Domestic tech. Took me best part of an hour to work out why some devices (TV, phone) were still wifi connected while others (iPad, laptop) were disconnected and no, will not reconnect, no way josé.
A: switch everything inc router off and start again.

It's really really annoying when you've tried to use whatever tech ability you have to solve the problem, and after everything else has failed the reboot option works first time.

I updated my LinkedIn page over a year ago to say that I was retired and no longer looking for work. Today I received an email that began…
”Hi RETIRED…”
I know all recruiters are not the same but really?

Bahahahahaha. You found a good one there ;)
The other day I got approached for a FTSE100 role - to do the kind of role I am usually headhunting for.
"Rick, I've been admiring you work for a while" it started.

The thing is that a position starting in Paris ASAP would have appealed, 24 months ago. 😂

Sounds like AI doing the donkey work for them.

Or just checking if you are really retired or just taking an extended golfing holiday 😁

In that case AI is a donkey and not fit for purpose.

I logged in again to edit my profile and make things abundantly clear. Another offer for Dubai.
I suppose I should be flattered to be in demand at an international level. 😝

Did you change your name to "retired" or write it somewhere else?

Not my name, I put "Retired" as my current status. I have now added schpeel to my experience.

But going back to work would disappoint me. 🤣 And as they are foreign positions they wouldn't even boost the economy. 🤣🤣🤣

If I was retired the first thing I would do (after having a party) would be to delete my LinkedIn account.

My wife keeps telling me I should get a LinkedIn account if I want to get another job. I really don't think I want another way to get spammed.

I kept my account in case ex-colleagues wanted to get in touch, which they have. I did delete the app.
Anyway, as Wheelspinner says, I'll be on their systems so doubt the emails will stop.

Ugh, the absolute sea of shitwits trying to excuse the EDL smashing up Southport because 'legitimut greevunces'. I even saw some moron trying to link it to industrial decline in the North West.

It's not too bad on the spam front. We can send you invites to connect to make you look popular if you want 😊

When the cleaners at work restock the toilet roll holder with a full roll that is so heavy that at best you can extract no more than a length of two sheets at a time. This makes anus cleaning very long and frustrating. Recon at least 30 anuses need wiping before the roll runs free.
Grinds my nipples it does.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

It just needs a couple of nights where it's chucking it down with rain and they'll all be back inside watching Eastenders and ordering Indian/Turkish/Etc. takeaways to be delivered by Romanian/Iraqi/Iranian/Etc. delivery drivers working for JustEat.

The price of coffee beans. I’ve bought a few varieties the last five years or so, always available around 36-40 bucks a bag. Occasional specials when it’s been sitting too long on the shelf would see it under 30.
Current price of my preferred choice this week: $50 (up from 40) and my second choice is up to $54!

Got a fever on holiday. Took a lot of painkillers to get though it, only to spot a totally flat tyre on the hire car.
Very much in the middle of nowhere so a) stuck without a car and b) the roadside assistant can’t find me

I think you need to stop having anything to do with cars. You have bad carma.

No need to rub it in when he's feeling so deflated.
Anyway, hope you get it sorted, RC.
