They worry that what they're doing isn't 'real work'. Never enough to stop making GBS threads their thoughts onto pages, but sufficient enough that they can't conceive of everyone doing that.

I remember a bunch of boomer memes from old bus drivers and transport union lads at the start of lockdown along the theme of doing a bus driving job at home, that were all a bit :rolleyes: about what a real job is, but at least they were doing that while doing or having had done that kind of work, not turning their rage at Pret being closed on the entire world while... actually sat working from home.

Time passes quickly on the weekend.

We lost a couple of roof tiles in the storm.

My landlord is one of the better one (if that's possible), had already been over to get measurements and see what's needed. Has arranged repairs for Monday.

I request that he be moved to the latter half of the guillotine queue.

I'm loving glad our old rotting fence didn't disintegrate (probably because the wind could blow through the holes) because we've complained about it to the landlord in the past and he'd 100% have accused us of destroying it ourselves to try and get a new one.

so-called "workers" are shifty and lazy (if they were not, they'd be managers or landlords)
they only do work if managers are there to scream at them and force them to work
managers aren't allowed into people's homes (thanks to the woke brigade!)
ipso facto, people "working from home" are doing nothing of the sort. probably posting 'memes' to their tick tock pages all day :ssj:

We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.
Fond memories of being by myself at my parent's house while they were on holiday during the Newcastle supercell storm in (??? 2012 I think?), pretty sure we didn't have power for like two days, it was ridiculous. Weirdly vivid memory of seeing cars floating in the water that had accumulated into gently caress off lakes under the bridges on the coast road, then getting home, seeing the whole garage was under about three inches of water, and having to barricade the patio window with every towel in the house in a desperate effort to stop the place being flooded. One of my old high school friends who lived on lower ground had the whole new house he'd just moved into completely flooded and ruined, the water was up to his waist downstairs. Crazy stuff, still never seen anything like it since

The UKMT Fudge Baron


Lost the fence at the back of the garden today. I
Our neighbour (Lovely old dude, super friendly, dread finding out what his politics are..) popped over to fix it.

It was really quiet (just wet and nasty) almost all day but when the wind did come it was with a vengeance. Sounded like a jet engine. We’re on the crest of some high ground, so it was pretty intense. The cats went absolutely bananas, poor things.

Hey if you put your coat over your head like a sail you could probably reach motorway speeds.

I free wheeled the three miles home on my bike decades ago, sat up straight and let the wind do it's thing, it was lovely.

But such things are situational as i had to cycle into the wind for three miles in the first place. :argh:

They're completely different. Tater tots are more like mini hash browns. Croquettes are mashed potato and are way bigger.

You can get devices to perform that sort of thing within the privacy of your own home these days, should you wish.

Also far safer than running an old Flymo engine that close to your gluteal arteries and other arse related parts.

I live about 35 miles from the sea and mine and my neighbours windows are covered in salt.

There is also a huge tree that is just resting on the power lines down the road from me. That must have been the flickering. I hope it holds.
