@neillyneil I'm currently doing some work with the digital agency Caution Your Blast and they have a meeting room/breakout room that I'm sure they could loan to you for a day. Just south of Old Street.
@EmRoseBaz I second hating swimming hats!! Just horrible. I don't know about chlorine specifically (I just slather on pantene after swimming) but Body Shop hair masks are my ~fortnightly/monthly joy. Very reasonable, very lovely (if you decide to go down that route)
@neillyneil I hope you've made @richardosman aware of this (tagging him like he's a friend I know π). Bin collection and biscuits seem to be top of his local interest topics, especially as we head into the festive bin shenanigan season
(excellent work by the team on this service π)
Working days since I read this = 3
Working days that I've quoted this = 3
I was lucky enough to experience the impact of @gilest & team's approach to #agilecomms in GDS and I'm really excited to have a handbook to help me try to recreate a smidgen of that. Excellent book. πππ
I'm hiring for a senior agile delivery manager to join my team at Zoopla and set the product & tech teams up for success so we can reimagine an industry. If you are a delivery person who is interested in the role - please get in touch

@wknoxwalker Fear not - free pencils were not a perk in my polling station, so they won't be getting too rich. With no free pencil, I'm now sad that I didn't take the opportunity to vote with an obnoxiously coloured sharpie
@tommypalm _emerges from lurking on Twitter_ Always happy to have a chat with some https://t.co/m5sgZ5Kcf3 faces from a past life π We are recruiting...π
@EloiseMKS @EmRoseBaz π The book 'Super Better' starts off with a lot of insight about the role games can play with mental wellness, and has an approach to gamify increasing personal resilience. It's definitely worth a read if you're interested in the area.
@sillypunk@dsingleton changed my cats' lives when he recommended 'da bird'. You'll need to shorten the string, but they love it. (We've replaced it a few times) Still a fav years later.
@sjacksjacksjack I've heard back and it isn't being maintained at the moment. Zoopla are looking at ownership/maintenance of all their services, so that might change in the future.
@sjacksjacksjack π hey - good to hear from you. I'm on a "staycation" this week, so trying not to peek at work. But have sent a link to your message. If you don't have an answer by next week, lemme know and I'll try to find out π΅οΈ
@worddoodles_EP Combating the isolation of remote working has been on my mind and I've been thinking about virtual lunch clubs etc. Have you come across any good source material for other ideas?
