There might be slight differences between badges and orders ;-)

Surely the ultimate is a Blue Peter badge ?

When you do an Online Order at the Warehouse on Boxing Day (Sale) for 4 of a discounted item and then receive an email today stating "We can't locate your item"!!!!

 

Same as last year! Sheesh! Boxing Day has been, can't get the special elsewhere AGAIN!

 

NO THIRD chance for them next year!

Not really. My first model ever was from Airfix and I was not shot down when I approached the Kent coast piloting the A/C by myself and despite the fact, the A/C carried 3x 1kg flour ‚bombs‘ to be dropped overhead a specific target from the air (can’t help - that was part of the British contest rules in which I participated). Afterwards they tried to put me in an RAF uniform … :-)

 

But this all isn‘t annoying … back to topic.

Apple harping on about being privacy-centric and trustworthy.

 

My brother mentioned that he was about to watch Harry Potter. My phone was 'asleep' and sitting on the table.

 

A few minutes later I grabbed the phone and opened Safari, and the auto-complete bar on the top of the keyboard suggested Harry Potter.

 

So much for being trustworthy... it's the sort of behaviour that I expect from Google, but not Apple.

Disable all Apple services (except the Appstore), get a Nextcloud instance w/iOS client and here we go. Did it with my iPad Air 4 and it works like a charm especially with the iOS file manager (I only use the iPad and an AppleTV 4k from their ecosystem, no iPhone, no watch, nothing else).

This stuff:

 

 

 

 

It's MSM but shouldn't be that bad, however our cat, who will enthusiastically eat her own barf, wouldn't touch it. Tried some on our neighbour's cat but she was almost afraid of it, circling it warily and poking it with a paw. Left it outside for two visiting cats, one of whom is known informally as garbage-guts, a.k.a. the hoover, and neither of them would touch it.

 

 

Whatever this stuff is that George has cooked up, it's less appealing than cat vomit. Literally.

That there are 5 times the number of things that annoy people on this site than things that make people smile.
Hopefully, 2022 can help balance things out.
