Cannot buy employees drink - might be seen as tempting them into error or worse. Or be blamed for pressuring them to drink if they get done on the way home.

yeah yeah yeah blah blah blah we used to sit around the conference table w/ glasses of wine & doing shots of Bailey's Irish Creme over lunch but I guess now it is for the best. so many things are lost after covid

Wasn't he the lawyer that used to leave large notes, such as "Doctor on Emergency Call" and "Broken Down", on the car dashboard to avoid paying the parking charges?

Mrs 73 has an official sign she gets tickets. The best one was attending custody in marked car she parked in police vehicles only on street bay. Even with a few bobbies seeing parking attendant eye up the car coming out and having a word. He still slapped a ticket on it.

All Creatures Great and Small.

That will be the one with "foreign" actors trying to be dales folk with laughable Yorkshire accents ?
At least the original had real Yorkshire gritty actors with accents to match. Sadly most are no longer with us.

I need to start thinking about a replacement laptop in the new year as support is for Win8.1 is ending soon and this one is a bit marginal for memory and hard drive space anyway.

I know I could probably install Linux and have it work happily ever after but I haven't the patience or the inclination to mess around with these things anymore. I just like plug and play.

In my experience, Linux is more plug & play than Windows these days.

Fish finger and mayo on door stopper bread for lunch…

Looks like some nasty winter weather for the USA?
Remember being in Chicago one winter and never feeling so cold

I remember being in Paris & being so cold I welcomed the vents from the Metro

That was a somewhat damp shopping trip earlier. Couldn't justify using the car for the amount I needed & the shortish round trip so got fully waterproofed up and used the ebike & panniers. My 'waterproof' gloves were damp inside by the first stop and completely soaked through by the second. Got called 'brave' for cycling in that sort of weather, which makes a change from the usual 'mad'

At least everything is now finished and, apart from a circuit of delivering stuff to my dad, mum & sister, I can put my feet up with as much food & drink as I want until Sunday.
