I was alarmed by how close google maps can get to your window- they can't quite see through....yet. How marvellous for local crims to be able to study exteriors from the comfort of their 'puters. I hear other maps will be even more detailed, surely this can't be right? Who will be the first to invent some kind of gadget that shields you from these corporate spies.

I updated and live to regret it.


Kent Woolgrowers shop has (since my upgrade-ha ha) relocated to a car park in Ashford just of the station, complete with vert ramps and grind rails, not a rat-trap or Barbour in sight.


Though i'm quite moronically taken with the sat-nav that talks bit.


The way he says "at the roundabout take the second exit onto the A20eehhhhhhh" is fantastic


"Twent-aaaaaaay"


Also, I know London like the back of my hand, but i'm fekked if I recognise any of it on my maps now.


Is this an Apple thang ?


Lastly, why did my contacts go weird on my phone but stay as they should on my mac-Hmmmm, anyone ?

H,


But they only blur faces and so on don't they...not the whole of your house? Don't you have to give them an email address in order to get them to do this too..no biggy, but all extra info for the google meisters. Feels a bit like being the little animal at the watering hole and knowing you are being watched by the great, big hunter..

No it's quite clipped, maybe with a slight wiff of Edinburgh, with a little added "sleaze" to it.


But without the obvious James Bond "Ch-went-aaaaay"


So, one last time


"Twent-aaaaaaaay, oh yesh, Twent-aaaaaaaay times a day baaaay-bbbbby "

      Two tier PIP

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Like I said, the measure is needed but its badly thought through  Most people who become or are disabled don't choose it (i certainly didn't)  and often want to work but being disabled often adds costs to daily living so PIP is a valuable life line and carers are often taking strain of community support services so we can't begrudge their modest allowance.  I'm simply advocating that the vote on Tuesday is withdrawn until its properly consulted on and thought through.  Out of curiosity Angelina and Alice are either of you disabled or are you posting from a privileged point of view in life??

      Hi Marc   Could I message you too? I'm becoming so frustrated. The last straw is the lack of working barriers, for months now, that they didn't bother to sort before summer now leading to mega queues. So foreseeable.

      It isn't a blanket removal of support though is it. It's changing the criteria, so that those who need the support get it and those who need other support get that.

      There is a continuum of needs, so I think referring to everybody who claims PIP atm as the ‘most vulnerable’ in society is highly misleading.
