@thameswater Reported this two days ago in W3 but water is still bubbling from a broken pipe. I can see my water bill going up, and it’s becoming quite a mess. If it freezes it’ll be a danger to pedestrians on the crossing.
Hired from @Hertz. Declined the “zero excess” insurance, I’ve £6k cover for that. On arrival, I’ve ZERO insurance, so need cover for €24k cost of car! Hertz sold it to me for €210… this feels like a scam. I will be lawyering on my return. Wife will be journalism...ing. Pls RT.
Update! @Hertz say this doesn’t seem right either. Needs to be looked at after I return the car. Mrs xmjw less inclined to column in national paper, but possible interesting brexit story? Depends if it was a glitch…
In music, you have more functions, just numbers given to a note. For the scale in G, G is the root, then you’ve a 2nd, 3rd etc up to a 7th which is the G up an octave. The fact this isn’t zero indexed really fucks me up…
@jf I can’t shake the feeling that I am intellectually inferior to those with a better university degree than me. I think there is no end. Wife went to Cambridge, and she worries about those who got a better grade…
@twopointline Yeah. Have a trip planned at the weekend and if don’t cancel on Wednesday I don’t get my money back. So can I get more gas before that? Else we’ll run out on the M25.. “need” is a complex word, but we do need the break!!
Drove around west London for 45 minutes before I found a queue. Waited for 50 minutes and boom. Full tank. They let 3 more cars in behind me and the staff had clearly had enough and shut up shop. They were super nice though. Helping people and all sorts.
Contemplated hiring a zip car, driving it to my car, siphoning 50% of the fuel to my car, and putting it back… #pleasedontdothis feels very wrong, but a sort of interesting challenge…
@aspleenic After the first episode I though “Who the hell signed this off?” Then I put the second episode on. So I guess I’ve a complicated relationship with it. We’ll see if I bother with the third though.
So. I am at my first, ever, open mic. But I confess to not bringing an instrument… too scared. Calling it research. So far, it’s chatting and setting up mic booms.
So in all likelihood, @hertz didn’t add insurance to my booking and then said it’s because I didn’t opt in, when I wasn’t given the option. My GDPR request to prove it has gone unanswered. ECRCS alerted, will raise with ICO in 20 days at this rate too, and then SC court… sigh.
Just met a Jazz Percussionist at Kings X. Because I had a guitar. This is the first person to mistake me for a musician. If you don’t count the two people who clapped when we played in the office.
