Am I alone in recalling a Kenny Everett character who had a catchphrase about doing things in the best possible taste and thinking that character’s name might be quite apposite ? 😉

I can help win the Glasgow references… I’m afraid the basketball stuff goes about the same height above my head as the average NBA player would !😉

As someone who struggles to walk on an icy pavement I am in awe of all the competitors in Winter Olympic sports .. but the skeleton thing is literal insanity .. what would possess you to even think of doing that !!

This might be my first mention here .. ignore the date.. it’s going be 29 April 2025… I might be a decent housing lawyer but I’m a lousy time traveller ! 😂😂

Haven’t checked but seem to recall that the “right to rent” rules which required landlords to check immigration status were never extended to Scotland … thus not even an offence up here ?

It was #ChristmasJumperDay today ( does this place do “hashtags”?) … I do not own (nor ever intend to own) such a garment.. I thought my shirt, tie and hat combo were suitably festive for the TC Young group photo !! 🎄🎅😉

Can recommend Conclave if you fancy a trip to the pictures … beautifully shot and superb performances especially Ralph Fiennes … also first time in a while that I have lowered the average age of the audience 😉

Thank you… interesting article…Do I need to tip you for that ? 😂

Jim Bauld @jimbauld.bsky.social · 02/12/2024
Understand completely 😉 I do tip and will continue to do so until that day comes 😂😂… indeed was even queried a couple of weeks ago when I added cash tip to a bill that had service charge added because we were a “party of six or more “.. staff thought I hadn’t noticed ..I had.. was happy to add more

Jim Bauld @jimbauld.bsky.social · 02/12/2024
But it seems to be the argument that staff need the tips to make an actual wage.. that staff cost( ie a proper wage for service staff) should be part of the business budget.. what other business runs on that basis? The entire idea of “tips” needs abolished.. pay folk a proper wage

Why don’t restaurants and bars raise their prices to cover the staffing costs ? As a non-US person it just seems bonkers that you would run a business where your budget and thus price to customer didn’t include all staff costs ?

Posted this elsewhere the other week after my first “post stroke” court appearance !! ..the stroke was about 18 months ago and hopefully the warning has been well heeded!! Thought it might be a useful first post here 😉
