I’ve never heard it said A-did-as… but it was always Adi-Das before the Americans made it A-Dee-das

I have a theory that they average call volumes per minute over all 168 hours to give a stupidly low calls per minute to justify playing it when more than a few people call at once.

While it’s a well deserved compliment, in fact 2 compliments, I’m confused by the assertion that wittertainment is both unique, and the successful template replicated by many of today’s podcasts… still lovely sentiment.

I mean obviously we aren’t all calling it that… so what we calling in?

That just makes the mess at the end of the game so much worse.

Many more won’t. Labour has been a “tough on immigration” party for decades. This isn’t a new thing.

Bodies Bodies Bodies was a surprisingly good take on the Slasher genre even though almost every character is totally unlikable!

Why start with American Tech Companies? The Sun, Mail, Express and their friends are all big offenders and have been for years.

I blame The Apprentice… Reality TV and its need to eaves drop on calls - then people thinking that’s just what you do 🤦♂️

Good customer service isn’t about not fucking up, but how a company recovers from the inevitable fuck up.

Partly an issue with candidates “hiding” their address on the SoPN but 🤦♂️
Also assuming he hasn’t moved since 2021 am I right in thinking he doesn’t even live in the division?

If you’re a candidate with a desire to win you should be spending those hours knocking on doors and canvassing not delivering leaflets and you need a better campaign organiser. If you’re a no hoper you should just say you can’t do it - leaflets do matter.

There’s a reason I’m not a designer… I’d just slap the word “Toilet” or “W.C.” If you’re feeling classy on the door.

Hi I’m James and my interesting fact is I firmly believe this question was made up by someone that had an anecdote he was dying to share but had no friends that cared so he forced this onto the world.

My plan for World Book day… forget all the dressing up rubbish and just let all kids go sit in a book shop/library and enjoy books all day 😂

I dunno it was already looking clear from the early stoppers that there was no under cut which is also why Red Bull didn't buy the Norris "Come in", "Stay Out" dummy.

On social media they get round a lot by classing you as the publisher making that moderation process your own.

Ever since corporate tools for locking down USB and Bluetooth connections existed these policies tend to be on the decline as it’s cheaper to let employees use their own kit than make their employers pay for better or more accessible tech.

It was probably their own property as Mechanical Keyboards tend to be pricey (compared to standard OEM keyboards) so well done destroying someone’s property.

I like how Jira uses “Issue” (although we use Ticket internally) because doing anything in Jira is an issue.

There are a whole load of projects that are at a high level single person control that show having someone else involved might not be a bad idea....

Also the sub-heading refers to “Top Talent”, doesn’t apply equally to everyone in that job either only those that you know could walk over to a competing employer tomorrow without issue but would be a big loss to your company - although all benefit from flexibility.

Exactly the same as they do now, just for a company that respects them.

Not quit as in go live in a commune quit, but quit your job with a shitty work culture and move on to a more flexible company. Sure if every company went back to full office work then there’d be no choice, but full remote was a thing before COVID in some professions.

The new electric Mini doesn’t have a key, however the start “button” is in style of a plastic key welded into the centre console that you twist to power it on or off lol

Apart from the laziness aspect the fact that in 2 seconds you can reach over hold the button a second and it will fully open while your hand is back on the wheel.

I only ever use twitter these days to publicly raise complaints with major companies as mind blowingly that's still the most effective way to get issues solved!
