Adam & Joe talking on C4s "Blair Witch Project Phenomenon: behind the scenes with Mark Kermode (1999)".

I watched a YouTube deep dive on The Blair Witch Project today that unironically included this clip of Joe saying "I'm a pretty hard guy, pretty macho..." to reference how terrifying real movie-goers found the film, and it made me giggle enough to dig out the full TV show linked here. It starts from the AJ bit in the last five minutes.

My data went to TrustPilot via InPost via AliExpress

*AliExpress - My contracted retailer.
*InPost - Courier contracted by AliExpress was given my data by AliExpress (name, address, email, phone number) for the purpose of delivering my order.
*TrustPilot - Given my data by the courier to solicit positive reviews for the delivery they did on behalf of AliExpress. TrustPilot has apparently set up a profile using my email address without my permission.

-My data has been legitimately passed to InPost (which is reasonable) for the purpose of delivering my parcel. InPost privacy policy states they hold these details (related to the specific delivery) for SIX years after delivery - duration is a bit excessive, but perhaps this is an industry compliance thing for disputes or complaint purposes. They do not say why.

InPost are a shitty delivery company. First off, the links in the email for "manage delivery" and "view 2 hour delivery slot" go to an "install app" page. https://postimg.cc/w1j3Fq1bThere is no way to view the delivery date/time/updates until/unless you install the app (I didn't install it, I was prepared to sacrifice the delivery and get a refund if anything went wrong).

InPost have now passed my data to a third party for the purpose of soliciting positive reviews. https://postimg.cc/Fd86RgqY

Q:

*Is this compliant?
*Who is the controller/processor and what is the justification for processor passing my data to another third party?
*Can I do something to get my details deleted by both InPost and TrustPilot (I do not trust or consent to either after they passed my data for their own benefit and TrustPilot has been spamming me for reviews since they got my details).

Thanks.

Watchdog accused of ‘giving away’ billions of litres of s...

Coca-Cola is paying the Environment Agency (EA), England’s primary environmental regulator, just £6,070 in annual charges for a licence to extract up to 674m litres (almost 150m gallons) of water for its production line at Morpeth. It extracted about 125m litres last year.

It means Coca-Cola is paying 0.005p for each litre of spring water it extracts, which works out at 5p for every 1 cubic metre (1,000 litres) of water, or a metric tonne. The retail cost of a 600ml bottle of Glacéau Smartwater is about £1.60.

Nothing 4a - NFC not working

I bought the Nothing 4a a few days after the price went up. It's alright. For £400, this was a great phone. For £450, it's alright. The NFC sensor is in an unusual spot compared to the 2a so putting this picture here to help anyone else struggling with the same thing that I was. Other initial impressions: the battery is pretty poor compared to the 2a. The colour is great. The case doesn't really protect the camera - I think the lip of the case is 1micron taller than the camera glass. Am I an idiot? Did you scan NFC successfully first time? If this image helped you, please let me know ;)

Daisy Cooper, Lib Dem MP wins today's PMQs with the punchline before asking the Deputy PM to "either delay Farage's resignation until after the investigation, or allow the investigation to continue in his absence"

I cut Lammy's response because he ignores the question / refuses to do either.

Laila Cunningham thinks the people of London and Clacton are stupid enough to believe these outrageous and obvious lies

Reform’s Laila Cunningham - who is running as the party’s candidate for Mayor of London - had a hard time explaining how Farage was ‘not politically active’ whilst also being Reform’s party chairman at the time, as his donations scandal rumbles on.

Ooof. The Plus offers are just a cushion for 33% price increases. This one feels personal.

TIL that Farage is barred from his local pub after crashing his car and fleeing the scene "Man of the people my arse"

From the 2019 Mirror article:

"Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage has been BANNED from his local pub after allegedly making a swift exit when he was involved in a head-on crash with the landlord.

Patrick Tranter, 38, was driving home with his one-year-old son when his Jaguar was hit by Farage's Range Rover, he claims.

But instead of checking on Patrick and his son, the Eurosceptic MEP is said to have fled the scene.

Patrick and his shaken baby son George were taken to hospital in an ambulance, and he claims his car has been written off.

Speaking from hospital, Patrick said police who attended the crash were forced to launch a "manhunt" for the MEP who was on his way to appear on Question Time"
