'I based horror video game on working in a Scottish chippy' Developer James Muirhead said his old job provided the perfect setting for his latest creation.

This game sounds amazing - you have to fulfill customer orders in a chippie while there's a monster growing in the basement

Newbury: 24 illegal spill days; 8,900+ hours of sewage in 2024. Our precious chalk streams are being treated as open sewers by Thames Water.

Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, β€œdon’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all”

Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since

β€œDo you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

Every time I talk about the issues and problems surrounding LLM (or Vibe-coded) ***product*** development, I get a bunch of off-topic comments (which the writers seem to think are refutations) along the lines of "but I built this useful small thing for myself."

Flakes of otherwise finished croissants decorate empty, red plates on this cafΓ© table. Jazz plays. A woman at the counter cannot decide what type of milk she wants in her coffee. She jokes that her brain needs the coffee so badly she can’t decide.

With so much going on in the world it's sad the BBC flagship political programme (yeah, right) is a breathless interview with a washed up and disgraced Prime Minister trying to resurrect his career.

Woman in a field behind my town hall as her dog runs towards an enormous muddy puddle: Desmond, not the mud! Not the mud, Desmond! Desmond, no! Not the mud! Desmond! Not the mud! (sighs) Oh Desmond.

KFC, Nando's, and others ditch chicken welfare pledge as demand soars Wingstop, Burger King, and others have walked away from an industry commitment to avoid using fast-growing chickens

KFC, Nando's, Burger King and others ditch chicken welfare pledge.

It is about profits.

They prefer "franken-chickens" which mature quicker but have higher rates of premature death and muscle disease.

What are people eating?

Customers not told anything about chicken welfare.

If you don't know how all this works now here is a perfect example....

Yesterday: Reform were asked about minimum wage and the outcome was that they will reduce it - worrying people and getting some negative press.

Today: an unsourced, anonymously briefed, speculative story is 'revealled'...
