    Shady's most likely had a flagon of that at a pop-up craft ale festival in Camden (and ridden his fixie home afterwards while intoxicated, the rascal...).

    Home to Sheffield? Well, he'll be sober by the time he gets there.

    Possibly. Was more referring to his time in the Smoke. Deep saaf, wasn't he?

    I've a question. I'm slightly hesitant that this is going to make me look like an ignorant elderly Reform voter but I do genuinely need to ask as I can't find an answer online. I recieved a marketing email this morning. In the guys email footer, he'd written the following.

    "Regards,
    First Name, Surname (He/Him) O+"

    What's the O+ about? Surely he's not telling me his blood type?

    Talking of "wokism" (I don't think this is, but it would probably be branded so if the Mail or Express had some space to fill). Bought Cluedo as a Christmas present and didn't realise some of the characters have been changed. We now have Chef White, Solicitor Peacock and Mayor Green (alongside Miss Scarlett, Prof Plum and Colonel Mustard)..

    I don't know about woke but "chef" and "solicitor" aren't titles that are used as honorifics (certainly not in the UK, Americans seem to love to refer to Gordon Ramsay as "Chef Ramsay"), so they don't make much sense.

    Presumably the (perceived) issue was that none of the woman were referred to as professionals, while all the men were.

    A chef? A white-hatted ponce? That's not a real profession.

    Due to a typo almost signed off an invoice email with "Retards, Karl Mark". Fortunately I noticed prior to sending.

    I sent a letter to someone last month with regards to their employment as "After School Ass". Our database doesn't offer enough characters for Assistant.

    Presumably this is a top public school?

    I'm not at all convinced this is genuine, given that I've never owned a running watch which has tracked routes which that level of precision.

    If it is, that must have been a hell of a lot of mundane runs - Russ may recognise that area of downtown T'rono.

    If it is for real, I doff my cap to this guy.

    Got my first match in the snooker league tomorrow night. Went to have a game for some practice this evening and someone has left a massive tear in the cloth on the table I'm supposed to be playing on. I did ask if we could treat it like ground under repair in golf and move the white ball.
    We're moving to a different table.

    Was looking for my box of usb memory sticks. Found a pair of football boots and some washing line pegs.
