People brought sweets and cookies into work. I may have overeaten as I now feel a bit dodgy. At my place this is, slowly but surely, being replaced by people bringing in fruit. FFS what is wrong with that lot? |

Following on from this morning's murderchat, a number of people in my office have started saying "Fri-yay" Fucking hell. |

An union European, please. This has really shaken me, I always thought any vowel at the start meant an an was in order. A urologist, an urgent request. A (very) unique flavour, an unctuous flavour. Is there an h word thats an an? An hotel? If hotel was pronounced without its initial letter ‘h’ (i.e. as if it were spelled ‘otel’), then it would be correct to use 'an' in front of it. The same is true of historic and horrific. If horrific was pronounced ‘orrific’ and historic was pronounced ‘istoric’ then it would be appropriate to refer to ‘an istoric occasion’ or ‘an orrific accident’. In the 18th and 19th centuries, people often did pronounce these words in this way. Today, though, these three words are generally pronounced with a spoken ‘h’ at the beginning and so it’s now more logical to refer to ‘a hotel’, ‘a historic event’, or ‘a horrific accident’. But you don't have to take my word for it. Take the word of the random website I just pasted that off. |

I didn’t realise this was a link. I just thought you’d come steaming in, shouting nonsense. Rather a shame. |

The trick is to stare back blankly at them, like what they have said makes no sense whatsoever (which if you think about it it doesn't). The longer the awkward pause the better. |

I used to work in a place where managers would walk up to me and ask "are you winning?". I might start using a variation of that. "have you lost yet?" |

... or rather the lack of. So, mangy prats have to take their porridge off the menu because the world is running out of coconuts? Well, it was either that or the red quinoa HOW DOES THIS EVEN DESERVE THE NAME PORRIDGE? I should have invested in coconuts. |

Listen and understand! He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead! |

An for hotel, horrific, etc is your choice, but it looks a little affected.
One can definitely ride an 'orse, I'm certain of that.

Not that so much as that everyone who drank in the Halfway House from about 1990 onwards might appear. There is already a suspiciously high number. |

I've just got the ad for erectile dysfunction for the first time. So Lloyds pharmacy reckons that hair loss would become a problem for me before erectile dysfunction. They are not wrong.

Just had fajitas for dinner.
Lovely lovely fajitas.
What's everyone else having?
My daughter is insisting that the audiologist that came to do a talk in school about ears is in fact an archaeologist.
