You took the cash out first, right?

It was more of a card holder than a wallet sadly. Photographed all his cards though obviously.

[Crimson]

He just called me having got my email and he’s on his way to pick it up. Nice happy ending for those of you on tenterhooks!

I'd given it back without any reward, but each to their own..

It was the least he could do.

Got a bottle of wine for my troubles.

[red_Mark1980]

Just out for a run and a guy came past on his bike. As he did his wallet fell to the floor. By the time I’d shouted to him he was away in the distance.

I’ve got his name from his bank cards. Quick google and he’s on LinkedIn but can’t find him elsewhere. Have sent him a connection request but he won’t have a clue who I am. Any other ideas how I can get his wallet back to him?

Truly one of the good guys. Contrast that with me dropping my wallet literally outside my front door (I'd got out of the girlfriends car and it's apparent someone close by picked it up), had a picture of me as well as ID with the address on it

What does some Brummy rat do? Go on a spending spree at local shops before I start getting the alerts from HSBC to let me know I've just dropped £50 in the Asda despite me being sat in ours.

You know Nick would have done the same had the answers to his question been a little bit different here...!

This is exactly why the £100 contactless limit is beyond stupid. I have one credit card and one debit card on me, they get lost and £1600 could be spent before you know it.

I'm sure RAWK used to have a thread for would-be writers/authors. Can anyone help me find it? My patchy memory tells me it wasn't on the media & arts board, but in the boozer. I can find it either way.

Yes, thank you. And my own post was the last made. I did check through my post history and still couldn't find it. I'll excuse it all on searching at the crack of dawn 

[SamLad]

is there a travel thread on RAWK?

I'm trying to find anyone with experience going to Thailand in the last little while, using the Thailand Travel Pass process.

Can anyone explain, in plain English not tech speak, how to post pics off my phone please?

I don't have a cloud thing or other such storage app, just my gallery but whenever I try posting anything it says the files too big and I don't know how to resize them.

Also, is their a mobile app version of the forum rather than using whatever it is I use 🤷 if there is presumably it's in my play store?

[NarutoReds]

Not from UK. What does it mean when a British OR Scouser say - 'un - ?

I read somewhere in this forum... Something like "wrong'un".

Is it British or Scouse slang?

p/s: I just knew that "webs" means "shoes" in Scouse.

Thank you. Thank you... My beloved Red Scousers.

'Un' means 'one' 
'One' means 'person'
So if someone is a Good'un it means that they're a 'good person'

I've got a mate from Lancashire who describes people of dubious morals as a rum un.
If they've got really dubious morals they become a reet rum un

I've always thought of myself as 'sound'

The only known use of 'reet' in a song is in Brass in pocket by the Pretenders ( afaik ).

We used to have a Branch in Chorley and the manager was a proper out in the sticks Lancashire man - he used to chunner away in this dialect I struggled to catch and every now and again you could clearly hear "reet cocker"

He was too short to be seen on the video, he just wrote the rap

when you see "X is trending on Twitter" just how is that measured?

how many retweets (or whatever TF it is) are needed to be regarded as "trending"?

how many things can be trending at any given time?

who decides this shit?

Well it seems that 'reet' is in more songs than I realised

Algorithms.  No one really knows and they change often but will have a lot to do with the number talking about the topic be it mention, likes, RTs, etc.
