I've been embracing ChatGPT a lot more lately. It worked wonders on making a board report more professional and I also used it to smarten up my job description - I'm now "spearheading" tasks. Tons of...

Merry Christmas everybody.

I've been debating the top 5 Christmas movies today. Here are mine in no particular order:

Elf
Muppet Christmas Carol
Home Alone
Die Hard (yeah, I know)
Planes,...

Fantastic news! Will you need to relocate?

Definitely this. I did a lot of this kind of thinking when we were out of water 3-4 times in the space of a few months fairly recently. I'd never thought about how fantastic it is to have clean,...

Gary O'Reilly: turns out he's an ex-professional footballer. Born and raised in London, so you're not far off. The town I grew up in is a lot like the London accent, with some added in-bred.

Ong,...

What's the dude's name, Monk? I'm from a South Coast city, so it's southern - not posh, not rough.

I would have no chance at placing your accent. If it's no from the South, I've got no chance. To...

I can't believe you don't have some procedures for certain medical issues, Ong. I suppose if somebody dies in their room, you call the manager in and the daytime cleaner would most likely be the...

I thought of you recently, Ong, as my uncle had a cardiac arrest in an Ibis when visiting his family and died. My cousin knew something was up and the staff opened the door to the room and were...

Wow, that's way more than I was expecting and it definitely had me salivating. Thanks!

I'm going to Chicago Cubs against St Louis Cardinals in London on Saturday. Apparently there will be Chicago- and St Louis-style food available. @Monkey - what is that likely to be please? Just...

Your friend is rare for a taxi driver. It would have been an easy 150 quid for any of the taxi drivers sat around doing nothing on Weds (if they just had a child seat). It's pretty standard in Europe...

Friend of mine came back to the UK from the Middle East a few months back and drove me to the North. I was shit up quite a few times as he drove very close to the left in the middle lane of the...

Haha. "That'll do" is right up there on the British approach to life.

Ah, the good kind of flashing. I thought you meant the local weirdo in a trench coat. I was referring to the Sarah Everard killer, whose flashing incidents were not properly dealt with.

Shout out to Monkey for sending me an ornament of the St Louis arch. I like it a lot and it led to a good conversation with Mrs Bean about the famous court cases related to US civil rights. Thank you...

What did you say to them? Did you report it? As we've been reading recently, that kind of thing can be the starting point for other things.

BG is notoriously terrible at data and IT. I've twice called them when moving into a new place and been told the account isn't with them, despite there being several bill reminders from them in the...

Sounds like you are with NPower, British Gas or EON. In any case, it should be obvious from your bill what period and usage you are paying for. Normally when you get a bill for a few days, it's to...

Class act and somebody that figured out a ton of things before anybody else. Super System changed the way people played the game amd still able to compete to ahigh standard in his eighties. I'd love...

Huge whale at cash, very effective at tournaments, especially when the fields are big and filled with recs.

His tantrums are always fun to watch.

I'm with you on the eating. Not bothered about the massage. The odd time I've played live for hours on consecutive days, I definitely could have done with a massage.

I'm also a big fan of Jungle....

Shout out to Galfond.

Sales tax. 20% on most items barring anything deemed as essential. Any prices you see advertised will already include VAT, which is much better imo than the US.

I should be able to meet you for a bite to eat and drink after work on the Friday evening, Monkey, if that works for your timetable. I go into the office 1-2 days per week. I'll also add to your long...

Monkey, when are you visiting?

Anything in particular you like doing and any dietary requirements?
