I've just used a paper straw for the first time. Get the planet to f**k. Kill it. It's not worth it.

There should either be no straws (or metal straws if at home - or if you're not weirdo OCD about standard utensil washing in a bar etc.). It's the gaslighting that paper straws are in any way an effective solution that is risible.

Went to the bakers for two poppy seed rolls. Left spending £13. The breakfast is magnificent though.

Up the Rough & Frasers!

Big team found.

I just had them with lunch tongue and beetroot. 

Long may the poppy seeds reign over us. 

Hope you had a minute silence before you ate them.

Changed jobs last month. Took the plunge and left a toxic workplace that promised much over the 18 months I was there but ultimately failed to deliver on stuff like shift patterns and relentlessly called, text and emailed on days off, albeit did increase my wage by 35% over the piece.

Now I’m earning £500 more a year for a job that is much the same but without toxicity, has a 4 days on, 4 days off pattern and doesn’t call on days off. What a life.

ETA: from the point I handed in my notice to when I left, not one of the management team said a word to me, not even a “thanks for your hard work”, don’t know why but it really got to me.

Next door have a tampoline out back.

Had a shot & nearly fucking bounced out of the safety curtain.

Swear I'm winning a Darwin Award someday.

Not sure a tampoline was what you meant...but, in the spirit...

There are two physical things insurance companies in the U.S. ask about your backyard in the U.S. before quoting you a rate. 1) Do you have a swimming pool? 2) Do you have a trampoline? Yes to a pool and they ask about a fence, etc...yes to a trampoline, and about half of them end the call there. Seems the insurance companies catering to Mormons are the best at insuring home owners with trampolines...just look at a satellite view of anywhere in Utah and there's massively more trampolines than pools there.

Yep trampoline. Brain probably flew into the clouds.
