I opened my phones browser in work to test a config change to an API, and it opened on xvideos. I moved pretty quickly but pretty sure the guy beside me spotted it. He kept quiet though. Good man.

He's in the smoking area taking the piss out of you for using xvideos. He's an xhamster guy and quite frankly I'm on his side.

Weird one but our local chemist shuts for an hour for lunch. It’s probably right that it does, just it just feels very antiquated in today’s world.

I’m probably only bothered because going to the chemist is the type of thing you do on your own lunch hour and it not being open inconveniences me, which frankly is just not on.

I wonder if Wednesday half day closing still goes on somewhere, pretty sure it does.

I think it still does in the Old Town part of Runcorn in one or two places. Not surprising really as they still get excited about having electricity.

Haha. I think nearly all the shops did years ago, it would seem weird these days though it wouldn't bother me.

I was just perusing the Internet on my phone as you do and stumbled across some big titty birds twitter feed had a look, closed it and forgot about it. Got in my car to go out with the missus and the fucking twitter name and post came on the screen where usually a radio station or song track shows, luckily I hit the dab button  with amazing speed and my missus didn't notice. Technology is a dangerous affair 

A bird i used work with sent me a picture of her in a low cut top saying"is this too slutty for instagramme" I was mirroring my phone to the TV at the time so WhatsApp popped up. Luckily our takeaway arrived at the door at same time so the mrs was distracted.

Not sure on that one. Good for the staff to get a longer weekend though.

Oh yeah no problem there, my Monday morning Times is an, absolute must, all the weekends footy write ups and all the that, not to mention the days racecard. 

I usually get about 3 papers on a Monday. 

On a Monday, that's a good Ry Cooder track.

Large, profitable companies imposing ninety day payment terms on small business owners because “it’s their policy”. 
 

Usually we’re talking about amounts of money that make fuck all difference to them but, particularly in the current climate, are much needed by said small business owner. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

You should only worry about small business if people want the minimum wage increased because that effects big business too.

Although I take your point, I’m not sure an increase in the minimum wage is the only thing small business owners should worry about just now.

I mean how small business is used as a tool pull on your conscience when needed but then left to be fucked over in almost every other circumstances be it big business having huge tax advantages or monopolising markets to force suppliers to sell their product for next to no profit or they will kill the business with aggressive tactics.

Ah, yes. I totally agree, misinterpreted your original response. The ‘lifeblood of the economy’ when it suits but get shafted to high heaven if big business clicks its grubby fingers.

Expect covid to be used to further big businesses grip on the market at the expense of the smaller ones.

Sometime around Bruce finishing work yesterday this conversation happened. We’ll refer to the other person in this conversation as ‘Her’ to protect the guilty.

 

B ‘Have we got everything WE need for the weekend so we can bunker down and don’t need to leave?’

 

H ‘Yes’

 

B ‘You sure. I’m calling at the shops anyway and can pick up anything WE need?’

 

H ‘It’s fine I got everything WE needed yesterday’

 

 

Fast forward to this morning...

 

B ‘where’s the coffee?’

 

H ‘is there none, I don’t drink it so I don’t know ?’

 

B ‘No, is there any bread?’

 

H ‘You know I’m off carbs’

 

B ‘so no coffee, no bread and by the looks of no a fucking thing for me to eat or drink at all?’

 

H ‘we’ve got smoked salmon’ 

 

B ‘Get your clothes on and get to the fucking shops’ 

 

The little thing that annoys me? 
 

Consideration, it doesn’t cost a thing.

 

Now I’m hungry and coffeeless through lack of consideration.

 

Shameful scenes.

You should have learned by now to never trust females with shopping.

 

You can ask them to buy one item and they'll still forget it.

I’d have polished off the smoked salmon before posting on here, though.

I don’t like smoked salmon and she’s well aware of this.
 

I had Pringles and a cup of tea for breakfast, I’m fucking livid. Saturday is the day for a languorous breakfast which stretches long into the morning, not snaffling a handful of Pringles and a cup of PG.

 

There will be repercussions for this, of this be in no doubt!

Wise words, heeded my good man.

 

I’ll plot a new course.
