@LidlGB Oh, have you stopped the free birthday donuts? I got a “Happy Birthday” in the app today but no donut voucher. Birthdays aren’t the same without a Lidl donut! 🍩😢

I don’t think the letter spacing is very good on this shop sign. The “SCHUHE” is too squashed together. Ironic. (Spotted in Bad Waldsee, Germany).

[Stephen Turner @sret]

I feel that the letter spacing is too close on “SCHUHE”.

3/3: I’m pleased to report that Another Brick In The Wall was played at the prom.

Update: some students have found that (1) you can vote multiple times if you edit the JavaScript (2) you can automate this. There are now ten times as many votes as students, and several nursery rhymes are winning. Which, while somewhat funny, is not as funny as Pink Floyd IMO.

I love this line from the front page of the @FT today: “the policy [will be] funded by a crackdown on tax avoidance and evasion — a popular source of apparent revenue for both parties.”

Oh dear, what have I done? 15yo’s school asked the kids what songs they wanted at leavers’ prom. I jokingly suggested Another Brick In The Wall. Now she’s started a campaign to get everyone to vote for it.

And it’s winning.

Sorting through old papers today, I found something I’d forgotten ever existed. A credit card cheque book. So if you go to a shop that doesn’t take credit cards, you can write them a cheque from your credit card account. 💳

@ikashoppin OK, I guess that’s good news then. Thanks for the reply.

@FastFlowConf Website schedule and lanyard schedule differ at 13:05 in CMD. Which is correct? Thanks.

It bothers me that I haven’t heard anyone say “@GaryLineker was right but as a BBC presenter he shouldn’t be allowed to say it”, nor “@GaryLineker was wrong but he should be allowed to say it”. #Linekergate

I seem to be @wordiply’s first follower. Maybe it’s not a genuine account.
