Have they all come to have a gander at Joan's dodgy wiring?
This is interesting.

It's the key selling point.
Man, last night at the proms looks fun. I want to take an airhorn.

Yes, it was okay. There was a song called Johnny which was a bit dull, but the following song called Jenny was most amusing ("Jenny finally got a husband, it's a shame it wasn't hers").
My place of work employs about 35 people... Since January, we've had 16 people leave with the majority being replaced.
That's a lot isn't it?
That's a lot isn't it?
It's an insane amount
Near on 50% staff turnover in 9 months? Yes. That's a lot. Unless you employ casual workers.

Nope. The majority have been wearing shirts and ties.
That's a dreadful turnover. For skilled workers about 10-15% is normal.
When I first started at my current place (contractor accountants) the average tenure of accountancy staff was 3 months. So staff turnover was in excess of 100% per year.
This was mainly down to £500 training budget (that doesn't get you much for accountancy training and that was the cap, not per year), shitty systems, completely wrong clients (social workers as limited companies) and a fundamental misunderstanding of how to sell ("Don't you worry, your accountant will do *everything* for you, you just rake in the free extra cash").
We're up to 18 months to 2 years tenure now...just as the market has started to die on its arse.

I've just seen an old friend who I haven't seen for about ten years. The last time I saw him, he was sitting on a stool on the edge of a bar.
Today, he was sitting on the same stool on the edge of the same bar. How things have changed!

That's a pretty impressive balancing act though, even if you have seen it before.

I think it is just the slowest day in history, in real life as well. It felt like it should be 5:30 when it was about 1:15pm.
The forum just gave me sass because I was 'previewing Giphy', simply because I was posting at the same time as Davpaz.

It's a Hungarian Komondor, ironically a bit of a ferocious beast in my experience.
It might look like a 65kg mophead but it kills wolves, and is wilfully independent - far more so than the 'normal' dogs we're used to seeing in the UK, whose bloodlines have been endlessly sanitized over the centuries. I don't think the Hungarians received that memo.
I wonder if it's the same as the dog with dreadlocks that I used to see at the park? That didn't look vary ferocious, and I'm sure far too small to fight a wolf, so perhaps a different dog. I would like a dog like Dougal
Miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow

That was probably a Hungarian Puli, which is effectively a miniature Komondor albeit quite different in temperament; the Puli is a feisty but very jolly little chap, a real extrovert. Most amusing companions, and great with kids.
I love 'em, they're hilarious little doggies.
Otherwise unexciting article about the government's wine cellar ends with a rather amusing titbit:
I rather like the idea of a group of civil servants dashing over to the embassy the second war was declared to grab the best pickings. Are we going to declare war on France and Chile soon?

After the outbreak of World War Two, wines from the German Embassy were requisitioned and added to the government's cellar stock.

I couldn't sit through the whole video - she was just too annoying. I do find that with YouTube stuff though - maybe I'm just getting older and grumpier. Even stuff like this which has content I would find interesting -
is ruined by the delivery style.
I struggled with Guru Larry for a while but stick with him, he's not as annoying as he could be and he does put out some interesting videos.
I downloaded a very well known first year physics degree text book as I wanted to get a taster of it, as I'm considering doing an OU degree in physics. Within a few pages I rapidly realised I needed to refresh my A level calculus knowledge ( I got A in Physics and Maths A level, yo), so I've downloaded some stuff to re-learn it - and my god I must have been a clever 18 year old. This shit is complicated.
