I have just learned that one of my credit cards has been hacked 
Did the bank see suspicious transactions not overseas or on holidays/flights?

Bugger! Hopefully that will be readily sorted out. I had tons of hassle a few years back when my work credit card was skimmed after I had been to Istanbul. It took bloody months to resolve.
Apparently it was cloned back in May. Itās a Halifax card that I only use on my very occasional trips abroad, so as itās on a DD to clear the balance every month, I donāt really check the statements, big mistake, there was a lot of activity during June to do with Facebook sellers, payments (about 12) were taken and immediately refunded, weird. So today I get a text saying that I was very close to my limit, I knew that the only time I have used it in the last few months was in Greece, to pay the room tax of Ā£25. Luckily I rang straight away cos there were 10 payments pending. So no loss to me but a lesson learned 
Hope you donāt have to prove that one

Interesting fact about marathon runners shoes
They effectively have a spring in themā¦ bit cheaty to me
2:02:57 to finish a Marathon???
My other half has finished a marathon in under two hours, I had a kebab, a can of coke, 2 Mars bars and a lager in less than half hour last night. I donāt see what all the fuss is about. (

Either way Nike can get to fuck with their drug fuelled cheats on springs.

Luckily, I am told there is nowhere to move my stuff to while the builder is here. Therefore, I cannot renovate my room.
I am disappoint.

Speaking from experience 
This is something Iāve just learned while bored on Wiki.
The USS Cyclops is one of the more celebrated missing ships. It was lost with all hands in 1918 and no trace has ever been found.
Those of a more lurid disposition have ascribed this to the Bermuda Triangle. What I never realised to this day is that the Cyclops had three sisters. Two of them spent the best part of twenty years in reserve between the wars and were sold to the Aluminium Company of Canada. They were recommissioned as ore carriers in 1941ā¦ and both promptly vanished with no trace of either ever being found. While aliens are notionally a possibility, the most likely cause is structural failure resulting from metal parts of the ships being corroded from the coal they carried as US Navy colliers. Even so, weird huh?
(the 4th sister didnāt vanish. It was converted into USS Langley, the first aircraft carrier in the US Navy and was sunk by the rather more prosaic method of having the fuck bombed out of it).
