Apparently, I took a one week free trial at the beginning of Jan, and then it signed me up to a rolling six quid a month subscription.
Only found out when I saw an Apple invoice email last night. Got the money back but the only thing I hate more than capitalists are people who claim to be right-on lefties while rinsing the system for as much money as they can {other than me, obv. I'm allowed to cos I'm me.}
They are skint, give them another couple of years before the plug is pulledQuote:

No. I didn't even ask for the week's free trail. Their begging bits asking me to subscribe to help them beat the right come up at the bottom of every article and I always X it. I never ever asked for this free trail. That's why I said "Apparently" I took a one week trial.Quote:

Fair enough GG - missed the apparently. Thieving scum :thumbup:Quote:

Yes, saw that on Twitter. F'ing loon.Quote:

Other piece from Simon Evans is https://unherd.com/2020/02/why-mock-...ing/?=frbottom
Yes, that was my favourite, too. Although the opening line ran it a close second. :hehe:Quote:

Fair play, LA. Now worries.Quote:

No way would I subscribe to that.
I have two back up plans where you would all be very welcomeQuote:

They're scum. They claimed they'd just copied and pasted it from some other set of terms. The fact their motto is "don't do evil" is really rubbing our noses in it.
To be fair some of us can read above primary school levels, hQuote:

Anyway, more interestingly, as revealed during the gig, he recently found out (through a DNA test) that he's half-Jewish! His real dad was a prolific Jewish sperm doner who fathered over 1,000 children. The upshot of this is that in seconds Simon Evans went from thinking he was an only child to having over 1,000 half-siblings (many of whom he has now connected with in real life).
Mental, huh?
Prob best not to mention anything on Twitter to avoid spoilers.
Yes. He does look quite Jewish, now I think about it.Quote:
