    Not a workshy fop at all. So much so that i have not used my holiday allowance so I have to use that up or I lose it. Besides, I'm travelling 3500 miles to spend the holidays with the in laws.

    Oh I say, I do all within my not unsubstantial powers to completely avoid my in-laws at this time of the year.

    God bless different countries and the distance therein.

    Thanks b, that means a lot. I feel better now. :sniff:

    Did you hear that Wetherspoons decided to delete their entire marketing database to be on the safe side? Not that they need one, of course.

    I have to compose an email right now to a future software supplier explaining for about the third time the data structure we need to comply with the GDPR, having spend about two hours previously on the phone to them explaining what was required.

    Yes. Now about those diamond-encrusted underpants - I’m pretty sure the diamonds are supposed to go on the outside

    Actually, I call myself a magazine editor these days. For some reason, calling myself this rather than a journalist means I pay lower insurance premiums. Fúck knows why.

    I’m back on the 2nd, which I think is indecently early. Sometimes one can stretch these Christmas breaks into nearly three weeks.

    To be fair, I have a brilliant relationship with my in laws. We haven't done Christmas with them since 2008. We'll also be skiing as they live about 30 minutes from 3 ski resorts

    Probably suggests the Spoons never had any type of consent controls in the first place. Can’t imagine they have or need a huge marketing machine anyway, a person that wishes to attend Monday night curry club does so irrespective of an email arriving in their inbox.

    It’s all a massive pain in the *******s, as we have discussed and now our HR friend (Nazi?) has also confirmed. I had reached the point where my boss was basically taking the piss and giving all the work to me so I have told him I am not willing to become the company DPO. Have to say the atmosphere is frostier than Tony the Tiger.
