Microsoft has changed the icons for Word and Excel and it is very disconcerting.

Indeed, their use of broken English was an almost identical match for the MiL's use of English as an optimistic guideline at best. 10/10 for effort lads.

Tbf, they absolutely nailed their approach. Anyone who has ever communicated via text or email with my MiL would have believed this email header was from her.

On the one hand, I'm annoyed that it took the best part of three hours to be allowed to download an app to my work laptop. On the other, I have then spent an hour conversing with would be phishers who had got into my Mother-in-Laws email. (I knew, she knew. I was merely wasting their time.)

Normally the biggest issue with my name is people calling me Bruce, so this was a new one.

Just catching up on @vaseemkhanuk.bsky.social talking about Quantum of Menace on the @ukcrimebookclub.bsky.social If you're not signed up to the group, it's well worth doing so.

It’s wild that the QB with the best TD/INT ratio with double digit TDs in the league, is the one that no one in the media is putting in the MVP race. #JalenHurts

If there was ever a question over Alan Carr’s national treasure status, Traitors must have answered it. In an excellent show, he is stealing every scene. #Traitors

Wife: “Which way to the castle?”
Me: “We can go left or right. I don’t suppose it matters. Let’s go left.”

In Wales, visiting the spot where it all went pear shaped for Richard Nixon.

An old slate grey stone wall with a sign attached that reads Water Gate. Beneath there’s another red sign with a man slipping drawn on it.

Cracking sporting weekend.

Boro win in the Vase. United beat the scousers. Eagles win. A great day out at the NFL and I got to watch Peterhead win on BBC Alba.

Pure fuel for the soul.

Stop.
Doubting.

I dunno mate? Not like a dead woman who accused him of sexual assault has her memoirs out Monday.

Screen grab of news alert that reads “BBC News

Can we normalise not having people at the very top of publishing dispensing their wisdom on what you do or do not need to do when you're at the other end of the ladder. A lot of people who have walked totally different paths are giving out some horrendous advice and it's maddening. #IndieAuthor

The Cotswold Cowboy look already feels like it’s taking the piss out of the wearer with the name.

Swear I keep slipping between the cracks man. Just can't ever fall into a 'verse where I'm rich.

RIP Tony Caunter aka Roy Evans, although I have to admit to having a little bit of a Mandela Effect moment, because I could have sworn Pam St Clement was already dead.

EastEnders' Pam St Clement pays tribute to Tony Caunter

The star who played Pat Butcher says the actor who was her on-screen husband Roy was a "lovely man".

What are the odds on two games ending 7-6, after the team that ultimately won, were 5-1 down? Mad to happen in a season never mind same night. Kudos to Frickley & Guernsey for the fightbacks.

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of. (Most adults as well I'd wager.)
