LOL..most of the specimens I was referring to must have been a way higher percentage than that. Collectively they couldn’t manage their way out of a room with no walls!

Yeaaaaah…..about that last bit. Totally sure that at least one has slipped through the net. You should have met some of the specimens I have had to work with over the years. Hey maybe if we got them tested……obviously for the benefit of science and stuff…..…… ……..personally I’d recommend dissection as Plan A……….don’t even need a Plan B…. Hey don’t judge me….you've never them!

Although Beaker’s career was totally upstaged by Cookie Monster’s career….OMG i have totally cracked a few ribs and busted my nose in the mosh pit to this classic. …

I take it that you don’t mean ‘Beaker’? He made it massive with a career in Death Metal….Ta Da!

Totally agree. Don’t think traditionally. You are playing by some else’s rules. Also…think! These aren’t your b@llsh!t rules and it ain’t your game….but you can be better at playing it than they are! Remember you can always self identify as anything you like! Totally learnt that at the UK largest metropolitan transport organisation…..and I got a certificate…and everything!

Yeah but probs a certainty that the journalist writing that lives in the Home Counties. What what…

Woken up at 04:00 with a screaming sinus headache. Now got to balance taking some ibuprofen against my normal steroid meds. Ibuprofen doesn’t help my breathing, so it is a fine balance against getting rid of the headache and not being able to breathe. Tricky. Just mustering up the enthusiasm to limp off down to the castle kitchens to make a couple of Mokkas. Bleedin knee still playing up. The other day Mrs Grizz muttered a passing comment, something to the effect of “field ornaments get put down for less”… How much sympathy????…….NO f in sympathy! That’s how much! Mmmmmph…..a person should be careful about how little sympathy a person gives to a person, especially when a person brings a person a Mokka every morning.

Funny, That’s exactly what the cops said.

Yes……yes I did get an invite. However I was turned away at the gate….because they didn’t appreciate some of my essential ‘cultural tools and equipment’. Discrimination right there. Me politely putting my point across at the gate. Taken from security cameras on the day.

Yeah I struggled with ‘Thorbin Skullsplitter’. …..it was pure prejudice…just because the chair of the interview panel was from York. So a few relations of mine may have had ‘The odd Away-day’ to York, several generations ago. Ok. And ok, so a few of the locals can still be’a bit touchy’ about it.

Not in the UK it’s not. Especially if you want get past the initial screening of certain large government run transportation HR departments. I doubt most if not all people on here would get in using their real names. At interview it is likely you would be asked subtle scenario questions that would be used to determine or identify your like political view point. Especially for managerial positions. I have personally witness this. I would agree that ageism definitely exists but for sure it is not the only discrimination still extant in the UK workplace recruitment / potential employment.

Morning All Day off today. Yaaaaaaay. Might do some muddling. Suspect that I’ll end up doing some more mundane chores before that, although my mind is not on it really. It was wonderful to see friends who came over last Saturday night . We all laughed so hard about our yoof, with so many shared memories, both good and bad. They departed in the early hours and we finally stumbled up to bed. 36 hours later one of our friends was on a ventilator being treated for an extremely aggressive bacterial pneumonia. She may have to put into a coma to help her recover. We are now three days further down the line and she is still very seriously ill and has sepsis. To say that we are stunned is a fracking massive understatement. How the frack does that happen so quickly. She was fine on Saturday, absolutely no outward signs of illness, in fact she said how good she felt. Time for a cuppa…laters all ATB Grizz

I replied “No dear… i am just off to bed”…..

Mrs Grizz was glancing over my shoulder as you typed this…. in a low ish flat tone she uttered these words….. “Mmmmm courageous….. …… ..Don’t get ANY ideas”…..…… ……

Morning All Back to work today. Got to spend yet more time getting our computers upgraded, reupgraded, reintegrated or some load of bo//x that I really don’t have enough life left to be @rsed to want to understand. They have been a week kno& wobbling about with it. And they have spent half that time recovering stuff they accidentally deleted. …..although I have learnt one important term this week. When the poxy, useless and totally unco-operative thing doesn't work….’Rebooting’ your computer doesn’t mean stick your size 12, steel toe capped work boot through it a second time…..apparently. Ha who’d have thought. Have a great day all. ATB Grizz

I remember watching Notre Dame happing live, with my eyes welling up. Same again today. It is such a beautiful building with such a history. Wouldn’t like to be the contractors discussing this with the DK government right now. Or their insurance company either. 😬

We are so heartbroken at the terribly sad sight of this beautiful building being destroyed. https://www.google.com/search?q=bbc+news+denmark+fire&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari# Wonder if it was the same bunch of contractors who managed the fire safety at Notre Dame?

Oooooooooo did someone mention Custard????? Mmmmmmmmmmm custard….. Bear….you have sooooo got to try one……or two…..fudge it, as it is for scientific testing……take a round dozen….…..plus one spare….😂 Rule 2….you can NEVER have too much custard in your life! It would have been Rule 1….except getting custard on your layout doesn’t work…..take it from me!

yeah I think that it has a flag sticking out from behind its right ‘ear ol’ because….you’re defo not allowed to tattoo Koalas!

🤣….you clearly have never tried a Lime drizzle cake then? Tell you what Rum drizzle is the boll*ks. It is like a giant Rum Barbar. Also Weapons Grade Damson Gin drizzle cake is pretty dam good, it benefits from being stored in an air tight container in a dark cupboard to age a bit. Mrs Grizz’s Lemon Drizzle Cake will turn your eyes up at the corners, it is that good.

Actually lemon and lime is sublime! 🤣

She asked Lemon or Lime?

@polybear thank you soooooo much bud. Mrs Grizz sends you a very massive thanks too. We had no idea that these things existed. You are very welcome cuz. 😊 And as you say no lining pockets etc …….and 100% cured, with no possible reoffending.

Good tool for the job.

I so hope that she gets the support and recognition that she deserves. Without her actions to save and protect others without a thought for her own safety, it would have only ever likely been far worse.
