I'm going to guess that a Mackem ended up with the job of drawing the picture. And they very nearly got away with it :D

We sent two big boxes of Yorkshire Tea to our Vancouver office, as it was a serious impediment to UK employees visiting and being expected to work there.

I'm interested to see how you've managed to weld plywood. I've only managed it with steel :D

I have been known to take my laptop and work from the car when the weather is hot. An advantage of electric vehicles is that you can sit with the aircon on for hours and it costs pence.

On of my colleagues lives in Clacton - and he isn't sure he's actually met anyone who voted for Farage. General opinion is that he's never visited the place since the election and doesn't respond to emails or letters either.

Sounds like a perfectly good excuse to have a cuppa and a nap.

I’ve had roasted peanuts, chicken and mushrooms on a pizza. And because it was in Reykjavík, of course it came with jam on the side too.

I don’t post there, but there are feeds I use for news and information that aren’t anywhere else yet, so I check it for those.

It’s very much like speaking to an 8 year old child, except the child will not admit it’s wrong no matter how much you tell it. 😃

Are you saying that the performance in the old University of York Goodricke Dining Hall that I did stage and prop stuff for wasn't professional? We had a smoke machine and _everything_! :D

That’s why I suggested a box. Something sturdy, maybe an old fridge? 😃

To be fair, for the last week you could probably have safely left your fridge contents in a box outside in the garden given the temperature.

UK Met Office forecast for Tromsø says fog.

We were there at the start of December a couple of years ago. Lovely clear skies, no wind, snow, rain. But yeah, the weather symbols cope with the fact there’s no sunrise/sunset nicely.

Totally unrelated, but I'm sure the grindstone in that GIF is going the wrong way. He's going to get sparks into his trouser turnups, which won't end well. All the ones I've seen direct the sparks away from the user.
