Gov.uk id check:

"What is the credit limit on one of your credit cards?"

Erm...

"Nope that wasn't the card I thinking of. Goodbye"

Seems to expect everyone to be Derren Brown!

Anyone else finding #gmails #spam filtering has lost the plot today? All transactional emails have gone to spam. Gitlab MRs, Github issue notifications, a purchase invoice, a hotel booking, HMRC, credit card 2FA code. All gone in spam!

Only things not gone in spam... actual spam!

I don't think Alex Brundle is Martin's son, more like clone. I keep looking up at the testing expecting to see Martin, maybe with a mild cold.

Or as my partner put it 'there was definitely no milkman involved there' 🤣

Now every race is going to trigger my Jira PTSD. You'll find me curled up in the corner, rocking back and forth, mumbling 'but I am the administrator, how do I contact myself?'

Sainz: My tires are shot, I need to pit.
Atlassian William Racing Engineer: Sorry Carlos you don't have permission to raise that type of Jira ticket. Please contact an administrator.

People think I'm joking when I say I've always got the wrong version of #python. But today, I had the wrong version of #python.

#github do pick their moments to go down. Really need to be able to read that code.

We need a word for that sort of disappointment you get when you expected something to be difficult and it turned out to be easy.

Starling bank stopping paying interest on current and joint accounts, but still advertise it as a benefit of their account. Fintech news says they are introducing 'Easy Saver' space to "simplify saving". I think they need to look up 'simplify' in a dictionary.
