I need to know....

No criticism BTW, I just couldn’t be assed spending my free time at the pub.

A couple of hours a week doesn't kill me.
I have lots of free time so I'm lucky.
But I don't waste time being sick at times like a lot of people do.
Or shit like fantasy teams, podcasts, exercise, following shit footy clubs, worrying about mediocre football players, etc.
I'm amazed how much time people waste on stuff like that.
Mate, I have so much spare time I went back to working full time after being semi retired I was that bored.

Does anyone else have a TV remote battle with their neighbours?
If we're in our lounge room watching TV at the same time as them they keep turning the volume down and we keep turning it up.
Luckily we only find ourselves in the lounge room watching TV once every month or two so it's not a major inconvenience.

What brand of tv? I think LG will allow you to change frequency on the remote and tv to avoid a clash. Other brands like Sony let you change from IR to Bluetooth control for same reason.

Samsung.
As I said before we're actually rarely in the lounge room but I do enjoy the battle when it happens.

We do have a tiny back yard and front yard but wouldn't want it any other way, hate gardening.
And the estate is really like a maze but we love that as it keeps the streets really quiet in a busy area.
The 3 houses around us are massive by comparison with ours but if anything we'd prefer something smaller.
The wall where out TV is on a wall which borders the property, never been next door but if their lounge was set up like ours in reverse their TV could be less than a couple of metres away. Mind you the houses are far apart enough to not be able to hear any noise and they do have a pathway on that side of their house (ours is on the opposite side of the property). It is a weird set up though, there's a tiny 1 metre by 4 metre outside area outside our 2 spare bedrooms only accessible by a door in the garage on the same side next to the lounge where the TV is.
Probably a faulty sound system as it's only the volume that does it but it only happens randomly, it's weird.

Geezus, I almost bored myself to sleep reading that. I'm turning into a poor man's Psyber!

Turned on the phone this morning to find an afterpay verification code SMS waiting for me. I've never used afterpay in my life. Wasn't a typical scam SMS 'coz there wasn't a link to click; just a verification number.

So did 'er indoors, and so did a bloke at work.

Anyone else?

Dont click on anything unless you're 100% sure (ie) you have double checked

First thing is to check the source e-mail address beagleboy@imgonnastealyerstuff.com is a good indication

OK, but how do they scam you without supplying a dodgy link to click?
