Oh, and also Oddbox, with their claim that odd looking fruit and veg can't be used (where do you think soup comes from?) while the guy in the ad is packing a box with the most perfect looking greens you've ever seen.

I worked in a place where we weren't unionised but a load of other people were, and the smile I smiled when I had to cross the line was 'I wish I could be out here with you instead of in there doing pointless KPIs'...

I have similar thoughts about that one with the sad music and the man who looks as though he's about to get a terminal diagnosis - but actually the Supervet has put a plastercast on his dog.

I never wanted to and I haven't. I'm fine with that, and anyone who thinks that I have failed in any imagined purpose or duty - or that I should have to justify my decision - can get in the sea. x

I've graduated so am not looking at so many PDFs at home now. (I am just using Chrome and am delighted to have got rid of a terrible program stuffed with horrible AI pop-ups, and saved myself from having to partition a drive at the same time.)

TL;DR: Adobe products are a curse for multiple reasons, and you should bin their stuff if you don't need to use it.

Needed to free up a bit of space, so decided to uninstall Acrobat Reader. The PC thought it took up a few MB, but now it's gone, all of a sudden I have an extra 25GB available! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I'm sure this isn't a surprise to you techy types, but I see that a lot of people online have been similarly surprised.

I guess you'd want to make sure the paper didn't get rubbed when the door slid - bat aside from that, I think it's just a case of deciding whether you only want to paper the panels, or tack hardboard over the top and do the full door?

Oh goodness. That looks like one of those microwaveable 'sunday dinners' that old people order from TV adverts.

Ciabatta not fuck with them, they don't knead to put up with naan of your shit. You butter believe they'll crumb right at you and you'll be toast, your loaf over. Do you want your mama putting flours on your grave? Crust me, that's just how they roll. Okay, challah at you later.

If you send any round, make sure they remember the garlic bread. x

Finding the gentleman in the outfit is not the issue (oh, lovely goths) - but I have accepted that I am hot for adorable nerds, and neurospicies are not always the best at doing unplanned admin on demand.

Woe.

I refer you to point one: I don't like admin.

Fiiiine. I'll accept that.

Has there ever been an episode when it actually was a monster?

Billboard ad for a carton of disgusting gloop you'll never be able to properly wash out and will stink up your recycling called 'Two Chicks Effortless Eggs'. Buy some actual eggs, you weirdos.

All over London yesterday. Since when was cracking an eggshell too much effort?

In every episode they run away from a monster that turns out to be a person in a costume, but never stop to think 'that's probably just another person in a costume'.

If you donโ€™t want to read Agatha Christie together by candlelight whilst sharing tea and scones in a humble cottage in the Scottish Highlands during a raging snowstorm, then please donโ€™t tell me youโ€™re โ€œopen to trying new things.โ€

Yet again lamenting that it is impossible to order garlic bread and a foot massage to my bedside from a scenic gentleman in a little rubber outfit without putting in a significant amount of prep/life admin first.

Going to have to GET UP and PUT ON CLOTHES like some sort of peasant. Ugh.
