#WW2 #HISTORY #BRITISHARMY #WORLDWAR2 #WORLDWARTWO

On a box made by wife's grandad.

We know he served in ww2, from Cumbria and ended up in Lubeck in the mid/late 40s.

It looks Irish (harp) but there's no reason for him to be an Irish regiment.

Any ideas?

Nothing on TV and an evening to myself so watching Gross Pointe Blank

Plot, music, humour, acting, script

Just classic

My channel 4 app has stopped being able to cast

I'm not surprised as it's always been an awful app but it is immensely frustrating

Just realised you can get vintage working Walkmans for £20-£50

So that's my Christmas sorted

Hi

Anyone know anything about #RoyalNavy #WW2 #NavalHistory

Is DMX 81867 a valid looking service number

Was confectioners foreman a thing or was it more likely a leading cook

Any tips on getting service records without a death certificate? I tried but they treated it as a SAR and denied it

TIA

Turns out a week last Friday was a bad day to buy stuff online as I've had to chase it all up and they were only dispatched today because of the chase

That's why I hate online buying, because if it goes wrong it's a PITA

I find Gmail very confusing the way it groups message threads

I want to see a separate message for each sent and received email

I don't want it grouping and hidden as it baffles me trying to find stuff in the middle of the exchange

Does anyone find this frustrating or am I odd,old or just stupid?

Changing my mobile provider

Started the process on the 1st Nov and still not received a sim

When I phone they are "unusually" busy and didn't answer within 30 mins

Sent them an email and they auto responded saying they will "try" and answer within 3 working days

All of which, doesn't bode well

Had to replace the sproglets laptop after the repairs it needed failed

Complete mare as the accounts are all over the place and I can't reactivate office and Microsoft are the shower of shite you'd expect

On the plus side, I've saved Copilot to talk like a pirate so that will irritate him

Jesus, selling on ebay is shit

I'm stuck in limbo as the buyer withdrew the complaint and kept the item but ebay is insisting O process a returns slip

He doesn't want to return it

I don't want it returned

But it's all process driven and I have no contact options

Never selling ever again

When O2 sends a sorry you've leaving email and asks for feedback then their shitty online form errors

I'm out of here, this isn't good enough

People need to stop treating this guy like he has any idea

He was born into money and hasn't done anything useful in his entire life

The problem with doing admin stuff over the weekend is that it feels like forever for the stuff to be processed

Having to call O2 because I've been told what i need has to be manually done

But that means having to deal with their bloody rubbish robot.

8 minutes in and not had any human contact but constant stream of crap upselling of their app, website, robot etc

Sold an item on ebay, first time in ages

Absolute pain in the arse with enforced an postage process and now I'm stuck in a complaint by the buyer because the parts only pc component doesn't work as described

Never using ebay ever again for selling, it's an utter piece of shit
