My profile picture was done terribly, definitely not because itโs the best thing I could do in twenty minutes,but because I purposely did it terribly so everyone knows Iโm not Henry Paker. Iโm incredibly kind and thoughtful.
Guess who's colleague went to Hawaii and brought back chocolate covered macadamia nuts? And actually has another colleague there right now? (But will we get more chocolate covered macadamia nuts at work?!) ๐
I was on a plane on Friday and the woman beside me watched Avatar 2 (and gasped at one point!) *and* a submarine movie, and it felt like she was a Bean plant. And this morning I had breakfast at the Beanery. And I'm traveling to Exeter right now. Subliminal Beans are strong here!
Ancient evidence of a sore loser at board-games?! ๐
About 1,000 years ago, this tables game was smashed to pieces with an axe and thrown into Gloucester Castleโs rubbish pit!๐ฒ
Excavated in 1983, itโs the worldโs oldest surviving complete tables set.

I was out with one of my best friends last night and she was discussing preferring ornaments that are realistic, as opposed to more cartoonish ones, like this crab. I said, "crabs are expressionless", and she replied, "well, especially to us humans" and it killed me. ๐๐ฆ๐
I tried Branston Pickle ice cream! Even as a hardened pickle fan couldn't face a full scoop but did have a taster (the server called me "brave"). It's cheesy, it's tangy, it's not bad at all. I'm not sure if trying this combo will result in permanent damage. @beansaladpod
Someone on the Facebook group talked about how 3BS are the opposite of t*xic m*sculinity, and I commented that that's one of the reasons I love the podcast so much - to me, it's a wonderful example of what I call "warm masculinity".
I had meant to do a celebratory tweet when 3BS hit 10,000 followers, but life got in the way. They're at over 11,000! When I started following it was, I think, 200 some. And they're doing many more live shows than before! I'm so happy to see them succeeding. ๐ฅณโค
Your regular reminder that British public information films were like brutal horror films condensed into 30 second chunks, and shown during primetime (and children's) TV shows.
