Forgot about lovefilm! I remember being so excited at my uni halls one year when I regularly rented films and would get a little package and watch it on my laptop. How times have changed

Got me a reminder the day before YouTube Premium ends where I will cancel it. Google are gonna be so mad.

My free trial of Apple TV is running out soon, gonna cancel it but I guess I’ll have to pay when the next season of Ted Lasso comes out

Does 3 months of Mubi for £1 count? Done that again.

The best thing about it is they take a direct debit for 3 months (33p, 33p, 34p). Charmingly inoffensive.

“oh i’ll just do it when i’ve finished this”

This being my life

That’s fair. I’ve boldly set the reminder 1 day before the deadline. Starting to think I should set a different reminder for every hour of that day, to be certain.

It counts

When lovefilm shut they didn’t ask for anyone who currently had discs to return them, so I got Moonlight and something else on blu-ray forever out of it. So that’s maybe £15 back.

Used to rinse Amazon Prime by using the ‘alias’ thing on Hotmail where you just add a ‘+whatever’ in your email address and Amazon would think its a new email address. So I’d sign up for the trial, immediately cancel, then when the trial expired do it again with another alias of my email address.

I’m due in court next Tuesday.

Was right put out that NowTV don’t do free trials at all any more, used to have constant free trials a few years ago. Wanted to watch the Hogfather over Christmas but I tell you now I do NOT want to pay.

A friend was closing his lovelfilm account, which for some reason had to be done by calling customer services. ‘You’re moving to netflix aren’t you’ the rep solemnly said to him.

I worked in a bank call centre in what probably wasn’t the early days of Lovefilm, but definitely before most people I knew had heard of it. Quite a few times we’d have people calling up to cancel payments to them and we always thought this lovefilm dot com was some kind of adult site.

Cheeky bastards, are NowTV. I’m paying for it and I still have to watch an unskippable advert before the episode I’m watching starts.

And it’s not even the McDonalds one with the lady I had a crush on (neither in spite of nor indeed because of the fact that she had a well-stocked archive of sauce sachets) anymore
