New addition to household; 8 week old Working Cocker Spaniel puppy, Jasper (or Kenynten Peanut Butter to give him his Sunday name)

It's been a three years since we lost our Springer - no-idea why we waited so long - he's a lot of fun.

Marvelous.
Having had my ma's pup for 3 weeks whilst they were on holiday, me & kids more convinced than ever we need another. Mrs Scouse wants a family holiday this summer instead.

Result X2.

I spent the morning at a GDPR seminar.
Part of it was soft sell of some software to help the DPO manage the whole process.

While that may be exciting to some one other attendee noted that he was impressed at the 'templatising' of the whole process.

That nearly woke me up.
I hate people like that.

I once worked at a place where the toilets were near the stores and in those stores was a really accurate scale. We used to weigh ourselves before and after taking a piss to see who could do the biggest one. No one could, as everyone's wees were nearly always around 300 g/ml.

Awesome

The guy I referred to earlier also used the word 'learnings' which is another pet hate of mine.

Instead of asking 'what had been learned' from a particular process he managed to ask something like 'as you've gone through this process what learnings are there?'.

Who was it who said
"I like my women how I like my coffee....... black and strong" ?

Yes, I think you are right.

Surely all petrolheads should refer to this as 'a fluid change'?

Was behind an M4 tonight on the M80, doing c. 75-80mph. What a boring, tedious drone the exhaust is on these, at that sort of steady speed. Had to drop back after less than a mile, as it was actually painful to hear! 

Not much traffic on the M3 this morning on my drive to work, and hardly any trucks.
Pleasingly strange !

I heard one start up a few weeks ago and as the guy let it idle for 10 or 20 seconds it reminded me of a loud hammer drill going at a slow speed. Not nice.

Local boozer has put their prices up. I'm now having to pay £3 for a pint of Becks.

Sounds really cheap to me too, well over £4 a pint for a decent pint in my local.

Went to an awards thing on Thursday in London, £9.10 plus 10% service charge for a 330ml bottle of lager. Thankfully it was on expenses, although I have paid more than 50% more than that out of my own pocket in Venice.
