Does anyone have any idea what this is? At a conference in Italy, and this ame in the goodie bag (logo on other side). Bit on back slides out to a hook of sorts, bit that swivels round has a felt widget (non-removable) in it. And no, it's not a USB drive.

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings

Why the fuck can't pharmaceutical companies agree on which end of the box should be opened to get to the lovely drugs inside without having to pull the leaflet out of the way first? Sometimes it's the end with the batch details, sometimes not. Come on, drug dealers, sort it out.

Another storm, and more substantial bits of The Tree has landed in our and our neighbours' garden. We're on to insurance (doesn't cover fences) and Sandwell Council ("not our problem"). Most of it is still standing and dangerous - who do we get to fix this before there's serious damage or injury?
