The (poppy wearing) Prof and I are embarking on a project together just now. 

He had some mental ideas and, since they put me in charge of the programme, I just said f**k it and started implementing them. I reckon that in ~2 years the workload across the team will be well down. 

There is no Prof is there, it's just you.

"Aye, you're in charge, let me know when you're finished"

Was putting you in charge one of his mental ideas?

Amazon Alexa accounts. We use Google devices and all the devices, phones, tablets, speakers etc use the one centralised contacts list, so change a contact on one device and it is changed on them all. Compare that to the clusterf**k that is Alexa.

My wife’s elderly aunt uses Alexa to chat to my mother-in-law. Recently I had to change my mother-in-law’s Alexa account, so the aunt’s contact list needed updated. She has an Echo device, as well as a tablet and phone with Alexa on them. The tablet and phone are now so old that the Alexa app no longer works on them, so I went to delete the old contact details for my mother-in-law on the Echo, but it wouldn’t allow that. I installed the Alexa app on my phone and logged in to her account, but it only allows you to delete/modify contacts on the device that the contact was originally added, which is the tablet and phone that no longer work. So, from what I can see there is no easy way to delete old contacts as the contact list seems to be a collection of individual device contact lists, rather than one big master list. She now has 3 or 4 different entries for my mother-in-law in her contact list with only one of them correct, and no way of changing or deleting the incorrect ones. I hate Amazon Alexa.

They have added speed bumps to the retail park in Falkirk. They are ridiculously steep. Almost undrivable.

As long as you don't have Carlos Fandango super-wide wheels, dropped suspension, catalytic converter and a 4 pipe exhaust, you'll be fine.

Or you could always purchase an alta-pete pimptractor.

Nah, he’s got a Peel P.50, m8!

Was watching something on TV and the couple said their dog was a "jackapoo".

No you're dog is a moungral or you were stupid enough pay cash for something with apoo shoved on the end.

I heard a comedian explain the difference between cat and dog owners

"What kind of a dog is it?"

"It's a labrador cross with a boxer and there's a bit of spaniel and poodle thrown in. What kind of cat do you have?"

"It's orange"

My neighbours got some breed of cat and have turned the garden into Fort Knox to ensure it didn't escape. Genuinely thought you got Siamese and cats until recently!

We are cat folk, and name our cats based on their appearance.

We just lost mow mow but still have Blindy and Ginger. Blindy isn't blind though as she has one eye, and Ginger is actually tortoiseshell.  My wife names them - this could have equally been posted in the ITYPD thread.
