Like Wallace and Gromit but instead of cheese it’s biscuits.

  • I have two phones. A personal one and one provided by my company. I like being able to turn off my work phone when on holiday, etc and keep my personal life separate.

    I do know a lot of people who sold their personal phones when given a work phone and use it for both. Saves some money I guess but no thanks.

    I also know people who have two phones but install all the work apps on their personal phones to make it easier for them. No thanks!



  • That was a really interesting video and made me look at myself a lot. Recently my doctor put me on medication for anxiety. I never realised how badly it was affecting me, and like this video explains, I was looking for reasons to explain to myself why I was feeling wrong which self perpetuated the feeling. The worse part is while I didn’t understand why, I did recognise that I need to stop focusing on the bad stuff but I couldn’t break out of the cycle.


  • Years ago around Swanage and the surrounding areas there was low humming, I’m thinking early 2000’s. It was speculated it was caused by oil drilling in the nearby area but nothing was ever confirmed. I seem to remember it popped up now and then in local newspapers. But again, nothing confirmed.

    BP were operating in the local area at the time…

    Slightly unrelated but the same speculated site, now operated be Perenco, had an oil leak quite recently into Poole harbour. I don’t know if that was fixed fast but the news came and went very quicky. Nobody talks about it now. Perhaps it wasn’t as bad as it was first thought. I don’t know.



  • My sister once asked if I could help with the kitchen sink in her house as it was blocked. I started taking waste pipes off and quickly realised there’s a bunch of sardines stuck in one pipe. Her 15 year old daughter had shoved fish down the waste pipe of the sink rather than putting them in the bin. I still can’t understand the logic in her head. Surely it’s more difficult to push fish through the small holes at the bottom of the sink than it is to take 2 steps towards the bin.


  • My wife is Asian and we live in the UK. Quite often when we meet people who instead of simply asking “what sort of job do you do” they ask things like “Do you work in the NHS”, “Are you a nurse”, “Do you work in a care home”.

    Some random person outside a shop asked me how much my Asian bride costs.

    My wife and son were getting off a bus and somebody asked her how much would she sell her son for.

    Probably a bunch more but that’s all that comes to mind atm.
