also Curry’s is sooo expensive. The markup is insane. I asked for the price on an HDMI cable and it was like 30 quid. You can get a decent one online for a fifth of that. When I said β€œno thank you”, they offered me a 5 pound discount. ie you can actually haggle at Curry’s (but still overpay)

This organisation is also putting all team meetings into my calendar that you can’t delete. They stay there even if you decline. Corporates suck so bad.

a very old and dirty laptop keyboard

working on a freelance project where the client demands top security so I’m not allowed to use my own computer. The agency just sent me this ffs. It looks like straight out of 1999, it’s dirty, it’s cracked in three places and it has one of those little red clits

to think that my last amazon purchase probably helped finance the Melania film is enough to never use them again

The doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Google the golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion. That should pick you up."
The man bursts into tears. He says, "But doctor... I am Fibonacci."

If I were the Beckham's family therapist, I'd lock them all in a room together and tell them "None of you is leaving until all of you have farted."
