I go with the “wrong email address” replies when I can too, but for bigger orgs sending automated emails like Apple in this case that doesn’t work.

I’m wondering whether to look through all the attachments I’ve received over the years for a phone number and maybe try to call them but I’m not sure how that would go down.

You’ve misinterpreted the advice :) It’s not about being compelled to say yes all the time to make others happy, it’s about saying yes _more_ to make yourself happy.

As an example, a work friend of mine invited me to a house party once at their shared house, there were a lot of people going but I didn’t know any of them except her. My instinctive reaction was to say “thanks, but no thanks”, but I decided to take a gamble and say yes.

I ended up having a really good evening, and I met some really great people who I now consider to be friends of my own. All because I took a gamble and said yes to something I’d typically say no to.

“Say Yes more. The people without passion are the ones who always say no. But the happiest people are the ones who understand that good things occur when one allows them to.”

From the brilliant book “Yes Man”, by Danny Wallace.

Still a great shot stopper, but there are much better goalkeepers than him around now. Goalkeeping isn’t all about stopping shots, the top teams want to build from the back and a goalkeeper who can actually play football with their feet is paramount to that. Keepers like Allison and Ederson are miles ahead of DDG in that regard.

I would definitely recommend giving MI3 a go if you haven’t played that.

I played the first two games on my Amiga 500 many moons ago and they’ll always be special to me for igniting my love of the genre, but hearing the characters talking for the first time in 3 blew me away :)
