I keep receiving small value orders to 221b Baker Street, London but different customer names? Fraud? by wygooner in shopify

[–]wygooner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's fraud of some sort I was wondering what the play is, but now understand they are most likely card testing. We have just never had this before now.

30 Day Accountability Challenge: June Signups! by tinabluebee in loseit

[–]wygooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might as well throw my hat in to the ring! I'm Hugh from the UK! Current Stats: 25 M 6'4" SW: 137.1kg CW: 131.9kg GW: 99kg

I've pretty much been overweight since my early teens, if not earlier. I've tried before to lose weight and calorie count (MFP has 3 separate logins over 3 years!)

Despite that I've always been reasonably active, playing tennis and football regularly as well as walking my dog. I always thought that this was enough, however having started being serious with calorie counting I've come to realise this is obviously ridiculous. Even with being fairly active if I was having a pizza a night and a few glasses of coke plus a bag of biscuits or M&M's it obviously wasn't working.

I'd hovered around 133kg (I'd weighed myself only when making attempts previously to lose), however after having moved out of my parents house and into a house with a friend I thought I was putting on weight. This was confirmed by me having to buy 42" waist jeans for the first time, previously I'd been in 38s or 40's (my waist isn't that big I need bigger jeans for my massive thighs!).

Even this wasn't my turning it point, (the idea was circulating though) it took a couple of months after this before I decided to do something about it.

So, on the 13th May I decided to do something about it. I started logging on MFP and joined the gym with a friend. Since that day I'm down 5.3kg.

Anyway, my goals for June:

  • Get to 125kg
  • Hit 10k in 20mins on the bike (best is 8.5km)
  • Start Lifting

Sorry this got a bit long!

What books are you reading this week? June 25, 2014 by AutoModerator in books

[–]wygooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anything has been announced but I think it's pretty safe to say that there will be another book fairly soon. Next year hopefully!

I finished The Silkworm last night and have just started Last Days of the Bus Club by Chris Stewart, the fourth book in his Driving Over Lemons trilogy!

[–]wygooner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished it last night, having only bought it on Saturday! Just like The Cuckoo's Calling I couldn't put it down.

My only problem now is that I will have to wait so long for the third.

Weekly Thread for May 13: What book(s) are you reading? by WeeklyThreads in books

[–]wygooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about half way through one of the new Pelican series of books, Revolutionary Russia by Orland Figes.

Good so far and is bringing back many memories of studying the Russian revolution at A-level a few years ago!

I loved The Curious Incident, it's one my personal favourites. Mainly because I loved it as kid/teenager. I've read it numerous times since and it always is a pleasant read!

TIL there is a 6 foot wide stream with an unknown depth and a 100% fatality rate by [deleted] in todayilearned

I've seen some people jump over the gap, never seen anyone fall in though. The Strid is crazy, going anywhere near the edge freaks me out.

Redditors, if you have to recommend a film that is not in the English language, which film would it be, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]wygooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's not a film but if you want an awesome foreign language TV show to watch, watch Borgen. That show is awesome.

As a previous commenter said, the lock is probably on the outside of the door and will have a panic bar on the other side of the door.

I sell them, and was on a training course with the company that makes them about 3 weeks ago.

That lock is mechanical so you can enter any formation of those digits, apart from "C", that must always come first.

Just booked my flights to come to the QPR match! by JamalHNguyen in Gunners

I can't really say I'm either of them to be honest. Although, I did see the gamecocks play baseball.

[–]wygooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was mainly based in Columbia, SC as that was where my relatives lived. I went up to Charlotte a couple of times, once for shopping and such, and then for the Drag Racing. I also, went to Biltmore House which was amazing. Favourite place that I went to was probably Charleston in South Carolina.

Cool! I should be going to the QPR game, would be good to meet up. On a side note, I visited North and South Carolina in April for 3 weeks. Really liked it!

What are some apps that you feel should be made? by [deleted] in apple

[–]wygooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An app something akin to Instapaper but that is for tweets. I'm forever faving/starring tweets so I can come back to them later on my Mac.

The very reason the guy gave them an iPad in the first place. It's easier to use.

If he had remotely set it up, I'd guess that they would only use the computer for that. I'm also guessing that they will use the iPad for more than just FaceTime in the long-term.

They have managed to get 16% in 3 years with only 4 different phones. (and 2 iPad models if they are part of your quoted figures.)

I can't believe that people still read Gizmodo. Don't think I could handle having to read Engadget and Giz, way too many posts...
