I just read this, another example of great working practices in the land of the free https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/28/sitting-at-work-employees-rest-worker-rights

Next they'll be saying they're going to mandate that all new build houses must have a chimney, so that there are job opportunities for all small children. The children need to contribute to the family rather than just take out.

They really are just Tories in a different strip.

I must be getting old as I have no idea who anyone/anything mentioned as trending is.

In one small example about cake, you have highlighted why the whole wedding industry is now so out of hand.

Another problem is there can be too high an icing to cake ratio. I want to eat cake with some icing, not icing with some cake

I really need to read things properly, missing out the "i" makes a huge difference to the reading of that.

I've just noticed what looks like a bee's nest in the roof of next door's shed, which is just over the fence. They look like Tree Bumblebees, and from what I've read they pose no threat, and will naturally move on by the end of July. We need as many bees as possible, so the more that can be left alone, the better.

Random fact, not really to do with the Titan but interesting. Beaked whales dive to 2000m several times a day to hunt. The deepest recorded dive was 2992m. They can also stay under water for hours, almost 4 hours being the longest recorded.

All in all he seemed to have the same attitude as a certain Mr BJ, the rules just get in the way etc etc etc.

Are you sure that's not Roger Mellie replying, as it sounds a Viz like letter

And bear in mind the Titan was 10 times deeper than the sub in that description

I wonder if their hull integrity system detected a failure?

I was just about to say that, but you beat me to it.

If you're a billionaire, do you need life insurance?

Easier way to imagine it is look at what's left of a spider when you step on it.

A cross Channel swimmer went missing and the search was called off after a day. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/firefighters-chilling-final-post-before-30298269

So the analysis of the little known polling company was carried out by a little known twitter account. Just saying.

Just back from a night in a bar that had karaoke and the crowd was mostly German, it was better than a UK karaoke.

Maybe it's like the plot of Capricorn One. Someone on the boat found out the sub never went down to the bottom, and it was all an elaborate hoax to scam money off of rich people. The porthole was really a TV screen, and all screens just showed videos.

I've now got a mental picture of an orca swimming about with a submarine sticker on it's side

I must be dyslexic as I read that link as Miller Homes, and thought they must be looking at building houses on the site.

Good to see if you down vote certain people in this thread you get a round of retaliatory down votes on completely unconnected threads. I seem to remember things like this happening before, but I may be wrong.

They must want to make a certain minimum amount of money from every mortgage.
