Just đ—ĸ𝗡𝗖𝗘! it would be nice if someone on @Linkedin wanted to follow me to build a relationship rather than:

I'll tell you what's funny about working in the IT industry, especially on the sales side of things. I spend my time raving about data throughput speeds, time-saving functions, faster communication capabilities and immediate scalability improvements and then when it comes to implementation, it's all "Ah, well, umm? we're looking at X days/Months......"

The thing about deadlines is it gives you an exact timeframe of when something finishes and a whole new adventure starts!

Watched 𝗟đ—ļ𝘃đ—ļđ—ģ𝗴 đ—Ēđ—ļ𝘁đ—ĩđ—ŧ𝘂𝘁 đ—Ē𝗮𝘁𝗲đ—ŋ on Netflix this morning. Thank the Pond Gods I don't have to scrabble down the hill to beg for water from the residents below!

This documentary focuses on the many residents of Lima, Peru, who are forced to pay up to a week's salary for just one day's water.


I am currently playing Whack-A-Mole with suppliers as they make every excuse to get out of actually looking for the items requested and instead are hoping I do the leg work for them.


It's starting to get to the point where it will only become interesting if the press releases a picture of a party that DOSEN'T have Boris in it. #



They're putting bunting up down the local High Street. What is this, 1977?

That person desperate to be liked by everyone, determined to do the right thing, and always backing the latest cause is usually hiding something.
Probably stroking puppies in the wrong direction!

HBS 3 keeps telling me there are sync errors, yet I cannot find these "Thumbs" it's complaining about?


I still can't get my head around paying to have a wooden floor fitted and then searching for a rug to go over the top of it? 😱 đŸ¤Ļ‍♂ī¸


Hands up all those who would have thought 0 was the correct entry for turning something off, not leaving the entry blank? 😱


OK, so I've been playing down these price rises, brushing them off with comments like: "There's no use moaning; you've got to have it, so you've got to pay for it." This lunchtime, it hit me personally! A pound, A POUND! I can't believe they've stuck a pound on the larger I've taken a shine to!




A customer has asked me to arrange for a redirect on a domain they own. The site it redirects to is very nice, although, for some strange reason, they asked us to point to /en? The site has one of those "Choose your language features", so I said: "Huh! Given everyone is falling over themselves to be seen to support Ukraine, I would have thought the default would be UA?" Select UA, and the language is English! Bwahahaha đŸ¤Ŗ


Well, that's fooked it! No more Blade Runner then? It won't be the same without Vangelis writing the music for it. :-(

"The cable does not suit my laptop."
Aye? Is it the wrong colour? Is it last season's cable? Is it too thin? Is it too fat? Is it too straight? Is it too curly? How does it not suit your laptop?

I really don't know why I pay for @amazon Prime? I ordered two items earlier that clearly said "Delivery by 7pm today" on BOTH items, which is perfect for what I want them for, and yet I've had an email saying they'll be here tomorrow! 😡

If you need to ask repeatedly, you are not stupid; it's not being explained to you very well, that's all.

I've just eaten the most insanely sized corned beef salad torpedo sandwich. Even I'm surprised I ate it all! Never mind "Foot Long" I think this was a European Metre long!

Wallowing in self-pity and complaining about your situation and the struggles everyone faces is like scratching an itchy part of your body. It becomes pretty pleasurable right up to the point that you start bleeding. Finding a solution to the problem is a better use of your time rather than making a bad situation worse.

Is it sunny in Espaniol?
in reply to Shredni Vashtar

I was asking if it's sunny in Spain. It's always sunny in Italy! Afer all, it's ITALY!


I've been watching @Nanoytgaming on Youtube playing various war games. He does make me laugh with his deadpan cynical comments. "Oh, you're dead; sorry about that."


Dear @ebay, what does "no healthy upstream" mean? I can't see my messages.



I have just eaten Watermelon, cucumber, feta and olives and it was bloody marvellous.


Wondering how many have sloped off back to Twitter, seeing as the sky clearly hasn't fallen in, and Donald Trump isn't back.

Setting yourself goals is good; others, such as your employers, setting goals can also be enlightening. Setting unrealistic goals is not only pointless; it's cruel. Achievable targets equal the desire to take on even more challenges.

I don't know where the Daily Mail gets its leads from, but I just checked eBay, and there are loads on there for between ÂŖ30 and ÂŖ60. Pity, as I was going to rush home and dig out my Gen II 30GB.

For some of us, it's raining, but even that has its benefits. More umbrellas and coats will be sold, and everywhere is getting a wash.

good morning c[~] , sometimes your optimism scares me a little bit. :-)

You're doing really well, and we're impressed with how focused you are. You've never failed; it has simply been an opportunity to learn how to do it correctly.

You know you're getting old when all the celebrities including, Film, TV, Radio and music that you grew up with, matured along to. Comforted you in times of need, made you laugh and cry and even helped you create your own family start kicking the bucket.


I have gone insane and bought my lunch from Marks & Spencer today.
