Can anyone explain to me why estate agents have started putting photos of themselves on For Sale signs? Wankers, whatever the reason. 

Check my signature for details.

Very American thing. So naturally folk in this country would start picking up on it.

A similar thing happened to me in Edinburgh Airport, except the manky fella in question walked straight out and behind the counter of the sushi bar.

Fish and Pish - almost the same things!

Put a face to the name, people you can trust! Go various websites, lawyers firms particularly, and click on "meet the team". We even have an internal one in my work. I often amuse myself looking through these galleries of horror.

We've got a new website being built and I was told to supply a photo. Had to use an AI thing to create one with a smile.

Never occurred to me. We had to get new ones done for web and ID cards. The guy doing it just used my photo taken 14 years ago as there were no real changes. I didn't know whether to laugh of cry.

There is one very senior colleague who started recently. I was amazed someone so young had achieved her post. Imagine my surprise when real life intervened.

Our Head Office was in Swindon and I did my best to avoid it as much as possible. When I did get dragged in I discovered the LinkedIn pictures of the office lassies were absolutely nothing like the reality.  (shudder)

YouTube recipe videos that dwell too long on chopping individual items.

There's only so much content you can create when making chips

The new Paul Heaton song that references "fish and chip supper".

I know fish supper wouldn't fit into the lyrics, but still 😡

It's made you really angry. Old Red Eyes is back. You should Keep it all in. It's just a Song for Whoever albeit not a Perfect 10.

If you had a little time you could have thought of a better pun than that.

Ram your boring weather chat.

It's been glorious anyway, warm but not roasting with a pleasing breeze and refreshing drizzle when it rains, as well as being light for ages. Genuinely the best summer weather.

 

 

Anyway, Lidl baskets, the big plastic ones with wheels. They're always fucking filthy and I have to sort through a load before finding the least dirty one. Rank.

Incorrectly using "just about" when actually you mean "only just".

The commentator in the Germany vs Spain game on ITV committed this crime after Germany equalised.

If headline writers could stop referring to teams/players "edging" each other, that would be nice.

Not a mental image I need.

Add to that, using momentarily to mean in a short time rather than for a short time. I heard a commentator the other day saying the players would be there momentarily. Stop with this American crap.
