I just find it bizarre. Other people like myself and that guy can still put our bikes where they've left their locks and still use the rack. Like the guy said they must have money to just waste as these locks are expensive. If I buy an expensive lock I would be using it all the time and taking it everywhere my bike goes I couldn't afford to just leave it on the floor like that 🙂
Or perhaps they are so rich that they leave a lock at all their usual biking destinations and therefore only have to carry multiple keys 🤔

It’s annoying how random it is when Duolingo passes you & simply points out your typo vs failing you because you had a typo
I can struggle with the written answers due to my dyslexia. No doubt why I utterly failed at French in school. 😂
What languages are you learning? I started Spanish and Scottish Gaelic recently but I've not used it in a couple of weeks, need to try again later.

When I got to the skate park today it was 5am. There were these two blokes walking separately around it really looking for something. Usually I would ask, you know, have you lost something? but I felt like they were up to no good; I'm not sure what they were looking for.
Great to hear you've gone again. And well done for going at 5am 😲(y)

My gut instinct says - they were looking for some weed, one of them the dropped the night before. :p

If there was a 50-50% chance of your memory being 100% wiped by going trough doorways I’d be absolutely terrified of doorways. I’m glad that’s not the case. But I would aprichiate if I could remember why the heck I left the living room 😵‍💫

Oh, I sadly know that feeling, it just becomes more frequent the older you get. 😉

I've been trying to commit phone numbers to my memory in case I need them in the future but it's proving to be difficult. I guess since I don't dial these numbers on a phone very often, I have to use new mnemonic devices instead of say, muscle memory and repetition. So instead of 5 8 2 9, I'll prob think, 58, 29.

Or ya know, just fake dial their numbers every so often.
You could try using the letters below the numbers to make up words and sentences instead.

I don't have kids (thank God) but it really bothers me that supermarkets in the UK don't allow infant formula to either count towards or be redeemed by their rewards systems. I'm betting it's pretty expensive to feed an infant so the loss to people with young kids is probably significant. Is it part of some twisted 'Breast is Best' campaign? Or companies just managed to find another way to exploit people?
If often questioned this as well. It's always Baby Formula and Alcohol. I get the alcohol not being included, but not the baby formula. It just seems quite bizarre.

Lucky I started using that pill box because I could have sworn I'd taken my pills this morning but when I went out to get another coffee they were still sitting in there. And it's already lunch-time.
The system works 😊(y)

A mate of mine has the same problem with getting his books sent off once he's sold them. He also has a problem with loading them onto the database we use. (or the one I should be using) He hires some kid and pays her 50 bucks an hour to do it for him. No way I'm doing that. I just need to get my act together.
I used to use Abe Books in the place I used to work. The store manager's Uncle had a 2nd book store next door, but they weren't online at the time. So would we get stock through to sort online and to use it as a price guide.

That's interesting mate - I didn't know you were in the book trade. Yes, Abebooks is fantastic - I used to sell on there years ago. I need to get my act together and start loading my books on the database but for some reason I seem to have a mental block about it - I find it hard to get started. I'm relatively okay with placing ads on Ebay so I should be okay eventually.

A lot of book collectors use it and my sales would increase - my friend has been doing very well and he hardly even has any books on there. Only a hundred or two.

I wasn't 😁 I worked in a separate shop, but we helped out the family bookshop next door. It was interesting dealing with the books some of the time. They mostly sold in store back then, but we helped them with getting some rarer stuff online.
I'd guess they do much more internet sales now, then back then.


I often procrastinate over getting things done for ages and then once I've done it, I wonder what the hell I was making such a fuss about.🙄

I hope you can get your head in the right space soon and get the stuff done you're needing to. 👍

I went to sleep with my mascara on. Lol I'll just end up putting it on again tomorrow for my birthday so I'll have to take it off when I get home today.

Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day! 🥳🍾🎂🥂🎉🥳

Yea, this is my first time it's happened with me.
I'm pretty good with taking care of my stuff and had this phone for almost two years, so I guess its about time for it to happen. Mine's a Samsung galaxy. I could buy a charger off eBay but I'm not sure how long they'd last.

I was pretty annoyed with it last night cause when I would try to charge it, it showed it charging but then it would go down a percent and sometimes, it goes up. So, that makes it even worse. It finally fully charged, though.

Used my roommate's charger and it instantly worked.

Does it not have USB port for charging? In which case, replacing the cable would sort it.
