be hit... But not like that, he was leaving. As his back was turned, and the way he hit his head when he went down, the shop assistant is lucky if he isn't looking at murder/manslaughter charges!

@DatadogOps Can someone confirm if your website is having issues?

Currently unable to login to the service as the login button simply reloads the page (no failures, no XHR request occurs)! This also prevents contacting support /Live Chat, as we cant log in... Help pls :)

@McDonaldsUK A late reply, apologies, forgot completely about this… Happened again just now at the Hull Kingswood Asda branch, however it has happened at lots of other branches since my last message.

Maybe just tell all branches to pull their socks up eh… unless its deliberate, feels it!

[Chris Gooding @J5Dev]

Dear @McDonaldsUK if you’re going to insist on forcing us to order via machines, and just have your staff shout numbers and not order contents, then the LEAST you can do is ensure your machines have receipt paper! From EVERYONE! Can’t remember the last time I got a receipt! 🤔

[Chris Gooding @J5Dev]

Just seen the TikTok about @TravelodgeUK turning a disabled lady away as they were short staffed... 😳 Apparently they keep minimum staff levels (1 person) on, thats it! What if theres an incident, hardly safe?! Won't ever be using them again, disgusting! @premierinn from now on!

[Chris Gooding @J5Dev]

@SuellaBraverman Is this where you try to blame @UKLabour for what is clear your parties fault… and quite specifically, yours for a good while?

The first time I got arrested in Iran, it was for walking on the beach with a girl and allegedly holding hands. We were sentenced to 70 lashes*. We paid some bribe and reduced it to 50 (we weren't rich. It was nice of the judge to even accept that much bribe).
I remember the judge shamelessly opened his desk drawer for me to put the money in.
I was lashed bareback. The girl wasn't. When I walked out, my dad was waiting for me.
He messed up my hair and said in a proud tone "now you're a man". He took me to a pastry shop I liked, we bought some pastry, then we went home and drank alcohol together (actual 96% ethanol alcohol, mixed with pomegranate juice. We couldn't afford to buy liquor from dealers).
I never saw that girl again. I mean, getting lashed on the first date kinda leaves a black eye on the rest of the dates.
I was 19 at the time, massive introvert; so I didn't date anyone for a while. Huh, I guess that amsuing incident did affect my dating life after all.
So I retired from dating for a few years to focus on my career and children. But since I didn't have any of those, I focused on student activism. Which coincidentally also led me prison where I got even worse beatings. But that's another story for another time.
Anyways. The moral of the story is Sharia law is barbarism. That is all.

@BenMFreeman Its a few people (relatively) marching in London… now imagine how safe/welcome you would feel if it were soldiers, tanks and missiles marching at or aimed at you because of a small minority amongst you… Maybe want to re-evaluate your definition of horrifying!
