Someone brought some Krispy Kreme in today to celebrate their birthday. I've just watched a girl in the office cut a quarter off one of the ring doughnuts to eat. A quarter... A measly quarter. What's the point? |

I tried to play Hawken online last night on my Xbox One. When it asked me to chose a region, the choices were Asia, Africa, Europe,North and South America, Australia and Antarctica. So I promptly had to turn my Xbox off and do something else. |

Mysterious Chinese tourists are the most interesting thing to have appeared in Kidlington in years, apparently. |

Coincidentally, I just passed some Chinese tourists taking selfies in the sunken roundabout/subway near me. Admittedly, it's a nice garden thing in the middle, when people aren't flinging their cars into it, but there have to be nicer things around here to look at it. |

One of our colleagues in India often links to 'funny' pages on Facebook. One she has linked to today is a post from a page called 'be like bro'. I've been reading it for 20 minutes, because though it's in English, the humour in the jokes really doesn't travel well, and therefore it is fascinating. |

So we've started on the garden and I've come across something I have seen before. Some googling suggests it could be a fungus, but I can't find a picture that looks the same. I'm not touching it in case an alien pops out or something.  Any ideas folks?

Someone had left 45p in the vending machine at work. As this was obviously an honesty test, I paid for my mars bar (the chocolate flapjack I coveted was not working, again) and left that amount in the change dispenser. |
