Why do the couple meeting in a cafe in the Fixodent advert give me the creeps?
People sat at home on Christmas Day actively posting on here, makes not sense to me at all. At least I've got the excuse of being stuck at work.
Why I have to cook Xmas dinner at my sister’s house when she has 1.5 ovens, barely enough space to roast spuds for 7, an entire oven tray of pigs in blankets, another of rissoles, then the parsnips, carrots, and sprouts. Had to make a makeshift lower shelf from tin foil in each to increase capacity.
Once every 2 years, as alternate Xmas day between wife’s family & mine, so not as though I can even build some muscle memory in the process.
How people can knock out a roast in a single oven amazes me, fair play to them, I’m seriously impressed, beyond question.
I’m guessing 50 pigs taking up 1 shelf is excessive, but it’s our favourite part & we graze on them after dinner whenever someone is in the kitchen. Equally the hob filled with even more veg as my folks love red cabbage & a swede-carrot puree, green beans and peas, plus gravy and a red wine jus.
I’d have killed for my 2 ovens, 2 eggs & 6 spot induction for the extra space and sanity!
A lot of things I won’t understand about Xmas cooking. Roll on NYE when it’s just the 2 of us and cooking a surf & turf of tiger prawns & a lovely Heritage Angus picanha on the egg; left over beef for a couple of days afterwards given the weight of it!

Ikea. Spent a week there on Saturday.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
1. Why there is a need for 'International Hot and Spicy Food Day'. (Today apparently)
2. Why my PC needs to tell me about it.
3. Who comes up with this utter guff?
A surprise was learning there is international coffee day.
The Swedish lessons on the labels were most interesting. Had a look at a hultarp and a tittebo as well as a handy looking enkelsparig.
Tried some of the furniture, but it mostly seemed to be designed for hobbits, it was that low to the floor. Still it was fun trying to get up afterwards. How we skrattade.

Don’t forget the regional weekly Salesforce closed won report so they can go in, edit the opportunity, attach a marketing campaign youve never heard of to closed won new business deals and give themselves high fives when showing leadership £X / Y% of new business deals came directly as a result of the marketing teams hard work.
Great marketing is almost priceless, everybody of a certain age remembers the Smash adverts or that Heineken is probably the best lager in the world and let’s not forget, it’s marketing that makes most of the population think that Rolex make the best watches in the world!
There’s a difference between seriously good and well executed marketing campaigns for global brands like Nike, Heineken, and that car advert years back with no sound and general B2B generic office job marketing.
I’ll all for a great marketing team supplying warm leads and building brand/product awareness of what I’m trying to sell, but not of teams who spend 40% of their time talking about wine and another 40% on the latest team tinder story this week, then popping over to the sales team on a Thursday for 3 minutes of small talk, a well done for closing a deal, then letting you know they can see the decision maker/company in Oracle as a marketing lead but the Salesforce integration doesn’t seem to be working so can you please edit the opportunity to tag is as a marketing lead please?
Yeah sure, pop me a screenshot from oracle with a date stamp and I’ll edit the opportunity. Never had a screenshot sent over yet at any company I’ve ever worked.
Why (in this day and age) I still need to scrub my brand new air-fryer with white spirit to get the sticky label gunge off the thing before I can use it.

I use either a cycle lane or the pavement. However, I give full priority to pedestrians when cycling on the pavement (and the cycle lane which pedestrians use). What strikes me is the inability of pedestrians to walk in a fairly straight line. These are the sober ones as well.
My patience is often rewarded with the pedestrians giving me way, with a smile and a thank you. Perhaps it’s me or more likely the Brompton that is the reason.
Now while I exercise full patience with pedestrians, the food delivering electric-bike riding delivery people simply do not care. They blast around on the pavements and take corners without slowing down and thinking who might be approaching from around the corner.

When even Sale prices make you think the watches are still way too expensive!
Just highlights how ridiculous retail prices are nowadays!
Football. All of it, it’s like I’m allergic to sports (watching as opposed to playing) in general, but the fascination with Football absolutely baffles me. I appear to be alone as now nearly every woman also seems entranced watching people run about kicking a ball on grass until eventually a goal happens. And then people talk about it incessantly like it means something. Eh?
