July 18, 2023 at 16:30 #1655806Was there anywhere they didn’t smoke back then?

July 18, 2023 at 16:33 #1655807I cannot be downwind of a cigarette, not even outside.

Now I’ve landed, I’m quite enjoying this ****…July 18, 2023 at 23:16 #1655838Expressions such as “fur baby”, “dog dad” and “cat mum” need to be added here. They are your pets, not your children.
And that is before we even consider the nightmarish birthing imagery they provoke.

July 20, 2023 at 18:29 #1655980Since our company got bought out and we are now part of corporate concern we are having a team building day on Thursday, I am filled with dread, I can only imagine the bile I am going to be confronted with.

The powers that be are so out of touch but day out and a free lunch.

“This speaks to the issue…”
No; this speaks of the issue. You speak to a person.
