09:27.07ChoHagThe latest and greatest way to email passwords is to attach a gif.
09:28.39gmarkallthanks for the tip :-)
09:29.11ChoHagYou heard it here first.
09:33.08ChoHagMassive disruption at Waterloo last night. Not a hint of a mention on SWT's site.
09:33.28gmarkallthat's "normal service"
09:33.35gmarkallno need to mention it
09:36.20ChoHagThe installation [of ticket gates] ... has many benefits to our customers,
09:36.27ChoHagCould have fooled me.
09:59.07antiphaseTop tip: Don't travel between 8-9am and 5-7pm
11:16.20boudiccasand dont expect the doolies chipping ice off the train to know when the next train to Maidstone is
11:16.58boudiccasstation staff know naff all!
11:17.59boudiccasespecially at AShford International
11:20.00ChoHagIdiots. Tickets X and Y need to be done today. I know nothing about the area of the business they affect, so they have been given to me.
11:20.48ChoHagAnd one of them, one of the tickets which needs to be done today, depends on a application/proposal document being filled in which will be done "some time this week".
11:21.10boudiccasi was stuck there on the 3rd December for over two hours in the cold, dark night when i was waiting for a shuttle train back to Maidstone
11:21.50ChoHagSupposedly they should either help you get home or find you accomodation.
11:25.03george-sMorning! Has anyone come across the following error with ext3 quotas "edquota: Can't duplicate descriptor of file to write to: Bad file descriptor"
11:26.40boudiccasthe only station staff that i saw were a bloke having a fag outside the main entrance of the station, and four blokes chipping ice off a train. no offers of information, accomodation or anything else, and then when they did announce over the tannoy that teh train on platform 5 is the shuttle train to Maidstone, there was the mad rush to platform 5 when everyone was on platform 1 & 2! Not easy with a bulky suitcase to manage all those stairs, a
11:26.41boudiccasnd fearful that the train would go without you and that you'd be stuck for another two hours. oh joy!
11:28.17george-sHave posted to serverfault and centos with no joy. Remaking filesystem from scratch does not clear the error. Following centos docs and no obvious errrors until I  run edquota

11:47.18ChoHag1. Go to Lady Gaga category
11:47.18ChoHag2. Choose “Album” at left-nav
11:47.18ChoHag3. See search result - “VIEW ALL (X)” always returns 0
11:47.41ChoHagI want to tag it WONTFIX. Nobody should buy Lady Gaga albums.

12:54.44dick_turpinHow do you expect me to lip read a VDU screen?
12:56.49boudiccasyou need to wear your 3D specs to do it
13:23.09ChoHagA woman came to our house the other day while I was out and spoke to my wife about buying it (we've took it off the market for Christmas and to do some small improvements.
13:23.29ChoHagToday she texted me as a means to continuing this conversation.
13:23.45ChoHag1) I didn't think anyone above 20 texted as a matter of course.
13:23.55boudiccasChoHag, sounds hopeful then :)
13:24.09ChoHag2) I *really* didn't think anyone above 20 misused the English language like she does.
13:24.51boudiccasmaybe she isn't english, or english is her second language?
13:24.58ChoHag"Hi carl just textd me hs at wark at me. And hs busy. Hs signal went aswel."
13:26.15boudiccasi dont understand the fiurst sentence! but i see what you mean about the fractured english
13:29.59ChoHagThat's not fractured. That's butchered.
13:49.49antiphaseReport to immigration
13:53.28dick_turpinIsn't that text speak? Its crap text I'll agree but since when has the medium of texting been English?
13:53.56dick_turpinC U l8tr
13:54.26ChoHagI send text messages in English.
13:54.33ChoHagEven when I don't have a full keyboard.
13:54.59dick_turpinThat's not texting that is email
13:55.22ChoHagI send emails in not just English, but paragraphs as well.
13:55.30dick_turpinSnob
13:56.54antiphaseI'd vote for sterilisation on the grounds of use of txtspk these days
13:57.23antiphaseIt's not like there's a 160 character limit any more in practice, and you don't have to enter words with multiple keypresses per character
13:59.56dick_turpinActually I rarely use text speak unless I just want to say something quick. I much prefer email as most texts I get require a long response.
14:00.27dick_turpinWhy do people do that? If you need a sort of complex answer phone me!
14:01.08antiphaselol ur mum
14:09.57dick_turpindoes not know enough text speak to give antiphase a suitable response.
14:10.13AndyMillar"lol ur mums mum"
14:10.20ChoHagfu I think
14:10.38dick_turpinHahahaha

15:23.08PcSettHi - I think I'm beginning to settle down with this Fedora - I could even manage X-Chat.
15:24.22ChoHagFlying would be a lot easier if my wife and I were short.
15:24.32ChoHagNo matter how I manipulate the numbers, business class is expensive.
