Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

How does a kid get access to your account? My lad who is 8 has his own sign in, but the only way he can spend cash is if I pay some onto his account to use.

Genuinely worried now in case there is a loophole!

The little **** somehow clocked what the password was.

It's all good, as we've been refunded. :phew:

Good news DL, I assume this type of thing happens a lot, if they are handing out refunds.

Hang on, I remember taking advice from you a few years back on internet security. :lol:

I was going to say, companies do generally refund when a young kid has done such a thing. Glad that is off your mind.

I don't even know the X-Box password, so him clocking it as it's being entered, well that ball's firmly in Mrs DL's court :D

It is what it is. SSP for first 9 days, then 70% pay for 4 weeks, then zilch. Have to make a claim up to the social now, just to get something.

Frustrating thing is, back in August, I moved to the new contract voluntarily that gives you a better salary to take home, but the sick pay is awful. As I'd only had 3 individual days off sick in the previous 3 years (and one of those was because I didn't fancy going in!) it was what suited me at the time.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Be honest - you used his name as your password, didn't you?

Reminds me of the time I logged onto my cousin's laptop using her password - did it on the second attempt (her name in lower case with 1 at the end).

Be careful with that **** dude. I know you have the capability to keep up with the boy with technology so you probably should.

My wife went to a talk by the mother of Breck Bednar and their story is as tragic as they come. If his parents had had more involvement with his online activities then things may well have been very different.

Chicken Pox. Eldest currently has it. Spots everywhere, itching like crazy. Stuck in the house. The other two are bound to get it, so it's likely going to be 3 weeks worth of kids stuck in house going crazy.

This news article:

So basically, the further you live from a hospital, the longer it will take an ambulance to reach you. An amazing conclusion.

Kicking myself for not picking up 2 dark chocolate Bounty’s for £1 when I had the chance earlier.
