    My mate had his Ibiza holiday cancelled at the last second, forcing him to find an alternative way of catching an STD. Fortunately he lives less than twenty miles from Southend.

    And this is why having few mega corporations handling everything on some far away server is a dumb idea.
  • @amt61
    Someone at Crowdstrike..."what's this button for?" 🤣

    My Nan has lost almost two hours of Gala Online Bingo. These people are pure evil. 😢😢

    Drove past a bank this morning and saw a line of people trying to get their money out! Keep calm and carry cash 😊
  • @Alan7997
    Despite this a wallet full of £5, £10 and £20 pound notes is still there during this outage. Don't get rid of cash exactly for this reason.

    Good thing is that i have zero money in my bank account...😂😂😂

    Luckily, the biggest IT outage the world has ever seen, "affecting major services including broadcasters across the world" has not affected one of the biggest broadcasters across the world...as here we are...watching the "meltdown"...on the internet...

    The world without constant tech would be beneficial, beautiful.
  • It's about bloody time they cancelled the internet! Nothing but trolls and idiots like me.
