My Jilly Cooper story... I worked in Dixons, Cheltenham, for a miserable two weeks over Christmas when I was a student. Jilly Cooper came in and whilst I was sticking security tags on joysticks she shot me a smile that a hungry man would give a plate of chips. Still gives me nightmares.

Looks like an enormous sperm to me. A jizzile.

"We buy 100% green energy" is a cop out large corporations take to not reduce their own energy consumption. Especially co-located data centres. The greenwashing is atrocious. They'll buy "green electricity" in south Korea to offset the dirty kWh they are consuming in Singapore. Accountancy tricks.

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

"You shouldn't buy a new car. You're 86 and you've had 3 accidents in the past year" 2 months later... "I'm due to pick up the new car tomorrow and no one will insure me. What should I do?" Well, for a start you could try listening to your son in law 🤷
