They only last 1.5 hours if you have it on high filtration. Nowhere near enough time to listen to one of my David Bowie box sets.

I laughed so much I nearly wet myself. I'm a terrible human being. 😞

That moment when you quote two options and the customer comes back with:
"Your quote is acceptable; please proceed."
Did you even read the quote? Which one do you want? ðŸĪĶ‍♂ïļ

Museums are full of other people's memories only the halls of your mind are filled with your own experiences.

Sharing other people's quotations is OK, I suppose. Coming up with your own at least shows you made some effort.

Don't be too sad when you put away your toys once you become a teenager. As you hit fifty-odd, sanity will return, and you'll start rebuying toys.

It never stopped for me, the toys just got more expensive.


Friday night, I fancied a beer. "I know; I have a bottle sitting in the cupboard." I poured out the "Old speckled dog bollock", or whatever it was called and then thought: "Hmm? It's been there a while?" Too right! "Best before Jan 2020!" I bet I bought it in 2018.

Saturday night: I'll have me a Margarita. "Best before Feb 2021"
Thank The Pond Gods my Bushmills is OK.

Nothing is out of reach; you just have to find the right way to get there.

It looks like we might have to adopt the Indian practice of burning our dead by the river?

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. 😟

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? #


And to think I was dead jealous of anyone that owned an HTC.


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?


One of the guys has just had his new Samsung S22 delivered and it's PINK!
"But it says Red!"
It's Pink :-D

Yep. Is it wrong to laugh when someone has made a mistake? Would that make me a bad person? 🙊 ðŸĪĢ

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?"

Do everything to the best of your ability; you may not get the recognition you deserve, but you'll know you did it well.

FFS! It sounds like a mule eating pellets out of a nose bag. What are you eating?

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.

On your way up, don't look down on others; they haven't had the breaks you had.

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.


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

Do you have any idea how much paperwork is involved if you knock someone down??? 😂

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!

The females at #CastleCannon have started watching Game of Thrones again from the beginning. I now have that damn theme tune in my head.
