Already thinking about lunch. I really need to up my office snack game now they’ve seemingly stopped buying in biscuits.

Feel pretty grotty. Not sure if I’m just really hungry.

I’ve just arranged to go with BT from Virgin.

I’m on broadband only at about £30 and they want to increase it by £2.99. A 10% hike? Fuck off mate.

Quidco were offering £140 cashback to go to BT. So long Branson!

Nice. Fuck off, Branson.

I was looking at some smaller providers this morning, but I reckon this might be one of those rare things that it’s not worth being indie about.

Ate some amazing barbecue food last night. Really good stuff.

What was the sauce situation like?

#34

Weirdly, the sauce side was probably the only weak link of the whole meal. I got 12-smoked mutton shoulder, and the sauce it came with was very vinegary.

Morning DiS!

Need to post my Cambridge Audio headphones back for a replacement at lunchtime. I feel bad that I donated to charity for these and I’m asking for a second replacement.

Might just wing the National Foundation for Youth Music some money to help my conscience but I don’t like to talk about my charity work.

I had a bit of a situation last night. I was in a toilet and noticed that I’d somehow dropped some of antibacterial gel that I had with me on the floor. It looked liked jizz so I thought I should make sure I wiped it up before I left. I forgot obviously and only remembered when I got to wash hand basin by which time a lady had passed me and walked in there. I remember looking in the mirror and thinking I can’t believe that has just happened, it’s not like I can wait around for her to come out to persuade her that it’s not jizz.

Take it to the Thursday filth thread

Not filth! It was perfectly innocent. I had to sit through the class knowing she was in the room thinking that I was filthy pervert.

Sad but true.

I had a couple of tiny ISPs in the early days who were really great. Freedom2surf were the people I first bought broadband from. Man, that was an exciting day when I switched from dial-up.

The speed! Nearly took my eye out.

As requested by @anon67149139, I have brought my Victorian slang dictionary into work. It’s from 1873, when men wore chokers and women often worked as draggletails.

I’m feeling a bit Mondayish today, so maybe this should be turned into a multiple choice quiz, to satisfy the quid-nuncs amongst us.

Do you want a quiz?

  • Yes
  • Go away, you Slawmineyeux

Show results

Choker a cravat, a neckerchief
Draggletail a prostitute of the lowest class
Mondayish disinclined for work
Quid-nunc an inquisitive person, always seeking for news
Slawmineyeux a Dutch person. Probably a corruption of the Dutch “ja, mynheer” or the German “ja, mein Herr”

Those pictures not loading slowly from the top down any more could lead to dangerously quick flaccid --> fully erect transitions, as I recall from my own experience.

one of my all-timers has sent back his pair 4 times now. same prob.

gonna put my cynical head on here for a bit. there is no way these guys will not release these in the future. iamgine how much cash money and hours have gone into putting these together. reckon the charity thing was a sly test-run, me sen

#43

I kind of don’t mind if they keep replacing them though.

#44

How dangerous exactly?

Like the opening scenes in Casualty?

#45

Exactly like that, but eight or nine times more dramatic, but with less convincing acting.

Made it to mum’s, she was nice and surprised. Now sat driving down to sunny Somerset.

Half hour in and it’s been constant gripes about some minor cough she’s got and how her council tax bill has gone up. Bless her, and I sympathise, but it’s dawning on me that I’ve got a full six hours of this by the time she tells nan the same things, then the drive home.

Mums eh? Great bunch of lads.
