Oh wow, that's some harsh monitoring! I don't think we had those, although I may have missed the clipboard lady presence. Sadly we cannot miss the dickhead/twat presence wherever in the world we go 😬

I've never played it (I think it requires friends or something) but I'll have a look!

Gosh! I suppose you must be - I don't have any other fans in the league table 😍

I remember those 'pay back' days from my brief spell in China. Can't help but think it kinda defeats the purpose of a holiday, but dutifully we all went to our weekend work 🙃

OK it has its limitations as a lo-fidelity prototype, but we need SOMETHING like this! 😆

Bloody hell. Have the English Learning Center considered options such as, I dunno, learning English? 🙃

Camera on, required or not! Meeting participants sit deprived of visual glory by your unwarranted humility 😍

Step aside, Pyramid Head. Silent Hill players will thus tremble in fear at the feline wrath of "Cone Head" 😈

"computational pâté" is a phrase that merits entry into our collective vocabularies. Grinding up life and soul into a homogeneous paste palatable to the elite - what a bloody good metaphor 👏

I shall bring it to the coffee area when I am released from the shackles of the L&T Committee meeting 😘

No I think that's called cinder toffee or hokey-pokey! I've never tried it but I do love my Crunchies 😍

Crap I forgot you were on here! I was actually gonna eat it all myself but guess I HAVE to share it now 😅

Very much like fudge! Except the sugar/fat ratio is higher and it's set a bit harder than fudge (ideally, I don't think I boiled mine enough)

Ah yeah, that weird time in the 60s where every member of parliament was, coincidentally, called Norman. It was a more common name in those days to be fair.

Indeed! The implement is fondly known as the Crack Pipe and is baptised in Stella Artois before insertion.

Right!? Some actual food photos will be forthcoming. It was all quite overwhelming for a Scottish lad 😍

"Okay thanks everyone, I think we can fini- oh, Bob has raised his hand *to prolong the meeting for an extra 15 minutes with an unnecessary question about the project's fiscal policy that could EASILY be answered in a fucking email*. Go ahead, Bob!" 🙃

Academic writing can be so damn dry - where's the rule that we can't be creative!? Shake the system, write the whole thing in iambic tetrameter, figure captions in haiku. I'd love to review that 😍

I dunno, that's clearly a fine thread! 😜

Now that Winnie the Pooh is in the public domain, there's definitely scope for a justice movie ✊

Blessings of whoever to those who nevertheless still persist on the-platform-formerly-known-as-Twitter to say it like it is ✊

Betsy has a great deal to say on the matter. The trouble will be in condensing her rhetoric!

Dear Tony,
As you have ascertained, this is my discourse, and I will OWN IT irrespective of context. You may not like it, but this is what peak Miniature Schnauzer looks like.
Best wishes,
Daniel

My three introvert flavours when asked to make a comment on the thing I was supposed to read 😬

If they haven't exhausted all other options to make the book available for free, this is indeed lowkey terrible behaviour and I will (reluctantly) fight any (seemingly weak) opponents on this 👊

I've noticed that. On the one hand, pedantry, on the other hand, fascism, on the unorthodox third hand, sycophantic AI bot personas.
In an ideal world we'd quit social media altogether - none offer unconditional love like, for example, a Miniature Schnauzer does 💜

Oh wow this is my strategy for all problems. May you back yourself into a non-flammable entity next time! 💜

😆 I'm now wondering whether dinosaurs would've been physically capable of whispering, and in what contexts they would choose to do so, like if a Librarianophus Iratus was around 🤫

My drawing is poor but I bet this is how it happened millions of generations down the line 😅
