I'm picturing it being something similar to Borat, but it ends in us getting nuked.

Any article that makes me agree with Dermot O'Leary is most unwelcome.

The three wise men wanting to visit North Korea under the belief they are prominent politicians. The IA must realise they're a complete and utter laughing stock after this.

It's like being a fun NFL player to watch is a curse.

Luck, David Johnson, Edelman, Rodgers, JJ Watt and now Deshaun Watson injured.

When it’s damp, do four puffs of the Farah Fawcett spray.

I watched the whole series over the weekend. Really enjoyed it. Thought there were some parts that were definitely weaker than others, but when it was good it was really very good.

I may have set one up, in your honour so to speak

I dunno. The American tech sector is a very, very odd place. I'd say this might be a real sales approach.

Some CB Insights guy (who was new) endorsed every major skill I have on my LinkedIn profile after cold adding me. Not as weird as liking my back catalogue of tweets though.

On a less serious note my oh has discovered Netflix and Chromecast

He's into call the midwife and true crime. Any recommendations?

Stranger Things
Trapped

Most enjoyable 2 series I watched on Netflix in the last 12 months or so.

For a laugh, Master of None is light relief.

Yes, with all the benefits attached.

You might want to stop into the shop on the way home and pick up some bleach and polish.

Never spoken to the chap, outside of one email!

Then that's odd. If he was trying to find things to engage with you on then he wouldn't be liking all the tweets, he'd just be reading them. And that kind of social media stalking is completely normal these days. But liking the tweets is that extra step that nobody does. Unless they're in their 60s and have no idea what the rules are.

There's something about me that not a lot of people on here know, and that is that I have an absolutely massive ego.

But here's an odd one that's happened to me today that has left me puzzled. A potential supplier of mine followed me on twitter. Then went back through a bunch of tweets, which really don't have anything to do with what I do for a living (because I work in tech, but I tweet about sports and politics) and liked a bunch of them.

Now maybe this is only noticeable to people like me who rarely say anything of interest and so actually get notified when their tweets are liked, but is that not a bit strange? Is that how sales has gone these days? Or is this a rarity.

It could be as innocent as something like he followed you and started browsing down through the tweets and found them interesting or amusing and just absentmindedly liked a bunch of them.

But knowing what I do about your opinions and humour I'd say he is much more likely looking to rusty trombone your ass.

It also sounds a bit like the LinkedIn recruiter spam tactic. Throw enough ****e around to get someones attention. Sounds pretty unprofessional anyway. I retract my previous statement and would avoid working with them.

Seems like a strange sales tactic, but they might be looking for conversation starters to make it easier for them to engage with you pre-sales pitch in the future. I wouldn't worry about it much.
