Lunch costings:
- two mini chicken & lamb kebabs from a pack of 4, £2.50 on the selected meat 2 for £5 offer at the Co-op = £1.25
- two Waitrose tomato arancini, £4 for 6, normally too expensive but left over after a vegetarian dinner = £1.33
- one slice of Jarlsberg cheese from a packet of ten slices for £2.25 = £0.23
- one sliced tomato from a sixpack for £0.69 = £0.12
- half a bottle of Krombacher Pils (split one with Preferred Mammal) for £1.99 = £1.00
- two slices of bread. Can't remember what I paid for the loaf or how many slices I got out of it. Let it go, Tent Hen, let it go.
£3.93, with the bread £4.
I take it that this itemised bill will result in speedy reimbursement by Admin.

Why don't you just use the luncheon and wine vouchers Admin sends to us? They're much more generous than what you're trying to reclaim, and it saves on the hastle of putting in a claim.

I don't think people should let Shenguin bully them over lunch costs. He's almost certainly planning to sell the info on to advertisers / secret police.

Wait, so Mr Tiddles isn't the only snitch around here? I should have known. Frankly, I could do with more personalised ads. At the moment Lloyds Pharmacy is offering me again free hair loss assessment. I'd be more interested in ads for Jarlsberg cheese. |

It's no hastle at all. If your expense claim results in hastle you are doing it wrong as there's no such thing. Do you not remember how Boxers took advantage of the wasteful, uncosted and, frankly, unsustainable free lunch and booze offer of Keef's Chatterbox? How this resulted in closure of the whole enterprise when the Guardian finally worked out what was going on? There's no such thing as a free lunch. |

I'm afraid I have report I ended up paying £7 for my lunch. A chicken ciabbata and a coffee in a local arts centre. I had to get here for 2pm and didn't have time to hang about and make my lunch. I'll have that tomorrow. 4*'s

I was roughly £3 for lunch. £1.50 for a posh pot noodle thing and about the same again for some mussels.

Photos of yourself in outlook work emails - yes or no? It's about a 50/50 split where I work at the moment.

Do they really charge more for non-physical games? Why on earth do they do this? Wept the man who realised he'd been buying games wrong. If I want a game at launch, I'll usually set up an alert on hotukdeals and get a preorder in cheap. Then when I'm done with the game, sell it on ebay. Often for a small profit. |

I'm still going digital, got enough cases cluttering up the place and I hate getting up from the sofa. I've never sold a video game on either. |

I just give away my old games systems and all the games to charity when I'm done with them. I gave my Xbox and all the games to the hospital that saved my life.
I know, I'm a monster.

Or eat them separately? I can't get my head around this situation. It's those 'naked noodle' pots. I like to pretend they're slightly better than pot noodles. The mussels were separate,it takes more than a playable advertisement in FFXV to influence me. Probably not much more, mind. |

When I'm finished with a game, I just put it back in the case, set fire to it, and post it through my neighbours letterbox.
You know, like a normal person.

When the battery runs out on my PlayStation controller I just throw it in the bin and order a new one from John Lewis.

Are they actual photos in the footer or are they part of your user profile in outlook or whatever you use? Actual here's what I look like at the bottom? Christ.
The nonsense I have to put in the footer is bad enough. Bragging rights about some award we won in 2016. It's nearly 2019, when can I delete that shit.

When my previous work made it mandatory to include a photo, a number of people decided to sort of protest by all using the same photo. Of Jimmy Carr.
You really had to be there.

Next-gen industry gong boasting from crankcaller there. Cap doffed. |

Lots of men with families and no time over on the red dead article regretting their life choices.
