People sat at home on Christmas Day actively posting on here, makes not sense to me at all. At least I've got the excuse of being stuck at work.
You should take a look at women's jeans or, more accurately, the front pockets; they're nowhere near as deep as the front pockets of men's jeans. This is why women are forced to do this if wearing jeans.Quote:

Had to make a makeshift lower shelf from tin foil in each to increase capacity.
Once every 2 years, as alternate Xmas day between wife’s family & mine, so not as though I can even build some muscle memory in the process.
How people can knock out a roast in a single oven amazes me, fair play to them, I’m seriously impressed, beyond question.
I’m guessing 50 pigs taking up 1 shelf is excessive, but it’s our favourite part & we graze on them after dinner whenever someone is in the kitchen. Equally the hob filled with even more veg as my folks love red cabbage & a swede-carrot puree, green beans and peas, plus gravy and a red wine jus.
I’d have killed for my 2 ovens, 2 eggs & 6 spot induction for the extra space and sanity!
A lot of things I won’t understand about Xmas cooking. Roll on NYE when it’s just the 2 of us and cooking a surf & turf of tiger prawns & a lovely Heritage Angus picanha on the egg; left over beef for a couple of days afterwards given the weight of it!

I do quite often, but never noticed the depth of the front pockets tbh.Quote:

A surprise was learning there is international coffee day.
The Swedish lessons on the labels were most interesting. Had a look at a hultarp and a tittebo as well as a handy looking enkelsparig.Quote:

Don’t forget the regional weekly Salesforce closed won report so they can go in, edit the opportunity, attach a marketing campaign youve never heard of to closed won new business deals and give themselves high fives when showing leadership £X / Y% of new business deals came directly as a result of the marketing teams hard work.Quote:

There’s a difference between seriously good and well executed marketing campaigns for global brands like Nike, Heineken, and that car advert years back with no sound and general B2B generic office job marketing.
I’ll all for a great marketing team supplying warm leads and building brand/product awareness of what I’m trying to sell, but not of teams who spend 40% of their time talking about wine and another 40% on the latest team tinder story this week, then popping over to the sales team on a Thursday for 3 minutes of small talk, a well done for closing a deal, then letting you know they can see the decision maker/company in Oracle as a marketing lead but the Salesforce integration doesn’t seem to be working so can you please edit the opportunity to tag is as a marketing lead please?
Yeah sure, pop me a screenshot from oracle with a date stamp and I’ll edit the opportunity. Never had a screenshot sent over yet at any company I’ve ever worked.
I'm reminded of ''the Glengarry leads''.Quote:

I was pleasantly surprised with how easy their soup maker labels came off. There must be a huge saving between stickers that easy peel and those that don’t for manufacturers to keep using the buggers that disintegrate in tiny pieces and leave gunk behind!Quote:
