Yup. They like things totally standard.

They searched the Internet and found pics with and without the strap.

Nice lads really and very polite.

Cussing myself !!!

Treated myself to a frozen pizza so came home and turned on the oven to heat up and have it as a late lunch

Only I forgot that I'd left the roasting pan in from doing some roasties last week

I now have an apartment full of smoke and all the windows open but nothing seems to be moving much :( :(


How do you get smoke out of a small square apartment with no outside door :( :(

Got up, shower shave etc, suited and booted and about to head to my niece’s wedding. It’ll be strange as there’s 2 brides and no groom.
I’m getting too old for this modern age😀

Well that didn't age well.
I was totally over it and happy not vaping in all situations, work, shopping, walking around, driving, everything, well except for doing nothing, just sitting around on holiday or after going out for a ride, and then I found myself vaping on holiday :angry-cussingblack: and because what you can buy over the counter is a million miles stronger than what I used to make I'm back a square one.

So back on the vaping game with a view to cut down and quit it by the end of the year, FFS 2025 can do one.

More CyberSec training, at Tower Bridge this time. Shame about the lack of HVAC in the room though!

Take the positives. You quit for a fair while so you know you can. :thumbup:

Struggling to think / find a print or painting that I'd like to hang on my study wall to replace what's currently there, after 5 years a manager has complained that a skull might be be appropriate to have in the background when on Teams calls.

I very much doubt titties would go down very well, no matter how artistic, otherwise it'd be an old downshirt shot of Charlie Dimmock or Tiffany's playboy shoot

A large calendar where you highlight a particular date/activity each time like...

23rd NEW JOB INTERVIEW

Next call..

13th PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENT

Next call...

7th STD CLINIC APPOINTMENT

etc

Or a countdown clock with 'days to retirement' on.

Just, well 40 mins ago, had a senior moment.

At the strike of 5pm, both dogs were sat waiting to head out for their evening walk / run around the park, so I gathered up treats, poo bags and car keys then headed to the garage which had a huge empty space where my car should have been.

Some dozey twat had parked it around the front of the house because a neighbour was having a Wren kitchen delivered when he got back from the morning walkies….

My Labrador was none too pleased at having to exit the garage and come back through the house to get to the car :D

I've got a steampunk mechanic. She gets a lot of comments/compliments. This one, by Michael Dashow:

And Escher's Reptiles on the other side, which I thought was office appropriate:
