When mobiles started becoming cheaper I got one of the early analogue ones back in 1993, someone had put my number on flyers so I kept getting calls for illegal raves, got so fed up with the abuse that in the end I just gave them all an address for a random farm in the middle of nowhere.
Luckily it stopped after a month or so.
Shouldâve sent them to Bramshill House - lovely Jacobean pile set in 260 acres of very pretty Hampshire. It would then have been the Police Staff College.
The wife has been working solidly since Friday lunchtime on a sev 1 / cat A / âItâs all fucked Dave. Dave, itâs all fuckedâ.
From the thumbs up she just gave me (sheâs basically on a constant Teams meeting) I think she / they might have worked out what the problem is.
Excellent, hopefully you can now get on with your retirement in the peace and quiet (apart from going to gigs obv) that you deserve.

It currently looks like backwash from a major outage with a cloud supplier.
The only sev 1 Iâve seen, where they really did call DR, was a flooded basement that was full of computers.

blast from the past, used to work on those from v3.4 through to v7 Realitis
We probably have 2-3 P1 incidents per month, normally silly things but the latest should win a prizeâŚ
a lazy developer pointed the official government hostname to their AWS tenant hostname using a cname which then expired because only the company knew about it.
The MiL and her three daughters have a Skype call every Friday at 6.30. This has been going on since the first lockdown.
Every single week MiL is incredibly quiet, her speakers donât work, etc. etc.
The wife finally bought her a ÂŁ70 Anker mic / speaker USB puck this week, and her neighbour fitted it yesterday.
Theyâre on now and IT ACTUALLY WORKS.
No more half an hour of âcan you hear us?â, âwe canât hear youâ, âno, the volume icon!â etc.
IT JUST WORKS.
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord
