  1. @bicilibre I’ll take a dose of FUD over a broken set of bones any day.
  2. @Darkhogg It’s not so much the seeing, more the space I have so that cars don’t swipe me off with nary a thought.
  3. @phuunet @leampack I’m on my way!
  4. @tjobbe Does their client-side software work on OS X?
  5. @tjobbe I have no idea – it's one of payroll's systems.
  6. @tjobbe It's an encrypted, self-extracting attachment (which doesn't work on OS X). I wouldn't even want an encrypted server-side solution.
  7. @tjobbe We have the option here – email or physical. Vast majority (>95%) of employees choose to have theirs via physical payslip.
  8. @tjobbe Payslips are something that I would much prefer to have in physical paper form, with as few people as possible seeing the details.
  9. @dnewns @simonbanyard Oh ye of little fa… oh who am I kidding.
  10. Literally conspiring with @sil.
  11. @markjames I'm also using cookies to spy on you. And steal your lunch money. And insert nested tabs into all of your designs. Mwuhahaha!
  12. @geekSquared Totally agree – but then that person is clearly just an idiot. Like the idiot cyclists that cycle three abreast on the roads.
  13. I appear to be sharing thoughts with @markjames.
  14. The FUD being spread about cookies by people who really should know better is astounding. The confusion over it by lawmakers is astounding.
  15. @coldclimate I'm surprised I didn't have half a million of them waiting for me on Monday morning.
  16. @gaznet They certainly sound like Microsoft Minutes to me.
  17. "Dear Anthony, did you know you are risking a £500,000 fine – per cookie – on your website?" Oh fuck off. *delete*
  18. @geekSquared Even where there is a cycle lane, it still scares me on the road, and I'd never go on the road with my son on the bike with me.
  19. @geekSquared I, for one, would not cycle on the road where there is no cycle lane. Too many idiots blind to cyclists on the roads.
