| 13:10.24 | yaMatt | dick_turpin, read the one with your daughter phoning the doctor |
| 13:10.47 | yaMatt | mine is similar, but you can book an appointment for that day as long as you ring before 9am |
| 13:11.02 | yaMatt | otherwise you have to wait a minimum of 3 days |
| 13:11.53 | yaMatt | so between 8am when they open and 9am they get a whole load of phone calls and are near perminently engaged |
| 13:12.49 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: I remember the good old day when you turned up stuck your name on a pad and waited, sure you might be there a while but you got seen |
| 13:13.03 | dick_turpin | s/day/days |
| 13:13.22 | dick_turpin | Bugger its just not my day is it |
| 13:15.31 | yaMatt | my girlfriend's doctors is much better, you can phone and time and they'll book you in |
| 13:16.05 | dick_turpin | You musn't have many old people or dole scroungers down your way then |
| 13:16.07 | yaMatt | then when you get in to the doctor you're greated by a machine that asks your age, name, and address and registers you as 'in' |
| 13:16.45 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: Yeah my misses went to one of those sorts of places in Wolverhampton I thought it was really cool |
| 13:16.49 | yaMatt | no, not in Cockfosters, it's a bit posh :) |
| 13:17.22 | yaMatt | you really can 'shop around' for doctors |
| 13:17.25 | dick_turpin | They could book you in by fingerprint or retina scan |
| 13:18.01 | yaMatt | the problem with fingerprint and retina scans is that they only really work if you have something to compare it against though |
| 13:18.09 | dick_turpin | As she was a visitor/out patient she had to manually enter her details which was disappointing |
| 13:18.48 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: I think all the 'patients' register FP or Retina to the db |
| 13:19.34 | yaMatt | certain people can't use eye scanners or finger print readers though |
| 13:19.40 | yaMatt | so it's interesting they went for both |
| 13:20.11 | yaMatt | champion of irsi scanners, david blunket, would never be able to use one |
| 13:22.51 | dick_turpin | Meh thing is it does speed things up we saw an old lady walk in, go to the screen, scan her thumb and the sat down didn't even go to reception pretty impressive |
| 13:23.05 | dick_turpin | then sat down |
| 13:24.19 | yaMatt | yeah, anything to make the receptionists lives easier |
| 13:24.29 | yaMatt | they're usually pretty misirible people anyway |
| 13:27.11 | dick_turpin | Oh they still had receptionists, its a bit like the Modern line (Or is it Jubilee?) underground they don't need drivers as its fully automated yet nobody would get on if they saw the seat empty |
| 13:27.29 | wethrin | DLR doesn't have drivers |
| 13:27.33 | wethrin | except when it does |
| 13:33.49 | yaMatt | Victoria line particulary doesn't need drivers, but it does anyway |
| 13:34.24 | yaMatt | i think receptionists are particularly important in doctors offices, but if you can take the repetative tasks away it will make their and our lives easier |
| 13:35.36 | dick_turpin | When we all FINALLY get our ID cards all that sort of stuff will be on there anyway |
| 13:38.22 | yaMatt | heheh, many years from now if this current government gets its way |
| 13:41.44 | dick_turpin | You know I'd love it, one card for everything even money how smooth would that make things? OK I know theres the theft of your card issue but imagine you wouldn't need to have your own GP just go anywhere, swipe your card hey presto |
| 13:42.03 | dick_turpin | Or the dentist |
| 13:42.09 | dick_turpin | Or the airport |
| 13:42.27 | dick_turpin | Or when bilarh gets pulled over for speeding |
| 13:43.42 | yaMatt | yeah, definitely, and in-fact I could see it making fraud more preventable, if you only had one card you could tell if it got lost or stolen and replace it with a new one |
| 13:44.03 | yaMatt | although if there was a second card in existence you would have the same old problem |
| 13:47.15 | dick_turpin | I always tend to not think about that more the positive imagine going to buy a car and everything could be done via the one card buy it, insure it and tax it. If all the agency's was linked your history would be on the card |
| 13:48.33 | dick_turpin | So if like me you have um? 30+ years no claims there'd be no need to go on confused.com |
| 13:49.33 | Leeds | HK is pretty close to 2 cards - government ID and octopus (local oyster equiv) |
| 13:49.38 | yaMatt | heheh, captialism would never make it that easy |
| 13:50.00 | yaMatt | octopus is only for public transport though isn't it? |
| 13:50.21 | Leeds | public transport... parking... shopping... vending machines... |
| 13:50.39 | yaMatt | oh, ok, I didn't see any of that when I was last there |
| 13:50.41 | Leeds | it's used as an informal ID in some places as well - e.g. buildings use them as keycards for clubhouses |
| 13:51.08 | Leeds | about the only significant place you can't use them is taxis, and that's because the drivers like it that way |
| 13:51.54 | yaMatt | heh, would have been useful on more than one occasion |
| 13:52.36 | Leeds | perfectly possible to go for days on plastic - smaller things on octopus, bigger on credit/debit card |
| 13:56.34 | yaMatt | i thought they were trialling using the Oyster card on purchases |
| 13:56.46 | yaMatt | but PayWave seems to have superseeded it |

| 14:03.21 | yaMatt | dick_turpin, what are you doing on 5Live right now? http://yfrog.com/j5te8xj |
| 14:06.14 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: You know I always thought I make a good 3rd Mitchell I speak the lingo for a start and I was born and grew up where its factiously based |
| 14:08.06 | yaMatt | you could be the long lost brother |
| 14:08.19 | yaMatt | cast off to Wolverhampton until your return to seek revenge |
| 14:08.25 | yaMatt | on your more famous brothers |

| 14:10.15 | yaMatt | dick_turpin, my one's not good enough? |
| 14:11.43 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: I was inside for murders that I did for Phil and Grant and now I'm back for payback but it turns out they grassed me up in the first place as they are sacred shitless of me |
| 14:12.40 | yaMatt | you'll probably need more tatoos and scars |
| 14:12.44 | yaMatt | so you look harder |
| 14:13.51 | dick_turpin | I have HAT tattoo'd on my left hand as I'm missing my little finger |
| 14:18.15 | yaMatt | i think you should send in a little video of yourself to the eastenders people, they might be looking for just that role |
| 14:18.24 | yaMatt | make sure you share it on youtube too |
| 14:22.36 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: So you can take the piss? |
| 14:23.13 | yaMatt | nooo... |
| 14:23.15 | yaMatt | not at all |
| 14:23.40 | dick_turpin | Course you know what my name would have to be don't you? |
| 14:24.32 | dick_turpin | Reggie |
| 14:25.53 | yaMatt | why Reggie? |
| 14:26.46 | dick_turpin | Well they already had a character Big Ron so I'd have to be Reggie Mitchell after Reggie Cray of course |
| 14:28.37 | yaMatt | ah, of course |
| 14:28.45 | yaMatt | you watch it too much |
| 14:30.07 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: No the misses does unfortunately I'm at the other end of the room on my machine so can hear it :'( |
| 14:32.55 | yaMatt | i guess that's a good time to do some linux stuff |
| 14:33.18 | yaMatt | my gf and I watch the same TV, so I don't get much free time to do some hacking at home anymore |
| 14:35.21 | dick_turpin | TBH I *Watch* very little TV its just its on a fair bit |

| 14:36.36 | dick_turpin | My daughter Hannah and I had a sort of competition on Sunday every time she left the room I switched it off she'd walk back in and switch it on I think they feel TV just HAS to be on |
| 14:44.20 | yaMatt | heheh, tv can be atmospheric |
| 14:45.04 | antiphase | Having it on all the time is a good way of using a couple of hundred watts of electricity to warm your house |
| 14:46.12 | yaMatt | it's more efficient because it's two things at once |
| 14:46.21 | yaMatt | a source of entertainment and a heater |
| 14:54.00 | dick_turpin | Ahahaha Just had a customer on wanting to know what KB, MB and GB was but the funny bit was turns out a lad in the office has been taking the Orange sim out his company phone and using it in his iPhone of a night and at weekends, he thought nobody would notice! |
| 14:59.17 | yaMatt | are those two things connected?? |
| 15:01.30 | dick_turpin | Yeah he's had a bill for £200 for 83MB of data the lad sent two photo's of 234kb and 244kb so now he needs to sort out the remaining 82.5MB |
| 15:02.04 | Armand | O_O |
| 15:02.34 | Armand | the missus got stung on her bill.. for sending 2 photos. >_< |
| 15:03.07 | MacRohard | ouch |
| 15:04.34 | dick_turpin | He says they had a bill last month for £1300.00 I know nothing about mobiles and contracts I own a crappy Nokia 6300 on PAYG |
| 15:06.55 | Armand | 3109c, PAYG... I only have a phone to receive calls. |
| 15:07.14 | MacRohard | giffgaff has free data currently |
| 15:08.08 | MacRohard | has anyone used the aa.nu mobile thing yet? |
| 15:08.32 | MacRohard | it's not that cheap, but still looks like fun to play with |
| 15:10.02 | yaMatt | dick_turpin, the iphone does a lot of work in the background, is he sure he didn't download any apps or use voicemail? |
| 15:11.44 | dick_turpin | yaMatt: No no you misunderstand, the iphone belongs to the lad he took the sim out of the company phone (I have no idea of model) and stuck it in his iphone of a night/weekend to basically steal credit |
| 15:12.52 | yaMatt | yeah, and he doesn't understand how comes he used so much data? |
| 15:13.12 | dick_turpin | Correct |
| 15:13.56 | dick_turpin | The gaffer is guessing he has shoved it in his iphone he needs to gather evidence |
| 15:14.27 | yaMatt | ah, ok |
| 15:15.52 | dick_turpin | Actually we get a lot of stuff like this, staff needing to be snooped on etc |
| 15:16.14 | yaMatt | stop employing dodgy people |
| 15:17.18 | yaMatt | not sure how you can prove it though, except maybe get a list of sites he's visited or something |
| 15:20.03 | antiphase | Presumably the mobile operator would be able to tell you the IMEI of the device that registered the SIM |
| 15:22.12 | yaMatt | yeah, possibly |
