Has anyone here ever played Wordscapes?

Is that the game on your phone where you have a bunch of letters and have to make words out of them, and they have nice landscape pictures in the background?

That last call I took at work was fun. Came through 5 minutes before I was scheduled to finish my shift, went for about 45-50 minutes, and the customer had 9 children, and about 4 or 5 of them were screaming their lungs out in the background for the entirety of the call.

It's a pretty addictive game, isn't it?

Do you get paid for the extra 45 minutes?

Yeah, we can put in for overtime. Most of it gets taken out in tax though.

Would then get out like 15mins or so late and miss my train

Ok so in preparation for tomorrow night, i tried signing into my ticketmaster account on my phone. Both via the site (using explorer and chrome) + thru the link via the email.

Ive tried several times- it will not load.

I log onto the laptop- all fine, there are the tickets.

[Shell]

[Shell]

[Shell]

FINALLY. It has signed in.

After about 10 attempts. I guess can I leave it bookmarked? Or it will probably sign out/lapse after a while.

Remember when my brother and I used to work at the same supermarket, and we used to close at 5pm on Saturdays. We'd close the doors and have someone standing at the front door and tell folks we had closed. You'd get folks who would walk up and say something like "Oh, I only need to grab some milk or bread" or some crap like that.

Anyway, one day some guy rocked up on his bike and parked it next to the door. My brother watched as he got off his bike, rummaged around in his backpack for his lock, locked the bike, put his key back in his bag, put his bag back on his shoulder and walked up to the door and my brother goes "Sorry mate, we're closed."

Spoke too soon.

There's actually another link to hit. And got "SORRY! Something went wrong"
