Again, do you really think we want someone with an attitude like yours in our community? You've been abrasive, condescending and hysterical the entire time most of us have been aware of your existence. Why would we want someone as hot headed as you?

Testerical, surely?

And thanks, I have learnt a lot from following UKMTs over the years. And sorry that my contributions have been few and mostly low content quips. Like the immediately preceding.

Yeah I think the only times I've skipped a huge wodge of posts in the UKMT is when It has been well and truly Happening, and it's just people reacting to live events (election nights and similar). On Discord there's no way to keep up, and it's more chat anyway.

Don't die, forums :( (purely selfishly. Bad man still bad)

Hey People, need some phone advice.

We're sorting out a replacement phone for a family friend with dementia who's had to move into a care home.

We've got her one of these.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00V02YN1O/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

I ordered a free sim from Three, but I didn't realise until it got here that in needed to be 3G capable.

We're going with PAYG, because she has dementia, and we're not next of kin or anything. So a contract would be a pain to arrange or cancel.

Can anyone recommend a provider who does PAYG, provides Standard size SIM cards, doesn't need 3G and we can top up online for her without a problem.

Thanks.

pretty sure EE send their sim cards in a standard size which you can pop out of it's template for a smaller size where necessary

edit: you can also register it online to top up etc.

Be aware, any PAYG SIM not used for 6 months, and I mean used to send a text or make an outbound call, inbound only stuff doesn't work, will go inactive, and the number will be reclaimed.

Most operators should offer any SIM size yuou need, they mostly all use the 3-in-1 pop-out kind like what looke said

was thinking someone with dementia of a certain age might still have the muscle memory of using a rotary phone.

Yeah, just checked. Looks like you need 3G for the internet etc which is not required. Even before the dementia she was completley tech-illiterate. I'd be very suprised if she even knew how to send a text message at any point.

I'll order one and see how it works.

Is it from your employer or the government? Assignments is a strange term to use but the generic furlough agreement allows you to look for other work as long as your local agreement with your employer doesn't forbid it so I don't think it's inherently a cause for alarm.

I'm in the UKGoons discord (listed under the Commies). Which channel is most like this thread for future reference?

Two forums I used to be an active member of folded in 2011 and their replacements never really worked, being abandoned within months.

Several of us from each of those forums are on FB - one forum I met quite a few in real life, the other - none in real life but 9 years later we're still friends (and 'beyond the call of duty' friends in a couple of cases!)

Some people though have no interest in joining FB and all good intentions of staying in touch via email soon wither and die, email is not conducive to 'water cooler chat' type conversations, and there comes a point for many when FB force you to put your real name (or something demonstrably close to your real name) on an account. I'm reluctant to do that with politics because there is too much screenshotting of things posted by people in their real names going on (on FB).

seriously do yourself a favor and distance yourself from goons as much as you can. there are much friendlier much more intersectional communities around with similar senses of humour and interests and you'll be much happier for it.

goons are trash, always have been and always will be,
