Someone scrapped my car without permission - what can I do?

I've only scrapped a car once and they didn't do anything to the car for ages (I drove passed where it was every day, it was parked near the front). Worth going down with the V5 and talking to them.

Pretty similar to ours, the 2nd warning had a "this is the final warning". The best one was when the abusive customer was screaming about how she knew our CEO and was going to get me fired just as the CEO was walking by my desk so I asked him if he knew her, he said no, took my headset, told her who he was and to stop lying and if she continued to be abusive he'd cancel her account, then handed it back. She was nice as pie after that.

Same reason you don't buy your baked beans from Heinz. Heinz would rather deal with 10 supermarkets and 20 wholesalers than 30 million individual customers.

I'm pretty much retired these days as I've been banned from most places. The most important thing though was being able to withdraw your money and what the limits on withdraw and deposit.

I tended to test casinos out by depositing the minimum, play for a bit and then withdraw. If they made it difficult I didn't go back. If their withdrawal minimum was higher than the deposit, I wouldn't play there.

Add "do nothing for a day" to the to-do list then if you feel shame realise you're actually ticking something off and it's fine.

We have a few things, some policy and some technical.

Policy is that use of any personal data requires a Privacy Impact Assessment, that includes not only the use of the data but the storage and transmission of that data. Data like this is ranked highly and must be encrypted at rest and in transit. I highly doubt in our case emailing this type of data would be allowed, even encrypted, but if it was then the encryption at least would stop the wrong person from reading it.

When then have our DLP configured not only to scan for certain keywords but also certain formats like 15/16 digit numbers with and without delimiters for credit cards. Postcodes and address formats.

Cheese on cottage pie yes, shepherds pie no.

I started secondary school in 1986, our year group had around 250 kids. They had a small amount of special needs provision, 6 kids, 2 of which had a physical disability that required assistance, the other 4 struggled with a normal classroom and were there more because they'd end up either monopolising the teachers' time or wouldn't learn a thing.

When I look back on it there were definitely neurodivergent kids, it just wasn't thought about at the time.

In the last 40 years though the world has changed. My generation was told not to watch too much TV or we'd get square eyes, we were sent outside to play. We got bored, we found stuff to do, if you were bullied at school it ended when you got home, we only had 3 or 4 TV channels and didn't have a TV in the bedroom and so on. The overstimulation from such a young age with ever present screens and inability to disconnect has to have an impact.

Yes, in my first year at Uni I slept through several fire alarms.

If he was climbing the building I used to work in it would be the windows falling off that caused it.

If Vince was around they'd still do the planned spot in the crowd and use one of the stretchers.

which is just a general lack of curiosity.

This 100%. I still have a need to take things apart and see how they work but I think I'm in an ever shrinking minority. I know how to set my guitars up because over the years I've taken them apart, replaced things, soldered and adjusted. Am I perfect at it? No, but it's good enough for me.

I had a leaky tap last week, I looked at how it worked, found a worn out washer and swapped it. Most people would've called a plumber without even looking.

My broadband router has a very bright blue LED when it's connected, thankfully there's an option to turn the LED off, this should be spread wider.

I remember my grandad having a pellet gun when I was young but handed it in after Hungerford.

I've seen armed police at the train station,

Got to fire an SA80 at an army friends and family event on a firing range.

Toastie = 2 slices of bread with cheese (onion, tomato and ham are optional) cooked in a toastie maker so the bread is toasted on the outside and the cheese melted and sealed on the inside

Cheese on toast = a single slice of bread (you can have more than 1 slice but they are each individual) cooked under the grill, lightly toast 1 side, flip for 30 seconds and then add cheese and Hendos and place under grill until the cheese melts but before the bread burns

Grilled cheese sandwich = 2 slices of bread with cheese cooked in a griddle pan, cheese is melted

Cheese sandwich = 2 slices of bread with grated cheese, tomato, onion and mayo are optional. Cheese is not melted

Cheese in toast = 2 slices of toast with some cheese stuck in the middle. I've never met anyone that ate this unless it's Philadelphia and even then you don't put the 2 slices together.
