Cynical and bewildered in equal measure

@Eleanorbirdy @VinaigretteGirl @CrimeGirI @guidedogs This occurred about 25 years ago on a Saturday evening at a busy police station in the middle of Plymouth, not sure if they chipped dogs back then, but clearly wasn’t thought about by anyone involved if they did

@VinaigretteGirl @CrimeGirI The topping for the solicitor was the DS’s Scooby Doo villain impression of Liam as he took him back to his cell “I’d have gotten away with it too, if it hadn’t been for that meddling dog!”

[Steve @stevenpbook]

@VinaigretteGirl @CrimeGirI At which point Liam was grabbed by the elbows by the DI and DS who had been interviewing him, and who were walking behind them on their own way out the station. Liam was promptly arrested and charged.

@rolandmcs Having worked for a lot of years with & in PMOs, the Architect would be the last person on a project who I’d look to scapegoat.

For a start, they’ll have a comprehensive list of everything they designed that wasn’t implemented. Less of a smoking gun, more of a smoking nuke.

@screwlabour But when I checked the website to get a refund, it turns out the train was cancelled after all. As were the next two after it. Then it was a rail replacement bus.

Also, don’t think the people going “haha the train ONLY costs £250 when you book in advance” quite get your point…

[Steve @stevenpbook]

@screwlabour Not just the prices, it’s if the train will even run. Booked a train to London to visit daughter #1 today.

Woke up to a train cancelled notification.

Then an email “heads up your journey is back on track” arrived when it was physically impossible to get to the station in time.

@almurray A four part docu-drama series starring Cilian Murphy or similar and there’ll be marching in the streets

@bobvintagebrick I still have 6074 in a box in the garage!

@NiklausFuller I use my accountant’s address as my business address. They have around a hundred of their clients do the same.

The only paper post the business gets is from the bank or the taxman, so it also saves me from having to forward it to them!

@petergyang First off get a sleep study done (with a proper monitor), also see an ENT doctor - turned out I had a deviated septum from sports injuries, which was a big factor in my breathing / snoring issues.

Also don’t be scared of CPAP, it has given me the best sleep I’ve had in years.

@ThermopylaeRIP @Simple_john1 Good old REDACTED?

@rawlimark Was a bit puzzled by the 20 minute opening with a massive spaceship appearing over an entire planet and the Captain/Admiral taking the time to visit the equivalent of the mayor of Chew Magna.

@sulemanali This is amazing to me: in the UK the normal sale commission is around 1%, is paid only to the agent acting for the seller, and when the house goes over a certain value, agents will normally negotiate down to around 0.5%.

Does commission in the USA cover legal fees?

@HBrubanter @MysteriosoX I’ve gone for a controversial Christmas Die Hard choice this year (then realised it’s been about 15 years since I last saw it!)
