I am on to a winner today. I definitely know the wife is at the hairdresser's; therefore, for once, as a man, know to walk in the door and say: "Ooh, your hair looks nice." which means brownie points for me unless she hates her hair and then I'm deep in the doggy doo doo. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Here's a thought: I run four virtual desktops on my Ubuntu laptop that I bring to work. Is it possible to give each desktop its own background? #ubuntu

Always in the top four, I've finally found a home where I'm appreciated. #hive #Ecency

Dear Lazyweb
Why on earth would a mailshot from Mailchimp make a website fall over with SQL backend doing its nut and the CPU maxing out? the only connection is the "Subscribe" page, an API from Mailchimp to the site, a Transactional plugin on Mailchimp what on earth could it be requesting from the site?

That person you just said: "Good Morning." to may not have had anyone say anything to them in the last 24 hours or even longer. Two words that cost you nothing.

Bugger! I meant to put a "Read" receipt on an email I just sent. Now I'll be watching my inbox like a hawk and screaming inside: "Why haven't they replied?"

Is there some sort of by-law that says shops in retail parks cannot open until mid-morning on a Saturday!? If you don't want to push people online, I suggest retailers open at 9 am, oh, and Currys PC World; I recommend you get rid of the Brand Name assistants who can only help you with their brand.

And you. May The Pond Gods bring you what you truly deserve today.


That moment you enter a room and you mention out loud a task to be done and a member of staff leaps out their chair full of excuses why they can't do it and then the director overhears and tells them to do it to which they start f'ing and jeffing all over the place.



Currently logged on to irc.libera.chat but can't think of any channels I fancy entering for the minute.

Today, make someone who is serving you smile. They're probably on shitty wages and dealing with shitty, self-entitled customers.

I'm thinking of setting up an email address of DevNull@ymydomain.co.uk for all those sales calls with "Can I get an email address?" in them.

Hang on? I work in sales!

Amazing! The UK drags its feet over aid to #ukraine. Yet, when it realises the total fuck-up it makes over #ChelseaFC (And probably other Russian related associations), it can suddenly pull out all the stops to keep the football supporters quiet.๐Ÿค”

So you know how everyone was getting ready to panic over energy bills going up? And how the UK government is going to give everyone a loan to pay their gas bills? Well get ready for some eye-watering prices when this kicks in

So I got the Nokia N810 going again, had to buy a battery as the old one only held a charge for two minutes. Sadly, it's pointless as every website the browser complains "ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap" ๐Ÿ˜ž

Too late. It wasn't a raving success. very little meat on them and getting the meat off the bone just tore the meat to shreds. I'd eat it again but I wouldn't buy it again. That's ยฃ10.50 sitting there so a very expensive meal.
