I'm with this guy which is why I watched when I had my vasectomy.

I was at a family function this afternoon and it was good to catch up with everyone on various limbs of my family tree again after so many years.

I was talking to the wife of a cousin who told me how she remembered me when I was very small:

"You came up to me, Kern, with your 'Body Book' open and said 'Hello Mrs Penis!'"

2 questions:

Which cousin?
What party?

I think it was the late Carrie Fisher who said the two saddest words in the English language are "what party?".

My appetite for being at work today is at an all time low. I'm looking around and thinking to myself "I don't like any of these people"

I've also left my Switch at home so there's no Mario Kart at lunch time.

There's the Merry Hill shopping centre close by and a canal that I can walk around. I'll probably just end up in my car listening to you and yours though....

Happy Birthday Zardoz!

I saw my first "fidget spinner" on Saturday. Fads are stupid*.

*unless it's something I like.

TheVision · **Posted:** Mon May 08, 2017 10:34

I saw a kid with a fidget spinner the other day too. It was in the shape of the Bat symbol.

I want one.

Find a motorbike shop selling Ducatis. Walk in and say "Hey, show me that Ducati Scrambler cafe racer". Look at it. Say "it is MaliCool". Leave.

The Grimlet has the "clicker" one to help him concentrate (which is what the spinner things were originally for).

Now everyone has one, so he can't use it at school any more. Le sigh.

Aye. My nephew is autistic and is having a similar problem (though apparently the school is very understanding and lets him still have things like that).

I'd imagine the school would let the Grimlet keep his too, but it's not exactly fair to the other kids.

I had no idea what they were but seeing as I have a 3D printer and some old skateboard bearings I made one to see what it's all about. I dunno perhaps it would be a bit better with new bearings but I'm not seeing the appeal.

They're weirdly addictive. Maybe it'll lose some appeal now I've got a phone in my hand now though.

I have a job interview on Thursday... not sure if I want it

GazChap · **Posted:** Mon May 08, 2017 13:21

The interview, or the job?

KovacsC · **Posted:** Mon May 08, 2017 13:56

Both..

It is a big jump in Salary, but it Coventry.

Interview is a 10 min Tech Interview, 10 Min Personal Interview and a 20 min presentation

Shortly after posting this, TheVision saw an opportunity, opened the window, and jumped onto a passing narrowboat. After his dramatic escape at three miles per hour, we did not hear from him for months.

I have inspected the images and cannot work out why they are getting a computed width of over 4000px when the max-width is set to 100% all the way up the chain back to pagecontent.

Just tried it and it does the same for me too. It seems similar to this bug which although refers to flex, has the same result. Unhelpfully, it says the bug has been fixed in Edge; not sure if that means it won't get fixed in IE 11.
