It's a solid point, but I don't think it's the main point. Workplace gossip is class. Baxter clearly hasn't sorted out his filter to let the shite pass through and keep the good gear. His fault. No one else's. 

That I would agree with if there was anything worthwhile to glean from it. I don't understand why they don't realise that they're inane yammer has absolutely no point. Even as basic communication it's missing the mark. It looks like these two will be in the car for the next two weeks. I will keep you all updated!

I drove my wife and 2 pals to a wedding on Saturday night. They were all a good few #proseccos in by the time we left and the drive was torture. Like being surrounded by a flock of seagulls with megaphones.

(unfortunately not the excellent 80s band of the same name)

Billboard in a farmer's field near Swindon annoyed me today.

 

"Put British pork on your fork"

 

On what planet does that rhyme? It's been bugging me for hours. 

In the area of England where the ad agency are based.

In related knitting-ripping annoyance, the way the McDonald's voiceover guy pronounces 'sauce' as 'source'.

Even worse when they rhyme it with 'talk' - which is why in Cockney 'rabbit' means to talk a lot; short for 'rabbit & pork'.

It’s the accent thing. Radio Rentals or similar used to use “Don’t you pay any more Mrs Moore”.

I recently saw that advert during the commercial break on some old VHS uploaded to YouTube - it was Rumbelows.

Hadn't seen it in thirty years and I still remembered the lyrics.

This is an oddly specific one but basically people who, when writing posts or comments on social media, write “Checks notes” in them.

I don’t know why it winds me up so much but you can tell they are trying to be smart and think they are original but it’s also one of the most annoyingly overused things to write. P

That's prime reddit patter.

Are you suggesting that pork DOESNT rhyme with fork?

It doesn't. Pork. Pour-k

Fork rhymes with cork, or dork

As in, put a fucking cork in it, you cement dork

Either or, Shirley? 

I say pork but the Mrs says pourk, I think most people I know would say pork tbh.
