We have a company wide Taskmaster game thing run by HR. If you've seen the TV show you can guess the sort of thing.

Yesterday there was a spot challenge to get a photo with / share a teams call with people from as many different decades as possible. Turns out we don't actually have that many colleagues in the sorta 35-45 age range, so I spent alot of yesterday on calls holding up this sign...

Also found out quite a lot of my coworkers are
younger than the iPod.

My not-so-little girl and her very proud parents. We went out to celebrate her A level results and I got quite squiffy by the end of the day.

Happy to report that she has both her mum's looks and brains. :thumbup:

Lucky you!

I'm really lucky that one of my best mates here is a Cornish girl who makes "Cornish" pasties in her shop down in the valley! Ok, she can't call them cornish pasties as they are made in France! BUT, I call them Cornish pasties :lol: :lol:

I wasn't that bothered about trying one as when I'm on the coast I'm normally eating seafood, but there was such a queue outside this place, we thought we ought to give them a try. That one was a standard size and with steak as opposed to mince and I certainly got the point of it being a cornish miners complete lunch. Very filling and makes me want to try making one.

There's a knack to making them, and the twist in the pastry! Let us know how you get on when you try :D :D

Ginsters, and anyone else using minced meat, or diced veg, make pies. Pasties need cut pieces of beef and chipped pieces of potato and swede.
