In my case, debit card doesn't have it, 'silly' credit card does, 'good, we'd really like you to spend loads' credit card doesn't :roll:

Thank you for your message.

I confirm that we will be offering an 'opt' out of contactless cards but I am unable to advise when this will be implemented, but it will be shortly.

I advise that we cannot disable it from your current card and the process would be to order a new card that does not have the contactless chip.

So in a nut shell.
At some point in the near future you'll be able to order a new card that isn't contactless. But they're not sure when.

Arggghhhhh. The [LIFTED]!

Spent all yesterday morning and this morning running some hydraulics modeling and putting the results into nice graphs on a nice report. Just finished when the customer emailed be changing half of the inputs.
Got to do two thirds of it again now.

Absolute bellends!

Those local government fcuking arseholes are looking to privatise Belfast Harbour - never mind that it made £27m in pre-tax profit in 2013 and should trounce that for last year. That it punches above it's weight becuase it's location means imports and exports on air, sea and land across the UK's islands and an area of Europe. Or that those revenue streams are actually increasing. No, let's sell it to the Chinese!

We've enough fcuking problems with Triad traffickers of every description (they aren't remotely afraid of the paramilitaries), so we'll let them corrupt the port owners! The harbour is in 'loyalist' East Belfast, and even Sinn Fein think it's a bloody bad idea, but the unionists? No, the Tory party just organised a bit too late over here for them, they're in full support of flogging it. And a word of warning just in case, UKIP over here are licking their lips at the thought of the sale. I really hope the mainland sees sense with those bastards, it won't just be people they'll be looking to shift.

Somehow I've lost one of the thumbstick grips off my PS3 controller - once you're used to them, using the controller otherwise is a pain in the hole :x

Oh yeah. My CoD kill rate went up with the grips. When I lost one, I had to take the other off and I struggled.

I've ordered some more, should be here by Monday. Bloody annoying though when I already had the Coke set up and some AC/DC going in the background for playing MW2...

It's a set of four and will apparently fit the PS4 controllers too :? :| . What I'm curious about is Amazon reviewers saying their PS4 sticks are worn down and that's why they ordered them :o

Captchas... There has to be a better way! You'd need to be on LSD to get some of them, and even when you find one that looks vaguely like the letters of the alphabet it doesn't work :evil:

I've see a great captcha system the requires you to identify an item from a photo of four objects eg a 2x2 square of apple, banana, pear, pineapple and you have to click on the banana.

Didnt realise ps4 thumbgrips were wearing out. That's worrying.

That's a fantastic start for Lords of the Fallen on PS4 - a 5.5Gb patch. In other words it must have been severely broken on release. This is partly why I rent games these days or just send them straight back. It's taking the piss.

My parents have invited some randomner into the kitchen (?) just at lunch time and then get on like the pair of arrogant morons they are by complaining when the Asda order turns up at the back gate. Oh, and it was loaded with subs but I couldn't really stand there in front of said randomner and turn down half the order - the situation was embarrassing enough at that point. It's been one of those retarded days already.

Someone woke me up today with a text at 5am and when I pulled him up for not apologising it was my fault for having my phone on.

What the phone that is used for my job and has to be on for emergencies? That phone yeah?

Someone decided up barged onto my train as doors were shutting and broke sensitive edge. Been detrained so now me and a few other hundred people are trying to get on a full and standing train at Putney. Just because someone was a dick.
