More vodafone bullshit - cancelling my dad's broadband and landline for who knows what reason as this is the first he heard about it. Note that they sent the email 2 days after their deadline for him to stop them cancelling his account. Helpful

Time to settle the debate once and for all. Is Muppet Christmas Carol a Christmas movie?
Turns out that having a kid with your Spanish wife is a pretty good motivator for ramping up your efforts to learn Spanish!
(Now, if Spotify unwrapped is anything to go by, I'll see a ton of people sharing that they are top 0.005% and I'll feel silly for sharing this...)
Coolest thing in this year's #SpotifyWrapped for me: my listening most closely matches listeners in my old home town! Seems like Southampton's listeners are a lot cooler than I realised and also have problems getting their baby to sleep
I am so incredibly angry at how useless @VodafoneUK is. Getting anything done takes months. My mum died in the summer and I still haven't managed to deal with the accounts under her name with them. Like a form submitted in September and not really sorted yet...

So, clearly still all useless.
Also, every call ending with them saying "Is there anything else I can help you with?" always makes me mad, because I've spoken to loads of people and none of them has really helped me once, so let's just try to do one thing before "anything else"
In ridiculous privacy policies: talking on the phone to Volvo about returning my mum's car, because she died, and I'm told that the only person they can speak to about the specifics of the account is the account owner, my mum... Hope they're employing a medium
Feels hard to claim this wasn't targeted? We wouldn't be talking about it if a random wedding had orange confetti?
Also, after that whole email thing, surely this is the part of the day that they would be able to laugh about, so it's ridiculous to feel sympathy over *this*

Dear @itvnews, I am sure this is a lovely, intelligent and decent human being. This was an important piece. This is not however a struggling 'mother'.
This framing of it just made me realise one way in which I'm a hypocrite on this issue: deep down, I really think I have no accent (because I have a southern, UK accent like people on the BBC or whatever) and accents are the way people from elsewhere speak. Soz.
