Looks like I'm getting furloughed next week :toot:

My allotment isn't going to know what hit it.

I was very excited to spent all my weekends tidying up the garden. Then my council stopped the garden waste collection.

:argh:

This is what fire is for.

Can’t burn soil, I’m digging out cat poop filled raised beds.

Pretty sure your not supposed to put soil in the green waste bins. Especially if it has cat poo poo in it.

Some councils say they don’t take soil because it makes the bin too heavy, however our council doesn’t stipulate it being restricted.

If I can’t put it in the brown bin, what am I supposed to do with my soil?

They keep texting me telling me how desperate they are for O+ (if anyone's keeping a spreadsheet of goon blood types, there you go) even though I have an appointment booked to give on Monday. Anyway I decided to reschedule it as the sore throat I've had for a couple of days is 99.9999% to be from me scratching one of my tonsils with a burnt chip but I don't want to risk it. Next available session? July. You want my blood? Come loving get it, bitches.

I’m O+. Didn’t realise we were in demand.

I'm not 100% sure I follow, unless it's a joke where you're taking blood as a drug?

what it really boils down to, is I want to know if the O+ guys get invited to the special donations too or if that's only for O- people?

From my limited googling it would appear O+ can be used for anyone with + blood (ie A+, B+, AB+, O+) whereas O- can be given to anyone positive or negative, but they can only receive from O-.

This is making me realise I should donate more, especially as my wife can’t donate as she’s received a transfusion in the past.

Roughly when is it that the supermarkets open their next day's delivery slots?

We went on just after midnight and managed to book an Asda delivery for 2 weeks time. But there was also a random one for this Thursday.

Not surprising that the first time they try and enact some legislation they do it in the wrong way. And it’s super easy to wiggle out of if it’s done incorrectly.

our government haven’t quite gotten to the point of writing off privately held debt yet

give it a couple weeks

Was the NHS paying interest on the debt, or was it just like me borrowing a tenner from my dad, with both of us knowing that I’ll never pay it back.

That's got a lot more to do with the FAA making realtime air traffic data available, with the rest of the world relying on turbonerds running transponder receivers - if you look at Flightradar24, which probably has the largest amount of turbonerds supplying it with data (and filters out small private aircraft in the zoomed-out views), you'll see that traffic is still pretty busy across Europe.

e: If anything the US looks pretty quiet compared to Europe right now, but that's because it's early-mid morning in Europe and the middle of the night in the US.

Fun fact, Aberdeen airport was the busiest airport in the whole of the UK on Monday due to all the helicopters to the offshore oil platforms.

What the gently caress are you people putting through your sieves that you can't wash off?

After boiling peeled potatoes and straining them there ends up being mushy potato on the sieve. And if you use a sponge on the sieve it shreds the sponge.

I just chuck it in the dishwasher, same with my cheese grater.

Any of you muscle-bound athletes know where and how to buy a chin-up bar in the UK? A bit of googling gives me a good two million different lovely pieces of poo poo that suck. What I'm after is basically this:



i.e. just screw that thing on, permanently, rather than mess around with whatever too-cheaply-produced gimmick everyone's trying to sell

I’m always wary of chin-up bars that go over door frames. I don’t think my woodwork can support my goony mass.
