Zooming in on this to try and see it better was, perhaps, foolhardy.

I think the people who make the omens are tired of being subtle.

Sorry to cancel our plans but my heights have wuthered

Just found a spot in the corridor outside my office where the floor under the carpet seems to be lower than it should.

There are potholes all over the road in Oxfordshire and now one of them has found where I work.

All we can do is believe that Words were had.

I think the perpetrator wasn't working that week.

At an anime con at Leicester SU some years ago, it emerged that the deputy manager had seen a tremendous order to stock the bar and cancelled it because it was outside term time and clearly had to be a mistake.

Seems like chat roulette is the perfect countermeasure to facial scan age verification. Have some complete stranger in a different country lift the gate for you, and pollute the broker's data in the process.

Roses are blue
And violets are red
Good catch! I was wrong
They are both actually purple

What idiot called it an electric piano and not a frankensteinway?

There's a post to like to reset all your existing pronoun labels.

"Cherenkov is the hammer. Whole world is nail."

See, I don't think I would take any guff about the smell of tuna while there were people drinking coffee at work.

"Dare you enter my magical realm?"

What is actually up with that whole "don't eat tuna in the office" thing? Is it one of those purely American conventions that make zero sense?

The introduction of the ribbon interface was a watershed moment that indicated that Microsoft had completely lost the plot with regards to usability.
