"quiet death". Ok then Shakespeare. I'm dying of second hand embarrassment. Prick.

I bet Rishi didn't have Prince's Fish Paste sandwiches for his tea either.

I bet Rishi went on the school ski-trip though. That's the real barometer of the have and have nots.

Giving #TrueDetective season 2 a rewatch. Best part is 100% Velcoro fighting to maintain ties with his son - beating up his bully's dad, spending $$$ on custody battles, building airfix kits etc, but then just ruthlessly ditching the kid because he wants to watch Friends on TV.

Behind every Stephen Bradshaw and every other incompetent at the post office is a piece of expensive, poorly executed, probably untested piece of shit software - likely presided over by the worst development practices that only those budgets can buy (£1bn).

Makes you wonder and fear what critical infrastructure Fujitsu had a hand in.

Every bonfire night I light a sparkler and remember the chap who queued in the massive queue for hotdogs for around 18 months only to discover that they were "FUCKIN' VEGAN!" & proceeded to walk the line warning everyone about the outrageous "FUCKIN' VEGAN!" subterfuge. Hero. – at Haslemere, England

Hats off to @BBC6Music playing Meshuggah - Bleed - probably the single greatest extreme metal track ever on a Wednesday lunchtime. youtube.com/watch?v=qc98u-eG…

She did it! 20 miles over two days and raised £612 for the @SharkTrustUK.
Replying to @SteveBackshall

Why have queues started forming in pubs? Actual single-file queues like we're all at the post office. What happened to the traditional scrum? The ordered chaos of a carefully orchestrated free-for-all? You all need to stop behaving yourselves. This ain't right.

Semana Santa is probably the most bonkers festival you could accidentally book an apartment in the middle of. Just when I thought it was over, Jesus woke me up at 2am going back the other way with a marching band.

Need one for Figma that just says "Haha, NO."
Tech companies honest headlines: a thread 1. Calendly

Probably wouldn't be very professional but I'd be tempted to not be redacting that screenshot.
The Software Engineer I interviewed last Friday messaged me to drop from the process. He refuses to work with women.

Calling it now. Royal Mail goes bust in 2023, smothered to death by unions. On the plus side, the Tories will be blamed - which will be the year's best happy accident as they get routed by stamp collectors.

And we're a 70,000 ish years long trip to the nearest star. Even if we get off this rock, we'll never dent those distances.
- Estimated diameter of the Milky Way: 100,000 ly - Estimated diameter of M31: 220,000 ly - Estimated distance between the two: 2.5M ly This is a realistic representation of the size and distance between the Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way [source: buff.ly/42GkhPN]
