I am at a loss for words reading this post, that sounds genuinely horrifying.

Why do you want your bacon butty to taste of cinnamon??

No, I swear it works - it's like having maple glazed bacon or whatever breakfast products with maple syrup over them. The saltiness of the bacon and the sweetness of the hot cross bun go really well together imo. I mean it's not as good as a morning roll and brown sauce with your bacon, but I still like it.

Maple and cinnamon goes on bacon in the same way that honey goes on meat/meat flavour pizza. Neither sound like they should at all but they do.

Interested to hear what kind of anti royal family racists they are.

Like you do get some real racist nazbol republicans, but there's far more racist royalists/unionists in the UK. Or are they racist against the white ham colored English (the last acceptable bigotry)? Or racist against unelected Prussian nonces?

You would be welcome. Like I say, I met up with some folks from here just before Covid hit with the aim of starting a D&D game, Twisto for one, and Camrath. You can check with them and make sure I'm not scary ;)

Can confirm, no one got murdered and only slight injuries and psychic damage were reported.

Feedmegin is nice, about the least scary person I can think of and resembles nothing so much as a background character in the Shire.

I really find these "oh how are people working from home" takes bizzare.

Sure the landlords are going to throw a fit and the tories don't have jobs so they can't imagine it, but surely journos should be able to comprehend the notion of writing words in a place that is not an office?

My entire job involves hundreds of people working entirely separately from each other managed using technology, even if most of us are on site, there is not some magical property that precludes work from taking place in other manners using similar organizational techniques.

Two fence panels down. One I know belongs to next door (same panel blew down last year) and the other? That neighbour and I aren't sure yet (they did say they think its theirs but I suggested they go back indoors and we figure that one out when the windy patch is over). A few roof tiles blown off on buildings elsewhere on the estate. Wheelie bins that have been left outside have smacked into a few cars. A friend's little doggo nearly got blown away when going for a poo in the garden (she's fine). Finally and most tragically, another neighbour used to have two little Spitfire plane weathervane thingies bolted either side of his front door... they appear to be free now.

Some people just do not loving get that many people are not energised by banter with colleagues nor are the "productive micro meetings" missed in any way. It's mostly just our older producers who can't get their heads around proactively making chat groups for strike teams and have spent their entire careers wandering around the office looking over peoples' shoulders.

"This is a bit of a... a poof song"
I think it's borne of the knowledge that actually most peoples work load rarely requires 8 hours of effort per day, so basically they know that it means people are free to spend their time more enjoyably than idly clicking around on a spreadsheet while browsing social media on their phones, and they HATE it.

edit : also, it's purely performative. Most of the tabloids are ranting about everybody working from home, at the instructions of their owners and editors, while the actual staff (especially senior) of those tabloids are all happily... You guessed it! Working from home.

I feel fortunate sometimes that I haven't had a job where I had to have meetings. I get tasks to do and I just have to go do them, and I get left alone to do them, I can go weeks without speaking to a manager if I am lucky, just put the things you want me to do on a computer and I can look at the computer and understand what I have to do, it's like the mcdonalds touchscreen of work, there barely needs to be anybody involved and I don't have to talk to anybody.
