It's the emails after you've stayed in a hotel that make me smile. They always seem really pleady and needy about leaving a review. 

I can really recommend deleting the hotel booking site cookies though. I'm sure they use your previous browsing for a place to determine how desparate you are for a room, and adjust prices accordingly.

 

I only ever complete these reviews if I has been something that is below my expected standard and I want them to know about it, I am probably not alone in this so it surely must skew their data

I had a good giggle when reading a bargain book that I obtained recently from the bargain bin in "The Works", for the princely sum of £1:50 I bought "False Starts, Near Misses and Dangerous Goods" by Geoff and Ian Body, a collection of interesting and sometimes funny tales of Railwaymen and their work.  The tale that made me laugh was about various wildlife that had escaped onto the line into Liverpool Street station in London, how an Emu came to be loose on the tracks is not known, but as it was not captured, the signalman sent the bell code 4-5-5 to the next 'box.  Why 4-5-5? Well an EMU running away in right direction of course!!!:D

I have noticed a chain of shops recently called "Eggless Cake Box"

 

They boast that they sell "Pure Vegan Eggless Fresh Cream Cakes"

Does not say anywhere that they are Dairy-Free!

In fact it says "Our cakes may contain milk"

 

Someone doesn't know what vegan means.

About a week ago I was having dinner in an eatery when the people at the next table placed their order. One lady proclaimed that she was a vegan and queried virtually every item on the menu with the waitress, dismissing each in turn. The owner was summoned by the exasperated staff member and she, in turn, offered options by mixing, matching and inventing possible solutions. Eventually the vegan opted for - wait for it - a poached egg.

If you remember the Two Ronnies sketch, paraphrased, 'its always fresh and you don't have to leave the empties out or the milkman'.

Hi Mark,

 

This is the best Two Ronnies restaurant sketch:

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“I have a PhD in physics and thanks to a random brain freeze forgot the word for photon

so had to call it a ‘shiny crumb’ in front of my colleagues.” 
Physicist Paul Coxon kicks off a discussion of times when even experts found that words were hard. (Mashable)

^^. Looking really good now, amazing what a bit of care and attention does for them. Presume he'll be going to the vets for another little op before too long? Wouldn't want you to lose him to a passing female:-)

 

Yes, that’s another couple of months away yet though, don’t want to stunt his growth by having it done too early
