All my friends who work in finance in any form had this as soon as the restrictions were lifted. None of the bosses trusted them to do the work at home. Two managed to get WFH one day a week, but when changing jobs, could only get FT in the office options.

I feel sullied. I just opened post addressed to me & my husband and it's RacismUK, sorry ReformUK, trying to get us to vote for their mayoral candidate. 🤮

I watched the Rob & Romesh episode on it and decided I probably wouldn't be good at it.

Because it's you, I read the alt text. That was disappointing.

That's the cause?! Is it like a balcony thing?

Mine's something to do with a roof tile vent as it's steadily been dripping through a plastic pipe that leads into the loft. I can't easily access the roof, so I've installed a bucket.

Thirded with a similar ceiling crack.

I wonder if people would walk out or stay.

Cheated and used an image search - it's from a sitcom called Single Parents.

You'll find them when the fruit flies start appearing.

At least he's not around to pester them most of the time (12 hour working days x 6 plus 1 day of lifting and running).

I used to use it for the smell. Then switched to the homemade 'vinegar + cheap hair conditioner in water' version (wrong punctuation but it's too early in the day to think). It ruins towels, fluffy materials (like the inside of joggers) and any water-resistant clothing, so only goes in once a month.

I don't get how that's a 'current vibe'. He should just mention the servants.

Not quite your problem, but my son has a lot of group WhatsApp calls still come through when he's turned on do not disturb mode. I don't think the individual calls do though.

Last year, I had one call me back to tell me I was rude when I told them I wasn't interested and hung up on them.

But also, no sympathy for 'I have more important things to remember than clogging up my memory with unnecessary information.' You want TV, a few new icons are a necessary & important thing to learn. You're 80 & presumably retired, so what's more important? Should have just said she didn't want to.

Signed, but it didn't ask me to add a comment, so my amazing insight & suggestion that there needs to be a focus on reaching 100% broadband coverage, provided for free for older, lower-income & rural households, before it's switched off will never see the light of day.

It's a tough choice but I think the burger and chips one wins for me. Obviously you need to make the tiger one for your niece as soon as she's old enough to appreciate it.

Screenshot saying I can't remove a section, I have to delete it.

Gotta love the self-assessment system. I'm not trying to remove anything, so I don't know what it wants me to delete, but I can't progress until I beat this level. (I wonder if it's because it's randomly added an employer I've not had since 2013 and I changed the number of employments to 1.)

I'd be sat at the round table saying 'have you SEEN previous series?', I'm just gonna make random guesses based on tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, traitor until there's 6 people left, then I'd use my brain. But the producers don't want that.

Loved those, that's the set that got me into him as an author. I love alternative history stories but this is peak, it's so well done. Not many books measure up to it.

Oh yeah, still no delivery or update on this order. More than a month later.

I recommend an app called MyTherapy (on Android) - you input all the meds and it reminds you via notifications. You can set start/end dates as well for the paused ones.

For the last 2 days I've been fed a film ad multiple times & I keep thinking the main actor is a 90s UK comedy actor, but I can't remember his surname. I've been down a Wikipedia rabbit hole to try to find it and discovered that Russ Abbot is still alive. Surprising info that needed to be shared.

You're lucky! I've missed the deadline twice because of it. And all the 'do you want this special offer?', 'did you forget this?' screens.

Then it asks you to approve the payment in the banking app & you miss the deadline.

I tried to watch Bookish on Now and it has no subtitles at all! In this day and age! I was shooketh.

Next you'll be saying the album version of Brimful Of Asha is better than his.
