I had a boss once, would go to meetings, come back and ask me the same questions he had been asked.
He very often had to go back to the next meeting and alter what he had answered previously.

Bullshit.
It pays to employ an expert.

I wonder how much bullshit gets discussed at #ukgovernment meetings, compared to how many experts they have present.

Tinker, tinker, tinker.

Fuck sake. Sitting in a "quite" hotel lobby (three of us). One is having a facetime with what sounds like their whole village in eastern Europe, and another is blasting out what sounds like air traffic control in America. Me, I'm sitting here quietly seething on BlueSky #tossers #notcricket

Typical Guardian pearl clutching and disdain for the commoners - hates theme parks and misuses a bag of dead ones to illustrate her gag reflex anecdotes to the people at her latest Islington dinner party.

And if I sound smug and virtuous - well I used to read the Guardian too. Until I realised what what a bunch of tossers they are.

Had the campsite to ourselves all week, now it's really busy. Why, though, do people have flags on massive poles outside their tents?
