What's the latest in people's lives?

[Lighthawk]

Microwaving is a horrible way to cook in general. Reheating something that's been cooked, okay, but actually cooking, not so much.

i have just noticed that somehow, via some strange coincidence I've got Mark's...mobile phone number on my phone. I'm assuming this is due to facebook syncing...

I have his number too, and Deep's . . . .

This is why I don't put my phone number on Facebook. This is why I don't link my cellphone to any social website. this is why I distrust these whole multimedia schemes.

You end up with stuff you never asked, and you don't know when your personnal information are going to be sent without your consent to other parties.

I wouldn't care if my facebook friends have my number. I would care a great deal if they got it without my approval.

[Nickswitz]

I honestly don't care much who has my number, I know how easily I can get it changed for free if I need to, plus the more people who have it the more people can contact me in need of my computer expertise, so it's actually pretty nice for me.

[Reliant121]

Besides, I never EVER answer the phone unless its a saved contact. I will do once I'm of an adult age but I have absolutely no need to talk to companies so 0800 numbers are ignored.

In other news, Company car arrived today...a week ahead of shedule. They messed around a lot and eventually got us a brand new Birmingham registered Ford Focus with a 1.6TDCi engine. Lovely car, you can tell its a diesel when you start her up (got that typical grumble) but still performs nicely so I'm told.

Oh really?

[Reliant121]

I have Nick's as well.

Not much use if you 1) really don't understand the Yankee mobile number method...or any method for that matter, and then 2) I have no interest in revealing my awful voice...Finally 3) It costs far to much for you lot.

[Mikey]

The Yankee mobile number method? It's as complicated as every cell phone being assigned a number, no different in any quality than a land line number.

[SolkaTruesilver]

When I was in Dubai, you could evaluate if a phone number was cell or land-based with a glance, 'cause of a very simple number prefix.

would have been a good idea if they'd have done it here. Like, in Montreal, instead of 514-xxx-xxxx, you'd have 514-9-xxx-xxxx

[Mikey]

No such thing here. Area code + seven digit number, mobile or land line.

[Reliant121]

Ours are 07 for a mobile/cell number (so far as I've ever been alive anyway), 0800 or 0845 for specially business things (although local businesses are often area code) and all else are area coded landlines.

Well guys, try this one for fucking weird.

Since Sunday, three people within my area have all died. And they've all died from the same thing - a brain hemorrhage. The third person was found dead this morning, when just last evening she'd been attending the funeral of the previous person who had died. The second person died on Tuesday just after walking out of the local hospital for some routine checkup.

I didn't know any of the recently deceased very well (I just knew their names and what they looked like and I didn't know the first guy at all), but it's just fucking weird to have three people drop dead of the same thing within the space of a week within the same part of the city.

[SolkaTruesilver]

Brain Hemmorage?

I agree, this is weird. Might be a good idea for the authorities just to have a few brain scans done on risk-prone people to see if there really happens to be an increased incidence, or if it's merely a coincidence.

If this was a Star Trek episode, they would run quite a few scan to determine that... Hope it's gonna be the end of these deaths..

[Captain Seafort]

Hope it's gonna be the end of these deaths..

Should be now - death comes in threes.
