I was paid £120 on Friday by an organisation I trust (faster payments). The money has not arrived in my bank account and we've double checked the sort code and account code. The only thing I can imagine is maybe they haven't matched the name, this is because the name the BANK CHOSE to put on my debit card is my full name with initials, on my cheque book is just two of my initials and my surname and when I go on to the online banking it has my title one initial and surname. I used the one off my debit card which has worked with other payers before so it's the one I gave. Has this happened to anyone and did the money turn up?

Hopefully. I've asked her to send me the details of the payment and if it doesn't come through overnight, I'll go up the bank personally and see if they can find it. I doubt very much that there is more than one Dr Jaeluni GG* Asjil or Dr J Asjil or J G Asjil at my local branch with my exact sort and account nos! *GG god's gift

Convex posted:The sender can ask their bank to trace the payment, I would advise requesting that asap just in case. Should be a free service I think it may have been solved. Because of the name thing, there was a 2 step authentication request sent to the main signatory on the account (of which the person making the payment was unaware) who was on leave on Friday. Hopefully will be resolved today!

Two flats in our block had smart meters put in and they stopped the storage heaters working so SSE had to come and put old ones back in. The 'landlord' meter (communal one) doesn't show any readings so I pressed a blue button to see if it showed any (which works on mine) and it just said 'reset' so god only knows if I have set it to 00000 so they'll think we've gone round the clock! We haven't had an actual meter reading for quite a long time, all estimates, as noone knew where the key to the relevant cupboard was! Once the winter is through (don't want any disruption to the overnight storage heaters in the communal areas during the cold months with all these 80/90 year olds knocking around) hope to somehow get an employee with a technical brain cell /ability to make decisions to visit rather than getting into a dispute.

WW2 holiday camp chat: My dad, his brothers and my nan on dad's side were evacuated at some point from Coventry to Bude and IIRC it was to a 'repurposed' holiday camp for families of serving soldiers. My nan spoke and dressed well so the officers' wives accepted her as one of them until the day my grandad came home on leave in his sergeant's stripes and they blanked her after that.

Without googling to double check, Corbyn won across the board and would have won WITHOUT the £3 registered supporters (of which I was one) and the possibly tiny number of tories who joined (one of my brothers, a card-carrying tory did exactly this - in fact he did two, one in his wife's name). Ed: why is only said of lefties: "s/he is a card-carrying member of the Communist/Labour/SWP/whatever party" and I never hear anyone except me say "s/he is a card-carrying member of the Tory/UKIP/Brexit/BNP/other proto-fascist party". Same with religions: you only ever here of devout roman catholics / muslims / jews / hindus. You never hear of 'devout anglicans' even though there are many.

That reminds me of something that happened to me when I was a temporary secretary in the Works Dept at a hospital. My boss had a meeting in his diary with a Doc and he said to me "She's a right little poo poo stirrer". Anyway, it was pouring with rain so when she arrived for the meeting, I made her a cup of coffee (which isn't something that usually happened). We had a chat until my boss was finished on a phone call. After she'd gone, I said "she seemed really nice to me". He said "yeah but she's a poo poo stirrer. Literally. She works in the Endocrine and Metabolic dept and stirs poo poo."

My mum has taken 10 days to tell us but told my sister this evening, the guy (son of the next door neighbour - he is over 50) who she pays to do her garden exposed his fully erect member to her when she made him a cup of tea. Then had the nerve to call round a week later to say can he still do her gardening. She told someone in an organisation she belongs to and they treated it as a safeguarding issue (she is over 80 so 'vulnerable') and reported it to the local police who phoned her this afternoon when she was away from the phone so I hope they phone back as she didn't manage to get their phone number (somewhat hard of hearing though she denies it). It could have been much worse if he'd raped her or attacked her - she lives in the countryside, there's no mobile phone signal for 3km radius, and if he cut the phone line she'd have no means of contacting anyone. It's made her feel very vulnerable (until now she's been doing the 'I survived the blitz' thing.) I've never met the guy but my sister has. "He seems like such a nice guy, friendly, interesting conversation, gentle, married". me: "it's a myth that sex offenders are gurning, bottle-glass specs, loner lech, many are 'happily married nice guys'" Thing is - my sister and I have seen her maybe 4 times in the last 10 days (she turns up unannounced) and there was NOTHING in her demeanour to suggest anything wrong but now tonight you can tell how upset she is.

Update on mother: plod went round this morning and after taking a statement asked if she wanted to (a) do nothing (b) have them go caution the guy , or (c) go to court. Anyway she picked the caution route. They'll also tell him that he must stay off her property. Family opinion is divided on whether she should go talk to the neighbours who are the in-laws of the guy (he lives there too with his wife their daughter). Plod basically said it's up to her. They'll soon know anyway once he's been interviewed and cautioned.

White foreigners in Egypt are often referred to as khawaga. There are variations on what it means and whether it is 'respectful' or not. Educated Egyptians will tell you it is meant as a term of respect. Ha. One of the definitions is "wheat face" and I've definitely had it said about me in my hearing in a non-respectful tone! (And see the bus driver's face when having commented something in Arabic along the lines of "where does the stupid wheat face think she's going" to a passenger, I replied loudly in my best Arabic "RmZEES inshallah" (stress on the ZEES which is where it belongs, not on the RAM which is where stupid wheat faces normally put it!

Communist Thoughts posted:i already nearly took a little fox home when i fed him a pepperami but his big brother/sister came to get him When I was 10 and living in the countryside with my nan for a year, I found a fox cub (maybe 3-4 months old) in a hedge which had been shot in one of its legs - the leg was shattered. There was a cottage nearby where I knew the guy had a shotgun so I asked him to shoot the poor thing properly (nan and I suspected it was him that shot the poor thing in the leg in the first place) and he wouldn't. Anyway, I decided to take it to the vet and started to carry it into town about 3 miles away and a friend of my nan's came by in a car and gave me a lift. The vet said he could amputate the leg but the fox would grow up and only let me near it or he could put it to sleep and that would be best. So anyway, that's what I agreed to. (He didn't charge me anything). But then I had to get 3 miles home again in a dress covered in fox pee, flies and fleas and then dunk myself in a cold bath (nan never put her hot water tank on, if you wanted a bath she would boil pans on the stove so by the time there was enough water in the bath, the first pans worth were cold). Showers weren't a thing for most people in those days. (She never had proper toilet roll either, just boxes of tissues.) My sister calls me 'the fox whisperer'. Cat toys chat: My girl absolutely loved a little toy mouse about the size of my thumb that my brother bought her. She played with it for over 12 years and would frequently carry it in to me and plonk it on my bed in the middle of the night accompanied by much miaowing. My boy robbed a toy stuffed rabbit off Walthamstow market (I lived very near) and he loved playing with that for years. I still have their toys even though it is now 8/9 years since they shuffled off this mortal coil. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Mar 9, 2021 |
