Ah, he's clearly a man who knows which hammer to use for which job. :-)

That's a considerable pain in the backside. Is this an RAC fix or a garage fix?

Holy fuck.

He clearly cannot be trusted with any drugs of any kind, or to be anywhere near women.

Perhaps his punishment could be no drugs ever again, be they recreational, lifesaving or just painkillers.

I would add "after a fair trial" but with that many claims, seems a bit.. foregone?

Hugs, and better than the mask of "I'm fine" to show to people who probably don't really care, and who would just feel inconvenienced by others having feelings.

You got this. 3 weeks is barely tme to find the kettle, let alone get the job squared away.

Ah, we will mostly be confined to the conference hotel and the selected dinner venue.

The occasional bit of free range exploration would be welcome.

It's normal for events. I am, after all, the idiot that went to Disneyland (hotel, for a conference) and never actually went to Disneyland.

Thanks. Sadly, experience says they'll be out until the wee hours tomorrow, so I'll be lucky to get a few hours sleep.

Behave is a very relative term here. All on their respective planes home on Friday will do me for now.

This evening was. The next few days will be mostly riding herd on people. Forecast uncertain.

Best of luck, and hoping you get a national lottery-grade package.

Meeting apparently cancelled by her? Good decision.

"Fluid dynamics"- fnar fnar.

Seems that cuts both ways.

Came *this* close to buying a cheese board set in Lakeland today. (Yes, how rock and roll am I?)

Always cheese.

Indeed. More licking for the rest of you.

I have some awesome hats, but I judge hats on their warm/shade, not on whether they make me look like I have hair.

It's not that bad, TBF...

People complaining that blokes wear hats in their dating profile to "cover up" that they're going bald, ick, how dare they etc etc.

If I'm going to be a Bond-level villain, I should get tax relief on minions and a shark-infested pool.

That should upset HMRC.

Having worked on projects to provide VPNs for around 3000 UK users this year alone, I look forward to being labelled a criminal mastermind.

This whole thing is extremely blinkered, to the point of being fuckwitted.

In accordance with their position on post-literacy, I shan't read the article, just watch the AI-generated 30 second video summary, which probably bears no relation to the article, and inserts ads for whichever slop machine owner. That's fine, right?
