Verbal abuse.?
It is the politest, most grovelling and most fawning post I have ever seen on here.
Harrumph.
Things may be different later after a few snorterinos (as Dennis Thatcher was allegedly known to speak).

Did you know (from March 2020) ... ... What's the purpose of the Sneek surveillance system? The purpose of Sneek isn't surveillance, Currie said, but office culture. "We've worked from home for 10+ years and one of the biggest things that starts to creep in is that sense of isolation, it does really affect people's mental health," he said. "Employees at home are being photographed every 5 minutes by an always-on video service to ensure they're actually working — and the service is seeing a rapid expansion since the coronavirus outbreak" www.businessinsider.com/work-from-home-sneek-webcam-picture-5-minutes-monitor-video-2020-3

Did you know ... ... "Guy Fawkes was the last man to enter Parliament with good intentions. You need another like me to carry on his good work." Quote from A.D. Wintle "Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Daniel Wintle MC, better known as A. D. Wintle, (30 September 1897 – 11 May 1966) was a British military officer in the 1st The Royal Dragoons who served in the First and Second World Wars. He was the first non-lawyer to achieve a unanimous verdict in his favour in the House of Lords, and is considered one of London's greatest eccentrics.[1][2]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Wintle

He seems a pretty decent sort of cove (except for his approval of the troublemaking papist Fawkes). I see there was a TV movie about him and he also had a book published.

Did you know ... it's 08:00 and no BM members seem active apart from yours truly. Obviously the BM type of animal also hibernates when it gets colder

I don't want to be paranoid but ... "Playing jigsaw on my roof: They can ID you from your hygiene habits Pat McGovern knew his way around a trash can Spies in space are watching me as I take a shower. I know this because I have just now worked out where the weak link in my home defences lies: it's the boiler. My neighbours only have to lock their front doors and they feel safe. Me, I'm at risk every time I turn on the hot tap." www.theregister.com/2021/12/10/something_for_the_weekend/

I'm not one to start shouting "beware, beware, the end is near" but I suggest proper preparations. Did you know ... ... Tuesday, February 1st 2022 starts the year of our Tiger. Don't tell me I didn't warn you

Did you know ... ... "The Grand Old Duke of York" (also sung as The Noble Duke of York) is an English children's nursery rhyme, often performed as an action song. The eponymous duke has been argued to be a number of the bearers of that title, particularly Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany (1763–1827) and its lyrics have become proverbial for futile action. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 742. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Old_Duke_of_York
