Whenever one of my closest friends (early 30s) needs help it’s like helping my grandparents.

His motor mouth doesn’t stop running but he’s hardly a picture of health and he’s getting on in years.

Was so incredibly obviously satire as well 🙄

Oh no, if there’s one thing I hate it’s value for money!

I tried to have a discussion about this on reddit about how everyone should just use utc and he called me a lunatic because his working day would start at 3am instead of 8am, completely misunderstanding that utc 3am would be a different time to his current 3am and he just could not get his little head around it.

It was the Lonsdale slip ons that made me realise it was Polish.

Depends where you live but unsolicited goods acts will often let you keep stuff in this way.

Amusing? No. Dismay is more I’d say. It’s reverberated across the pond here and our politicians have been doing very similar stuff and getting away with it.

From the outside the whole thing seemed to be an absolute circus act. People getting increasingly polarised, constant (pretty much daily) news about something fucking stupid he’s either said, done or something disgusting one of his cronies had been involved in.

We’ve had these in the UK for a long time, mainly to stop people carting shopping home using the trolley and then abandoning it.

I think it depends on the company, I work at a software company and you’ll regularly see the big boss playing pool with staff at random times of the day. A bit of non work time during the work day can help the brain come up with solutions to problems.
