Critic. Atheist. Apostate. Elvis wannabe. I have high principles and a moral code but until I work out what the hell it is, I will spend time mocking yours.

The only time i think it helps to be in an office is when you are learning and can just overhear how others deal with a problem or ask.

My software guys work better from a beach than in an office.
I can't because I hate laptops, but I have a perfect three-screen setup at home.

I have been involved with 20 or so companies.
Some wouldn't work with homeworking, some could, and some are better with it.
It should be up to the employer and the employee to decide.

sad cannon fodder for a few dollars to the glorious leader.

Running abroad is a stupid thing to do.
You carry on as usual and sell the stuff on the side.
Crossing borders will get the police interested, and you might not know a fence anywhere outside Paris.

what the world is going to end again?
I missed the last dozen apocalypses.
Best of luck with the cash.

I would add the USA to that list.
No deal or security arrangement with them is worth the paper it is written on these days.
Nobody is ever going to rely on them ever again.

That's great, but probably not appropriate for a book on architecture.

Posicles don't exist. (Horrible american concept)
It is either an icecream or a lolly.
Lollies have sticks and no ice cream.

you have to do a 4 to one block system.
Four one way and then four the other to stack. anything else would be unstable.
So your basic wall should be just under 6ft thick.

He just likes civilisation.
It isnt all mad max like the USA wants the world to be.

They dont have to do this. Its an island where people go on holiday. It is political theatre.

2) there is a world without a god.
3)if there is a world without a god then god is not omnipresent.
4) God is omnipresent by definition
5) Therefore, no god.

Just an idea but...
How about using caddisflies to clear up microplastics?

If you have to put gravy on something to make it edible, then you have a problem...and you have a problem.

How sweet to be an idiot. As Neil Innes once sang.
or are you coping for being so miserable most of the time?

Why do they have to bug it?
They just have to phone Trump and ask.

I know you want to say it, but chocolate and strawberry are girl-only flavours.
Try making basil ice cream. It works beautifully.

And America: what the f is cookie dough and why?

Stop the idiots burning Teslas. They get the money back in insurance and it counts as a sale.
Just mock them. MAGA are thin-skinned.

The wealthy do get taxed. just not a wealth tax because they don't work and are counterproductive.

We have a gasometer that looked promising once.

I have never been a fan of Starmer but he is doing a decent job here. It's a tricky situation but he seems to be walking the line well. I just hope the Europeans can do something.
It is easier to negotiate from a position of strength, and the fat orange monkey has made it one-sided.

point of order squire.
We the Brits like our King.
Its called selective breeding. It takes generations.
Just electing one is dumb.

The problems with trade are only on 5% of products. Just get an agreement on those and then come back and have discussions about the final few.
We don't have to have these giant agreements covering all trade.

Congratulations.
but just remember all those qualifications don't beat what someone once saw on tiktok in some minds.

I have seen that so often. Trying to get our team out the door with 95% of what we want and some idiot keeps pushing for their small pet extra until the other side is pissed off.
