Andrew R @excelpope.net · 7hI used to have a dog that hated my (lovely) next door neighbours, from Malaysia. She'd even growl at them when they were hand-feeding her treats. I reckon you can put her on the list. 130

Andrew R @excelpope.net · 29/09/2026Good luck, I sent John le Carre the best bits from my new Bond novel, for his approval, and he didn't even reply to my email. 130
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 29/09/2026"I would not have released those people on bail," says the man who has repeatedly criticised the decision to release 5 other guys, even after their conviction was overturned on DNA evidence. 510915
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 28/09/2026I know it's not Sunday any more but I thought you'd want to see this... 110
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 27/09/2026Well, let's have some Sunday stats, with a whole new feature, to celebrate this thread's ½ birthday (tomorrow)… 200
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 24/09/2026Took me a while to realise that the gif above your post wasn't a commentary on the difficulty of shaping bagels. 020
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 24/09/2026Then the section adding about attitudes to those news sources gets cut down further. 110
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 24/09/2026Right, it's a big old survey, and a lot of people were asked it, 5,397 in total. Of those, 3,503 said they'd used *any* BBC TV channel for news in the past month. It's important here to understand that these aren't necessarily 3½K people sitting down to the 6 o'clock news every night. 120
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 24/09/2026Is GB News the most trustworthy news source? Well, it's 7:30am, I'm waiting for a boring data export to complete, so let's take a look. 3103
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 22/09/2026Over on Twitter, some nutter claims to have found Noah's Ark and says, "When we are done, University curriculums will need to be re-written, and Darwinism will be dismantled." In response to a reply, saying you couldn't fit every species of animal onto a single boat, she replies… 12221
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 21/09/2026Warner Bros weren’t keen on it either. (Taken from Censored, by Tom Dewe Matthews) 100
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 20/09/2026I managed to put my back out this week, lugging the bike around, but Mrs R was adamant that this was the weekend the box-drain around the conservatory was getting cleaned, so I gallantly sent her out onto the roof to do it… #NoSexismHere 2151
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 20/09/2026Thrilled on yesterday's walk to manage to get a picture of the rare mullet mallard. 2110
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 20/09/2026I was looking something up on Google Maps, and I think I might have found out why successive governments have been so bad at delivery. 733359
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 19/09/2026Car review: The GWM Jolion + Never breaks down (although does sometimes fail, on a deeply technical level) + Looks smart - Poor performance - Repetitive droning sound - Inexplicably high running costs 350
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 18/09/2026At least I can now tell David what we'd both apparently been missing… 210
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 18/09/2026Ha, I've managed to literally never notice that it explains substitutions. Regular Sherlock fucking Holmes, me. But congrats on the awesome time. 010
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 18/09/2026Left, MPs debate their own pay rise. Right, MPs debate who wants to form their own band for next year's Eurovision. 0133
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 17/09/2026Honestly, the extremist views now being openly posted on Twitter are completely out of control. 2100
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 17/09/2026I created this slide, for our internal training on AI, on when it's fine to use it and when you should be worried. Sadly, a lot of the people I see using it still fall into the bottom row. 2193
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 17/09/2026This could be a great national debate, where we struggle to understand if the proposers of solutions are joking or if they're just fucking insane. 2131
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 16/09/2026Honestly, this is the most "We're doomed" job description I've ever read. This bit, from the "What You'll Do" section is comedy gold. 171
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 16/09/2026I guess they could have missed a '1' off the start of the lower end (which wouldn't explain the precision) but reading their "About us" section my guess is that they'd take you on at £140,737.58 but by the time you'd earned £38,168.90 they'd be down the tubes. 240
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 16/09/2026I've fallen down a bit of an Indeed black hole. There's a lot of strange stuff on there. So puzzled as to why this one has specified the salary range *to the penny* when it covers a £100k+ range. (Obvs if they'd been willing to go to £140,737.60 I'd have applied, but I know what I'm worth) 270
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 16/09/2026RECRUITMENT TIP: Make your vacancy more appealing by listing the salary based on a 1,725 working-day year. 2243

Andrew R @excelpope.net · 14/09/2026In the early days of Pratchett there was a really clear marketing decision to pitch him as, “Douglas Adams, but fantasy” that - credit to the marketers - stuck, long after it ceased to be true. From my 1986 copy of The Light Fantastic… 150
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 13/09/2026Sorry, but this was stuck in my head, and inflicting it on you lot seemed like the best solution. 1100
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 13/09/2026Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think, “Who the fuck would buy this?” 4150
Andrew R @excelpope.net · 12/09/2026tfw your mum has all her friends round and makes you do "polite conversation" with them but they're talking about really boring grown-up stuff and you just want to go on your Playstation. 315243
