A friend often sends me funny facebook things he see on his travels. What in the universal credit is going on here

I think your mate might be looking for a new job very soon, sharing private home interior pics and address details online asking to be sacked.

sacked for failure to respect customer's privacy = council
Failure to recognise it was a Facebook post his friend had shared rather than a photo - Council

A few years back I dropped the car off for a quick warranty fix. It'd only be two or three hours. Perfect, I thought, I'll drop it off first thing, walk into town and get a 'Spoons breakfast, make the most of the free WiFi and do a bit of admin work.

I got there at 8.15, and there were already people queueing up for their second pints.
Seeking out free wi-fi. Council.

Also, calling it "Spoons". He only missed a full house because he didn't say "I went Spoons".

You wanna try being a boomer!

I was sauntering around town a few months ago, when I remembered that my wife had told me that I needed to get my haircut - I'm still blessed with my 1970s hair. smile

I flit between a couple of barbers that I've been using since the early 70s, but on a whim I walked into a recently-opened establishment.

I enquired if it was possible to have a trim, confirming that I didn't have an appointment.

The hairdresser/receptionist glanced at four empty chairs, looked at the, I presumed, appointment diary, and asked me for my email address.

WTF!

There ensued a curt conversation.

He try to explain to the, aged, luddite the benefits of issuing the address, but was left in no doubt that it would not be forthcoming - he seemed, genuinely, bewildered by this.

He deigned to provide the trim.

Fifteen mins later, I thanked him and left - after paying by 'phone.

LOL, my 64yo colleague always gets the arse on and goes off on a rant when he's asked for his email address when purchasing something in a physical shop, "why do they want me email", " they aren't having it", "they just want to spam me" he got so incensed recently he stormed out and ordered it from Amazon.......

I'm not a boomer by any means but my local barber has now only started accepting appointment bookings via Insta-fking-gram. I've tried looking on their page and it's just photos. No booking link, nothing. Doesn't help that I don't know how Instagram works, but still, you utter fking s. It makes me so angry. I'd rather walk round with long paedo hair than bend to their hipster app-wk agenda. Just writing this gets me so incensed, I'm gonna have a lie down.

Yep, the missus insists on taking her lad for a £15 haircut monthly even though the haircut he gets looks no different than what he had before just ever so slightly shorter. He did once try one of these modern skin fades, got loads of complements from people at school etc, only people that didn't like it was his dad (who has the same haircut as him) and grandparents.

It has to be booked and paid for by app, an app that only one person can have on their phone at one time, so on the occasions I take him, if I download it and login, then it boots her out etc. God knows why they cant just have a card machine.

Skin fade is what the spotty youths all have , looks like someone stuck a bowl on their heads and shaved the rest of the head down the skin. Looks particulary daft like some poverty stricken wartime kids.
As my mother used to say, if I sent you out the house looking like that, you would be crying.

I'd guess they're buttons to operate a disabled wash and dry toilet. The grey oval just below the seat, with two circles within. These circles will be retractable water jets, which wash your rear. To avoid having to drip dry fans then operate. My older brother has Cerebral Palsy, and there was one for him in the house I grew up in. I wound up a few mates with it, getting them to look down the toilet at 'something odd', then resting a foot on the rear of the toilet seat (it had a weight sensor so it knew when to function) and giving them a jet of water to the face biglaugh

There’s a strong correlation between these haircuts and the inability to drive without forcing people in houses to listen to your crap taste in music as you pass.

I remember getting the piss ripped out of me at school for my basic "basin" haircut, although it wasn't as bad as this new skin fade thing.

Looks like I was just a trendsetter who was 30-odd years ahead of my time.
