Websites that don't let you use 'previously used passwords'

I now have to go straight to the reset password each time just to create a new word that I know will be lost on me within minutes...

They do make password managers, as I'm sure you know; there's one built in to Chrome. I use BitDefender's Password Manager which will generate a random password for you based on the available character libraries you choose but there are a lot of options. I also have an AES encrypted Notes file/list on a BitLocked HDD for stuff done prior to using a password manager but you have to have Windows Pro to do that. With over 60 passworded logins via all the BS I've signed up with online over the decades, it's the only way to fly for me these days and it just gets worse. It went up by like 15 just from all the medical crap I've gone through recently. If you do go that route, always use their export facility and put it on an external drive so you can restore said login/passwords later if needed...assume the worst. I use sites that have an email addy as the login name which I haven't had for over a decade; to remember that and the password is too much for the tiny filing cabinet between my ears.
 

Having read and agreed with many posts in this thread on the issue of noise in shared spaces, I am glad that some individuals in positions of power are starting to acknowledge that this is an issue which needs to be resolved. I still think that there is plenty of work to be done, however.

The number of people having loud telephone conversations at 7.20am on my commute is bewildering. I've a broad and extremely prejudicial categorisation:

1. Tradies (boss) - "nah, we need the farking lifter at Old Street by 9.30 for when the cross-laminate timber arrives."

2. Tradies (employee) - "I'll be in at 9.30 for when the cross laminate timber arrives."

3. Youngster calling mate, girlfriend/boyfriend, mum - "how did you sleep? Yeh. No, just work. Yeh. Yeh. Did you get the pepperoni in the end? Yeh."

4. Person having beef - "I told him, fam, that he had until thursday to stop contacting her otherwise I'd mess him up. Well I will do won't I?"

5. Foreign language businessman - usually men, always loud, verging on shouting.

6. Foreign language personal call - usually women, usually quiet, same pace and timbre as 'youngster calling mate, girlfriend/boyfriend, mum'.

8. Tarquin/Hortensia organisation call - "yah. Yah. Well if you pick up Felicity and take her to the stables then I'll have time to organise Noah's playdate with Oliver. No the other Oliver. Ok. Ok. You too. Ciao. Bye."

Short version; the general public at large.
 

What a Scumbag!

Read that report. Typical reply from people like him. He’s not sorry. He’s sorry for all the blowback and how it hurt his reputation. He’s sorry he got caught and now he’s walking it back during his apology tour. He knew what he was doing.

Players don’t typically give away shirts or other mementos to old guys. I never once saw Grealish take off his jersey and tell a 6 year old boy, “Sit down. Not you, brat. This goes to the 62 year old business man behind you.”

As much as I agree with your point of view on this matter, I must admit that I find it quite irritating when supporters ask a player for some item of clothing or equipment. Players are well within their rights to give these items away to supporters and should be applauded for doing so, but supporters have no right to ask for these items in my opinion. Some may argue that those who do not ask simply do not get the items either way, but the choice to give away such items should lie solely with the player without supporter influence.

You've got the basics for a TV soap script there! Go for it.

Previously used password is quite a good password if you haven't used it before

I think age plays apart in things like this. I suspect he has always got away with doing whatever he wants and people are to afraid to call him out. Now everything gets filmed & he gets outed for being the selfish bell he has been his entire adult life and is trying to row back.
Social Media has few positives in my opinion, but things like this are definitely one.
