Repeatedly breaking into song? What are they doing in between?
If its crying you should offer condolences. Could be a broken heart.

Do a vulcan salute on your side of the wall, like Kirk and Spock in Star Trek II

The toilets at my workplace are self contained mini-booths: Sealed at the top and bottom for extra privacy, and each with their own sink.
I can’t complain. Thankfully no glory-holes.
They are also non-gendered. I mean I’ve no idea what gender the person in the next booth identified as. The singing style was fluting and semi-melodious.

You haven't lived until you've heard Tootsie sing Tainted Love. It's hilarious.

I think it is the hat. A very reassuring piece of headwear.

Morning all!
Based on sheepers or the other one going on about dark souls, I tried starting it up on the Switch again. I'll be honest, it's not an ideal way to play it. It looks bad.
Up early today, watching someone play classic game Dynowarz: Destruction of Spondylus. Really socking it to Spondylus.

I was just thinking about the cops last night. I was watching the Bourne Indentity, when at midnight a loud knocking on the front door and two surly cops standing there. A truly immersive film.
I also resisted the urge to take them out.

I'm sure he'll be here any minute...

I have basically been mugged by the local Co-Op.
I went there for a bag of the salt and vinegar crisps.
The assistant manager upsold me the last 6 bottles of old style Tobermory whisky they had in stock.
They have had this at least 7 years. I bought the new style in Edinburgh in 2016.
They must have bought a case when it went off production and had some in already.
I don't think anyone else who uses the Co-Op has bought any Tobermory at all in the last 10 years.
I am pretty confident on this because I have now bought a full case over two years.
It was on sale and if i had found it elsewhere it would cost £100 plus (I wouldn't buy it at that price.
It's a nice whisky. Not too strongly flavoured and pretty drinkable.
Though I still had almost 4 bottles left from last time.
To add insult they didn't even have the salt & vinegar crisps in I had to make do with salted.
And it cost 100 times what I was expecting.
On the plus side I can now hibernate.

Whisk(e)y chat: I was recently recommended Talisker Sky. Any good? Yes, but it isn't my favourite. I find it a bit too smoky in general though there are loads of expressions of every whisky these days. I prefer my whisky more peated and less directly smoky in general, but it is a matter of taste. I have had very nice Talisker. I wouldn't buy it, partly because I have many bottles of Tobermory. |

Did you see Tuffers when you were in the nick?

So they sold you some old stock that they'd had for 7 years that no one else wanted. Does it have a best before date. You might get your money back. |

I don't want my money back. They sold me old stock at a 33% discount.
Not quite such a big discount on the current price of equivalent whisky in a supermarket. I pretty much got one bottle of delicious whisky I really don't need for free and paid for 5.
Is that a good deal? Well I only really wanted some posh crisps, which they didn't even have.
Whisky doesn't have an expiry date. It claims to keep good in the bottle for years.
Though when i have tried it it never does.

I also resisted the urge to take them out. I was once woken by loud banging in the early hours and found numerous police at my door with one of those battering ram things ready to break my door down. Not sure if they had the wrong flat number or the person who they were looking for had moved. I talked them into believing me that I wasn't the person they wanted and they left. It was a bit scary and I probably didn't get back to sleep. |

I actually know exactly how this feels - I went to my local Coop on Monday night for a packet of those salt and vinegar crisps, and came away with a small bottle of Irn Bru and a packet of Haribo 'Tangfastics' on top. The Coop lads really know their retail.

I told the SWAT team shoot first ask questions later. He is a very dangerous individual who will try to talk his way out of anything.
Idiots.

Had armed anti terrorism special branch officers camping in my spare room 24/7 for ten days a long time ago. They wanted to observe the comings and goings of a house nearby they suspected might be visited by a visiting foreign national with known terrorist connections. They had vetted the whole street and my family came out top of their list. They drank a lot of tea and always managed to startle me in the night if I got up. They did 15 min shifts 24hrs a day observing out the window. Wearing a black hood and a cape at night. The anti terrorism detective sergeant gave us £50 of M&S vouchers as a thank you. And our names and address went on a priority list that if I ever dialled 999 there would be a response car arriving in 5 mins. Wasn't allowed to tell any one apart from immediate family who might visit. Otherwise had to deter any visitors. They parked a 10 min walk away and arrived dressed as builders. They said that if it ever went to court our address would never be given out. The observation has to be within a certain distance and angle to be permissible in court as evidence.

I have never had armed police smash down the door of a toilet when I've been drinking whisky in there.
On the other hand, I don't usually lock the door.
