0:00.0 | I realized that the final step that I almost forgot is I had to change out of my noisy pants |
0:04.7 | and into non-noisy pants. You can't record a podcast if you're in your noisy pants. |
0:10.8 | I'm not happy, Gray. Why? |
0:13.6 | Well, you're off Twitter at the moment, I believe. So this is the sort of thing you're being spared. |
0:19.2 | But what's happened is, oh, a few weeks ago now, I had something printed for me by a printing company, |
0:25.9 | some posters made. Okay. And yeah, it was a perfectly fine commercial transaction. |
0:33.1 | But I thought under this new regime or world of this GDPR or whatever the European law is, |
0:39.8 | where people can't keep all your details and start spamming you. Right. I would be safe from spam. |
0:45.9 | But this printing company has been spamming me relentlessly since in my email. I've |
0:53.8 | been getting a bit cheesed off by that. So in like a moment of peak as I want to do sometimes on social media, |

1:32.4 | letters, letters, physical letters was from my good friend's at Instant Print. And they were sending me |
1:39.4 | physical spam. And this is why I was straight afterwards. I couldn't believe it. So I rushed back up to |
1:44.8 | my tweet deck. Took a photo, took a photo of the envelope. And I wrote, as if on cue, the doorbell |
1:53.5 | rings and they're physically spamming me too. Very naughty, Instant Print UK, very naughty. |
2:00.9 | And then I guess temptation got the better of me. And I opened the letter that they sent. |
2:06.8 | Right. And what it was was it was kind of portrayed as like a greeting card. It's got a big |
