      The phone is a piece of shit but it's basic and fairly easy for him to use so it serves a purpose but in no way worthy of such a contract.

        Hard to believe someone in that line of work didn't know what they were doing. He could have got a Galaxy S10 on that contract price/length free with unlimited calls/texts/data.

        Edit - I agree with 6Star that the way to go in his case is the unlimited prepaid plans for under 20 but the guy who sold the ridiculous package could have at least given him a fancy phone if he was going to upsell and be a cunt.

          Given the amount of monthly plans for 20 quid and under that give unlimited minutes, even 45 a month is a ridiculous amount to pay. Also, yes, people that take advantage of older people are utter cunts.

              Loads of plans out there tell them to stick there contract up there holes. I’d be raging and as for the handy man coming in and sob stories not a bit surprising. When you have been around poker gambling nothing to do with scamming snakery would surprise me.

                          Went into my notifications page just there, and this thread had had 14 posts, so when i clicked it like i usually would and be expected to go to the last post that would be new to me, it brought me to a page that said i had no authorization to be there. Had to go through the main page.
                          This too shall pass.

                                So my workmate, a sound lad real good craic, get on great with him has been sending me a few BLM memes over Whatsapp. Ranging from mildly funny to kinda a bit, eh, racist.

                                'How to break up a BLM protest' with a kid shouting 'Are you my Dad?'. That sort of thing. Stuff I wouldn't share on.

                                How do you deal with that?

                                I just replied to him calling him a mad cunt.

                                  Ya,I've no idea what this is about at the moment. I'll see if I can figure it out, but haven't looked yet. I know shraaaaap mentioned something like this recently too, but I have limited time to check these things out these days. Feel free to remind me again if I haven't mentioned it in a while.

                                    It's the 'reputation' thingy, which is driven by likes and so on. In theory you can get negative points for things (mod actions mostly) and positive things. I have it set up very basically at the minute as it's a bit daft really. The 'levels' are defined by me,so I put about 2 seconds thought into a few words like 'ok, good, great, fantastic, stupendous' and so on.

                                              Only 45 minutes into it but been a good conversation so far with people of different viewpoints. Never heard of either of the guests before. She seems smart as a whip and already bitch slapped Joe a few times.

                                                Ask him not to send you racist memes. Calling him a mad cunt is tacitly agreeing to take part in racist discourse.

                                                Edit: Actually, just reading this is in the workplace. Are you his boss? That makes it much more severe.

                                                      The version of this I saw had that lad (and his lad) sitting on the cop, not George Floyd, but the cop had been shopped into the place of George Floyd.

                                                                  I was dropping supplies over to my Dad over the weekend and he lets slip he got a large phone bill. When I looked at the text from 3, it was for 175 quid. I thought that couldn't be right and said I'd check it out. Now, the amount isn't the issue, he can pay it but something didn't seem right to me on it.

                                                                  I rang 3 and pretended to be my Dad and played dumb asking why the bill was so high. Turns out he's on a plan from way back, one that does exist anymore which is 150 minutes for about 55 quid a month and when he changed his phone recently, they kept him on the same plan. I tell them I want to change as there is better options out there but am told I'm locked into a two year contract so essentially tough luck.

                                                                  I change tact at this point and tell them I'm not my Dad and I'm not happy about this only to be told they can't deal with me due to Data Privacy laws so I hand the phone to my Dad who tells them I am authorized to deal on his behalf. I let 3 know that Dad is in his late 70's, not really got the full faculties and that whoever worked in the shop where he changed his phone clearly took advantage of him by keeping him on a plan that no longer existed and that I wasn't going to let this lie.

                                                                  All of a sudden the tone is changed and I'm asked if I can be put on hold. 10 minutes later, I'm told the bill will be a 90 quid refund to the bill and the plan will be changed to 350 minutes for 45 a month. I know there is better options out there but thought this was a decent result without having to try get the whole contract voided and starting elsewhere.

                                                                  I tried to see if this was the 1st large bill he got but he swerved all questions and I think he was a bit embarrassed which annoyed me more.

                                                                  Then just before I left, he says, it all about money this week, which has me worried. Turns out the lad that has been coming in to do a bit of gardening for my Dad has been coming back afterwards and asking for extra cash, not for the work done but coming out with sob stories . Dad claims he hasn't given him anything but I have my doubts.

                                                                  I phoned your man today so he won't be asking for any more cash and he won't be doing any more work either.

                                                                  Really bugs me that people try take advantage of elderly people

                                                                  "Hope you like free advertising lads because your about to get plenty"

                                                                  They really don't need or want hassle so use that against them

                                                                                        I thought it could be similar to Airplane! But I'm two eps from finishing it and I dunno, has bits of modern political satire with the trump Twitter thing, China and Russia, Carell trying maybe to continue his The Office character too much, had a line that reminded me of his Brick character in Anchorman too.

                                                                                        It's prob aiming for a multi season run, but I cant see the bigger cast staying unless it's silly money involved.

This is quite obviously so when it comes to crime etc but surely if it is incorrect for a white person to share a meme, racist or not, it should be equally incorrect for a black person to do so?

                                                                                                                      It's almost as if context matters, right? Just like kicking someone in the balls.

                                                                                                                      Like, if I am on the ground with someone standing over me holding a knife and threatening to kill me I think I would be justified in kicking them in the balls.
                                                                                                                      If, however, I was walking down Grafton Street and saw a small boy with an ice-cream cone enjoying a walk with his mother, I would not be justified to administer the same ball-kicking.

                                                                                                                      It's almost as if the context in which people do things matters, right?

                                                                                                                      Like if I am a black man who faces racist slurs on a regular basis as well as having to deal with all sorts of unconscious biases that even the most right-on, equality for all people can't help but exhibit, then I think I get to choose what memes I want to use when the subject of the meme is my race, nationality etc.

                                                                                                                      But when someone who is a member of the group who most often is responsible for the racism decides that they want to use the same meme, well that could be problematic. Or, to put it another way, racist.

                                                                                                                      The same act is not the same thing no matter who does it. It's almost as if context matters, right?
