When "white sauce" in fish pie Contains cheese, it’s a lie. That’s a mornay.

Enough with the AI generated fake footage of 9/11. It was the first ever terrorist attack with camera phone footage. It was so grainy, watched it so many times in the Home Office in the aftermath. So disrespectful to fake it for clicks

Sometimes a service design mindset is not helping when all you really need to do is surrender to the ‘recruitment form which is slightly but critically different from the process in your last four departments’ But on the positive side: we are hiring 2 x g6 delivery managers, ads out v soon

- Why did this civilisation collapse? - Some of its finest minds were driven to madness by endless evenings refreshing websites to book their children's after-school activities. - But why did they not simply have websites that worked? - No one knows. Scholars differ.

In my career I have organised stuff involving PMs, celebs and royalty, in remote prisons and in freezing car parks with vehicles too large to travel on public roads. none of this compares to trying to corral 15 groups of y7 parents to one campsite

on a hotel balcony drinking cold beer from which I can ‘actually see into’ Pompeii ruins. 5th? time here and it never gets less exciting. my family are mostly very nicely tolerant ‘look guys, it’s only a 45m walk to the villa dei mysteri!’

Wow, so they actually bothered to replatform civil service pensions into a service which ‘doesn’t actually tell you how much your pension is’. love to see the early user stories version for this and the rag-rated critical path to go live.

I’m confused. Why did far right protestors circle the IMAX? What has the imax ever done to them, etc..

I did not expect my morning to involve getting caught up with a load of far right protestors at Euston. People marching through the tube station using megaphones to sing Tommy Robinson songs, clearly intimidating staff, and me. not sure where the transport police are..

Just spent three hours on HMRC’s pension calculator service and want to cry. I imagine it went something like: ‘no, content designers, annual allowance IS the same thing as pension input amount, it’s totally clear’ during a year long argument between CS pensions and HMRC legals
