When people can't decide if they are TAed with new accounts or if they want to thank them ;-)

Racking my brains about a gift for sibling, impossible to buy for and says he doesn't want anything.

New Tesco locally (atm hes unwell and as clingy as a toddler) so I figured I would pop in there while I was alone and get a voucher.

No vouchers 😡

Street light outside didn't come on last night. All the other street lights were on.
So I reported it.

I was out for much of the day, back now - street light is working.

TA I don't know if the street light was actually fixed or not or if it was just an intermittent thing.
The ticket I logged hasn't been updated.

Online Voucher for restaurant he likes or failing that Ryanair vouchers are always a good idea if you are stuck!

Buy him some sweeties, toddlers like sweeties. He can't be bothered, you can't be fussing, job done.

When somebody gets through on the Chase, they never reveal if the chaser got the last answer correct.

It would more than TA me if I got Ryanair vouchers for Christmas or any time!

Ditto. I only fly with them under duress and if there really isn't any other option. Close second to Ryanair is Lufthansa.

There's a German TV programme (action/police investigation stuff) called Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei. I don't know how much their budget is for cars and explosives, but it probably surpasses the GDP of a small country. Every time I come across it they are showing a massive pile-up on the motorway, followed by explosions that wouldn't be out of place in a fire services training video. It seems there's at least one major accident in every episode, cars flying, etc. I swear the whole thing must've been thought up by a 12-y.o.kid.

Wore a santa suit to work today as it was festive gift funny jumper day, tralala and stuff.

Suit weighed about 100 grams max including beard, lovely and light to go over my human clothes.

I've no idea what it was made of but bloody hell, you could walk to the Antarctic wearing only that and be perfectly fine. My body temperature must have reached 500 degrees at one point. Melty santa says hohobleurgh.

Also, haven't been on linked in in ages, logged in today and it seems to have become Rip.ie, every second post announcing a death. Sympathy all round of course but is it normal to post a notice there that your granny has passed away?

Sweaty santa doom scrolling death notices kinda day.
