  3. Mate, she aint gonna get rich on £1.50 a pop....[legging it bloody fast]
     
  4. Earn in your spare time

    7. Take part in market research

    Companies want to know what you think and they are willing to pay for it.
    Before a company launches a product, it will want to carry out market research. So you could get extra cash by talking about anything from a new washing-up liquid to car insurance.
    Market research can be carried out online or in person, often held in small groups. You can earn from £20 to £200 for just a few hours’ work.
    You can register your details at Peopleforresearch.co.uk, Researchopinions.co.uk and Rocketresearch.co.uk.

  5. She’s done face to face and group research before and I don’t have any problems with that.

    It was as soon as I heard it involved downloading an app that set me on edge.

  6. You could always offer a compromise, get a second hand smart phone with a pay as you go sim, tell the company you've changed your number and do nothing with it other than your app duties.
     
  7. or you could tell em to fuck right off.

  8. I made sure I bought Sonos without Alexis. I have my phone settings so nothing but Siri can listen (I use it for to do lists and stuff) but still FB advertiser stuff I’ve just talked about.

  9. No chance would I be downloading any app to my phone and I walk past anyone with a clip board

    I had my fingers burnt after signing a bit of paper with my name and postcode and my gas and electric were changed over before I had agreed to it
    Apparently all they need is your name postcode and signature

    I’m surprised ET I thought Mrs ET was how can I say more switched on or perhaps she knows more than we do

  11. I have turned everything off that can listen in, fuck that listening crap I just don’t like it. If you ask Alexa for a three way or a reach around she doesn’t get it either the frigid bitch

  12. I like to waste the clipboard sellers time and act real interested then 10 mins in I just nah see ya lol
     
  13. Let it go. You've said your piece. It sounds like she enjoys being helpful and it would suck for her if it turned into a problem. It's always nice to be right and if it turns out you were right, while that feels good, at the same time it's your problem too.
    Just a day ago my husband prefaced a conversation by saying "I don't really care but..." and after telling me why I should do what he was suggesting I told him he could stop not caring any minute. He said okay and stopped talking.

  16. Yes , it's a tricky situation regarding the better half .

    Here's the "doom and gloom " view .....

    The modern smart phone is one of the biggest security nightmares you could imagine , and it just gets worse if it has a sync to other equipment in your digital life , and is on the same network
    .... your computer , central heating , alarm system ?

    That's xmas come early to a hacker who gets access to any one of those devices .

    The phone is also a massive intrusion into personal privacy , and a very effective electronic tracker .
    Those spiffy ankle-tags , as sported by spotty little oiks who spend their
    " leisure " time twocking cars etc. ?
    ..... they really are very primitive tracking tools compared to what smart phones do , without users even noticing !

    Downloading an app is like opening a door and putting out a welcome mat .
    It could be completely harmless and innocent , but how is a person to know ?

    These days everyone and his dog has to have a " bling " smart phone , and it's given us a brand new crime wave ..... the 5 second street robbery ....
    .... usually by scooter !

    Ranting aside , here comes the good news ....
    A man could devote his entire lifetime to the pursuit of wisdom , and still not get close to answering that one .
    Even ten lifetimes probably wouldn't help , so on that point ,
    I can only offer you my sympathies sir :)
