A friend just sent me this saying it showed up in his social media feed.

Home gym? Yeah… right.

Cracking idea, Gromit!

I’ll make sure to put plenty of factor 50 sun block on.

Can’t be too careful.

Reminds me of the scene in Alien where Ash, the synthetic, tries drinking Mindles milk out of the carton and has an accident.

Dear ‘Box, but you have fresh oat milk! I don’t think that curdles like the real stuff.

Am sure it’s safe.

They really are a shitshow.

But apparently the share holders are delighted with their bonus.

So they can’t be all bad, right?

Yeah, similar here. Waiting for gap between the heavy downpours so I can get on it.

Oh yes! My ex-wife bought me clothes that I hated, then got upset I didn’t like them and wouldn’t wear.

I recall the beige chinos, blue blazer with gold buttons, white shirt and brown loafers combo.

Wearing that would be worse than castration (well, not actually, but you get my drift).

Home - EDP Trust EDP Trust Educational Development Projects

My nomination is the EDP Trust (Education Development Projects).

The founders live locally and everything goes to the projects. We attended their last fund raiser two weekends ago, so I’ve met them and know how genuine they are. No £100k a year CEO etc.

Eeek! I went into this without thinking.

Let me noodle on it and get back to you!

(Guessing the ‘Bobbers Benevolent Society’ doesn’t count).
