    I may have just caused a slight domestic.

    MrsB bought an Amazon Echo a couple of weeks back. Being bored today at client co. I decided to see if I could troll her with it via the App. Started it playing random selections of bad country music stations, changing station every couple of minutes as well, just to add to the irritation factor.

    Got a text from her about 10 minutes ago telling me that she was fed up with it paying crap music for no apparent reason while she was watching telly and that she'd boxed it back up and was sending it back for a refund.....

      Lol... That's beautiful. You will of course be going along with this and not fessing up I would guess.

      I had some fun on spotify when the kids were playing music over PS4. They can tell which device is changing it on that though.

          Home!

          Some unspecified incident was causing "delays" on the final stretch of the A14, so I took the A6 instead. For some reason the traffic this afternoon has been quite light, so as I didn't set off until nearly five, it wasn't a bad run

            Are you home, or has this post been smuggled out on a USB stick via a leaky raft to Florida?

              Email from pimp: "Just checking in really to see what your work situation is at the moment", followed by a couple of completely unsuitable roles.

              It's from the pimp for my current gig

              Might reply along the lines of "If this is your way of telling me there won't be an extension, you could have phrased it more directly"

                I am home in body, if not in spirit.

                  Spirit? You mean rum?

                    Just spotted a rather splendidly named boozer: the hat and beaver. The mind boggles.

                      Haven't slept for 30 hours - a drink would finish me off.
