Mundane Moments

Because if you wanted a coffee with milk you'd order a coffee with milk?

Precisely. For some reason, Brits expect milk as an option. I'll have to actually order flat whites for the next fortnight.

Our turn for protesters today. 100 XR people outside. A "die in" and music and stuff.

There's a lazy Notts gag in here somewhere.

Maybe they’re German and just looking for The Inn?

Nobody who speaks German could be evil.

Tell anyone to fuck off or that they are weird in the head?

A woman glued her hand to a window of our building apparently. For reasons I don't understand this created a massive hoohaa of cordons and closures etc. She wasn't in the way of anything so unsure why she wasnt just left alone.

The Bart, The.

Nope. Actually had a nice chat with one of them. Then ate a sandwich while they performed some strange rip-off of Thriller dressed as zombies.

Jim is likely their inside man.

I'd need more info on what was in the sandwich to be sure but at first reading that sounds like a terrible lunch time.

Depends. Were any of them fit, Jim?

Mostly retirement age tbh. Terrible dancing too.

Passed your building earlier @JRs_Cigarette - where you there? Mega locked down. Couldn't get within 10 yards.

@Ingo - Coronation chicken.

In other news, I'd had enough of work at 5pm, but my train home isn't until 8pm, so I'm doing a solo pub crawl to KX. Currently on 3rd pint. The Lucas on Cromer Street.

No fucking way. Apparently there weren't any queues to get in this morning which I think is due to everyone thinking fuck this I'm WFH.

Head of building security came up to personally apologise this morning. They had initially been defensive on the points we raised, now change tack to be accepting and apologetic. I'd be sacking the guy if I was them. Most days security involves telling tourists heading to the Sky Garden they need to go round the back to a separate entrance. The one day this year with advance notice of potential real security issues and he fucks it.

Does sound like they made a mess of it. When it's expected or happening at ours there's some additional security and barriers, but we just flash our security card and we're in. Very small queues. Minor inconvenience

A few years back we had that French Spiderman with the long hair, free climb our building, that also caused a bit of hoohaa.
