I love it! But it looks like it isn't built for tall people 😢

Customer service has been good too - I was overpaying for a while and it didn't take long for them to issue refunds when I asked about it.

We've been with Eon for quite a few years - never had any problems with them, and their renewal price increases have never been too bad. We occasionally get a little bit of money back for shifting our energy usage to different times of day with the 'PowerUp' and 'TurnDown' targets.

Yes! One of the rare occasions when a cover version is better than the original.

Yes! This film could (and should) have been so much fun but it just didn't do it for me.

Back in my days as a temp I was given notice because I had the audacity to be off sick for a few days. My last two days were training up my replacement. I might have accidentally trained them to pay the full value for lost international parcels instead of splitting the cost with the overseas company

Bold of you to assume they're all even capable of wiping their own bum.

1) In the airing cupboard 2) On the roof 3) Under the bed 4) Through the window 5) Beneath the cat litter tray 6) Beside the portal to hell 7) Up your bum

Not for just now, but a seasonal one, break up a big Thornton’s Easter egg and melt it on milk. (Also works with the massive Easter bunny they used to make)

Take your pick from the old public information films! Robbie, Lonely Water, and Play Safe all spring to mind. You just *knew* shit was about to get real when the teacher wheeled out the tv at junior school assembly.

Yep, I've always seen a degree as evidence that you're capable of learning the job rather than being ready to do the job with no training.

Yeah, Paul still brings it every single time. I was torn between Moon Safari and Portishead’s Dummy. (Both were the soundtrack to my bedroom back in the day).

Great choices there (and a couple of artists in common with mine!).

So sorry to read this - hope you get a decent rest and feel a bit better soon.

We were there a couple of months ago - lovely isn’t it?

I think it's time to stop referring to 'the landlord class'. Yeah, they're landlords, but they have zero fuckin class.

So much for my long lie in bed for the long weekend, Little Miss Jumping On The Bed At 8am.

I’m sitting on a sofa in a dark blue fluffy hoodie. A Weimaraner is in the foreground holding my hand with her paw.

A4. Being very efficient at some work tasks means I can take more time over the work I find difficult. The difficult tasks are the ones requiring more soft skills - training, writing reports, chairing meetings. #AutChat

A2. Explaining my process for how data fits together is very difficult. I can see it in my head but find it very difficult to explain to other people. “Trust me, it’s correct” isn’t the explanation people are looking for!

A1. Data modelling is my superpower. I can chuck something together in a couple of hours that can take others days to produce. #AutChat

If I’m interviewing you, feel free to bring a coffee (iced or otherwise). Whatever makes you comfortable. If you don’t try to make the interviewee feel as comfortable as possible, you won’t get the best out of them. And I haven’t hired a bad candidate yet.

One of our local takeaways does something along those lines - pepperoni bites - but it's a slice of pepperoni rather than a stick. And yes, they are as delicious as they sound.

Add more carriages! Guaranteed seats for everyone!

Themed carriages might work. Sociable carriage for people who want a chat, pub carriage for folks annoying a drink or two, business carriage for laptops and work phone calls, family carriage for kids to enjoy themselves, and the leave me the fuck alone I’m enjoying the view carriage for … erm … me.

The Saint Etienne farewell tour was superb. I’m a bit sad that I won’t get to see them again, but so happy I got to hear Pale Movie live one last time.

Yep, there are lots of films that haven’t aged well because of one or two things, but this one? So. Many. Problems.

Best thing about the conference: Either glorious train wine or glorious sandwiches. Worst thing about the conference: I’m sure one of the presenters was wearing perv specs. And he was all into AI. I wanted to fucking lamp him. But I didn’t because I am all professional and shit.

Wes Spookrie-Smith 🏳️‍🌈 👻 @mrmochriesmith.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Just as well I fucking LOVE sandwiches as the conference lunch was sandwichy too. Man cannot survive on bread alone? True but I’m living proof that he can if it has delicious fillings.

Ooh, I just found out that wine is included in the meal deal on Avanti West Coast. I think I deserve a wee wine after the 30 minute delay… Also, this will be my 5th meal deal in 3 days. I eat terribly when I’m at conferences because I hate eating alone in restaurants.
