@MxDEJ @robdinte The ultimate up-sell. “Now, how do you plan on getting your new wheelbarrow home? Might I recommend this identical wheelbarrow?”

@miclgael 1. Are you a robot? 2. If no, are you a terrible human?

When you get a CAPTCHA wrong, do you question your reality?

Product idea: an adjustable-height desk that logs your time standing vs sitting so you can clearly visualise how quickly it becomes clear you wasted your money.

Self-praising flour doesn’t knead your compliments.

But it would like them.

@larsklint @Microsoft Everyone knows passwords over 16 characters are the least secure passwords.

[panting] would be a less ambiguous subtitle, but also less funny.

@Postvox I won't be home to accept a package on the estimated date. Is there any way I can save you a failed delivery and just pick it up myself (or even get it redirected), or should I just wait for a "sorry we missed you" card?

[Ben Flanagan @bflngn]

@summerscope I don't see any way out of this, you're just going to have to sleep there.

Thanks to the courteous @eircare team for taking charge and finally resolving this issue for me! 🌈

[Ben Flanagan @bflngn]

Hi @eircare, I just got transferred between 8 different support staff (3 online then 5 on the phone), to try to find out why my bill pay order hasn't cut over. Then the call dropped out. Is there any chance they're going to call me back, or do I have to start again?

[Ben Flanagan @bflngn]

@eircare I'm actually trying to find out why my bill pay order hasn't finished processing, because I want to start using it. But based on this experience maybe cancellation is a better idea.

@simonraikallen Coffodkarocca: coffee, vodka and berocca.

Not recommended.

1. Wet hands
2. Add soap
3. Work soap into a lather, covering the front and back of your hands and fingers
4. Rinse soap off
5. While attempting to shake the remaining water off, hit your index finger against the tap -- hard -- on the nail bed
6. Repeat from step 1 forever

@daineeez still barely over AU$1 🥑

Ok I’m staying.

@andrewbarnett I do enjoy the Guinness signs though — at least the silly ones. I’ve only noticed them on pubs so far, but they are on basically every pub, and the are a lot of pubs.

Lessons from my first 2 days in Dublin:
1. Day is night and night is day. Jetlag sucks.
2. The seagulls are fucking huge here. I’m a little bit scared of them.
3. The (raw) bacon looks like and has the texture of (raw) salmon.
4. Dublin 20 degrees feels like Melbourne 30.

[Ben Flanagan @bflngn]

@MxDEJ Sure you don't want to fly over and help me clean out the liquor cabinet?

[Ben Flanagan @bflngn]

Hi Melbourne friends, don’t forget to come and buy me a drink or three tomorrow! https://t.co/mq1d3QiT4Y

[Ben Flanagan @bflngn]

I'm excited to announce I'm moving to Dublin at the end of the month, to join the team at Amazon, working on CloudWatch.

Melbourne folks, come share a beer before I go.
