Well the day has started very well : walking to work this morning and I noticed that Fortnum and Mason have opened a shop in the Royal Exchange ( City ) which is about 5 minutes from my office, one happy Christmas shopping bunny here ! 
Be rude not to pop along there lunchtime I feel.... ...and I'm excited about The Range opening a store in Wrexham....... Different worlds.....😁 |

Prescribed codeine for my fall injuries, took one pill at every interval yesterday with no impact so upped to two this morning as allowed. An hour later suddenly very tired and feeling very spaced out. Then felt very sick. Spent next 4 hours on and off asleep on office floor. Don't think I'll try that again.

Something a bit different foodwise this afternoon. A work colleague brought in some dried crickets (salt and vinegar flavour). Having tried some, I can definitely say they are not very tasty. I'll be sticking to the cakes and biscuits in future.

dried crickets (salt and vinegar flavour) Is this a predictive text thingamydoodah? Unfortunately not! One foodstuff not to be tried again. Absolutely no taste to them. |

All things considered, I'd say 'no taste' would be the preferable option!

A work colleague brought in some dried crickets Funny. When I read the newspaper article that Sainsbury had started selling them, I did remark that their store managers are amazingly quick-thinking when confronted by a public health inspector. I’m really surprised there’s a demand for them for human consumption as well as for food for reptiles. My work colleague bought them off Amazon. Just had a quick look now. They are being advertised as “an interesting topping for your pizza or pasta” as well as “the ultimate low fat snack”. I can think of better things to have rather than eating dried insects! |

Frankly I think I'd opt for starvation over dried insects!

In central London working this morning, then over to Hounslow to meet a potential client, then down to Guildford for the Rebus play. Back to Surbiton. Very tired but that's work done for this week and a day of whatever-I-choose tomorrow.

They are being advertised as “an interesting topping for your pizza or pasta” That would be just as true if the topping was wood screws or Swarfega. I don't want my first reaction to food to be "That choice is ... interesting". |

I've been feeling depressed for several weeks, I've been down before but never classed myself as actually "depressed" until now. However today I feel less sad but just very on edge and anxious, worried, every little task feels overwhelming. What is this? Anxiety? I've had so many things and people telling me how to feel and think, including myself analysing what I'm feeling all the time. I'm so confused now about what is in my head. I just want to curl up into a ball and disappear. I don't usually share this stuff online, just want to vent a bit.

I've just passed a scaffolding lorry with the words "Erection Specialists" emblazoned down the side. Unfortunate choice of a phrase there!

Wish I’d known about these guys when we were doing our refurb. We had the cowboys, Nottinghamshire ones as it happens. Don’t ask. Long story. I survived.

Near me there's a gardening company run by a couple of women, called The Lady Gardeners.
It amuses/irritates me when I see company names like this posted on social media along with comments along the lines of "Poor fools don't realise what that means". Sigh.

I'm sorry that my post irritated you. I don't seem to be able to post much on here at the moment without it annoying somebody. If you want to remove my post feel free, as you're a moderator. I'm afraid the time limit has expired for me to remove it myself. |

I was thinking of the posts I sometimes see on sites like Fail Blog, where someone posts a picture of a company with an innuendo-laden name and pours scorn on it as if they think that the poor old folks who run the company aren't aware of sex or anything, without ever stopping to think that the entire point of the name was the memorability of the innuendo and that people who are older than their teens do actually understand sex references. |

Specifically, I was thinking of things like this and this, where the post is labelled as a "fail" even though the innuendo is blindingly obviously the entire point. |

Finally got back home after spending Thanksgiving in America. British Airways in Dallas was a complete Sh!tshow but, it's not the end of the world and my bags made it back fine.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to my second sentence, "Unfortunate choice of a phrase there!".
Thanks @emicardiff - though I thought @theatremonkey's relpy was funnier!
