Just converted leftovers from a meal a vegetarian friend cooked for me on Monday into a lamb casserole. Feeling slightly evil.

@UrsulaWJ That’s taking customer service to new levels :(

@Shonette If they don’t get a Dangermouse reference they’re clearly not worth the trouble.

Right. Anyway, as the consummate adult and responsible person I am, if anyone wants me, I’ll be in a corner, crying.

via Echofon

@ahnlak Maybe. Although actually, I think they are all-electronic now.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak That would have worked, if I’d had the payslip.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak No, I’m sure it’s actually quite simple. But if you realise that all the paperwork with your UTR on it is at your accountant…

Started to wonder if companies pick Luxembourg because their tax office actually answers the fucking phone rather than because of the rates.

I have paid my corporation tax. I didn’t expect it be quite quite such an epic journey.

via Echofon

Funnily enough, aggressive beggar, if you called me a prick the last time when I said that I was sorry, but I didn’t have any change…

@says_arline But spending an hour on hold listening to Casio drums is hateful no matter whose fault it is.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to says_arline

@says_arline Yes. Which is all with my accountants, who hadn’t got back to me. This is mostly my own fault.

Presumably in case someone else fraudulently pays my corporation tax for me.

via Echofon

And there we go. They can’t give me the Corporation Tax Reference without me giving them my UTR, which I don’t have. For security.

Yes. Yes, they can. *cries*

Down to fourth in the phone queue at @HMRCgovuk. 52 minutes on hold. Wonder if they can break the hour?

via Echofon

Current status: down to eighth in the queue. And after only a mere 32 minutes.

@MResponsively Let’s remove them! And reimplement scrolling really awkwardly! And make it horizontal! That’ll be brilliant! <— Netflix :(

Dear HMRC: I know we’re in austere times, but could you really not afford a *melody* for your hold “music”? soundcloud.com/gothick_matt/q…

“Your call is important to us” My feeling here is that if it were *that* important I wouldn’t currently be 19th in a queue.

@bertpalmer Yur. But LR will auto-generate 1:1 preview on entering Develop module on an image, right? So pre-generating speeds up my flow.

via Echofon in reply to bertpalmer

@bertpalmer I think this is the article that made up my mind: mosaicarchive.com/2013/06/12/whe… <— is it over-simplifying?

via Echofon in reply to bertpalmer

@bertpalmer (I normally generate 1:1 previews while making tea before I sit down for a session.)

via Echofon in reply to bertpalmer

@bertpalmer Well, yeah, but I don’t think that gives you any benefit over having 1:1 previews, does it?

via Echofon in reply to bertpalmer

@bertpalmer (Or external storage, at least…)

via Echofon in reply to bertpalmer

@bertpalmer Is it? I read quite a lot about them and couldn’t really see the benefit over full-size previews if you didn’t have….

via Echofon in reply to bertpalmer

@bertpalmer I really must learn to read all the release notes.

Oh! I hadn’t noticed the Auto Upright Correction in Lightroom before. When did that arrive?
