Unlikely to be the Chris King you are looking for. Unless I am. Then I am currently unable to take your call.

It's not just women. They're demanding that their kids have more kids who keep having kids. It's the whole assumption that they exist for reasons rather than a chance encounter, so future generations need to keep the line going.
Man here. Feck that. My kids have their own lives. My name is nothing

📢 “A huge amount of men between the age of 15 and 50 will not pass on their genes. They will effectively die out of the gene pool ... Should society intervene?” Steven Bartlett asked last year.

And then a Salamander saw me at the water tower and said, without hesitation, that the documentary was "Doogy Rev, Brother!"
Of all the things in the history of the world that definitely did not happen - this is the pinnacle.

Clothes shopping is quite ridiculous these days. Companies already trying to convince us to buy clothes for a different season. Uniqlo have just sent me an email with lost of linen options. I am currently wearing a jumper AND a fleece to stay warm at home. Linen season is five months away.

Wasn't paying much attention, but someone posted a story on instagram showing the moment Tommy Copper died. Not sure anyone needs to see that.
I saw it live and it wasn't very pleasant then. Not sure why something like that is shared for content.

Tories worried other Tories will turn out to be exactly the people we expected them to be.
Understand Tories won't create or back a bill to remove Mandelson's peerage. There is unease among politicians in Westminster about the precedent of a government using its large majority to go after individuals, no matter how egregious. But mechanisms should still be there to expel him.

Absolutely bang on. The number of really bad SharePoint implementations I had been forced to use, means folk regularly save and share info from local storage. To the pain of all concerned
This week: decisions, consequences, and the delusion that SharePoint is free.
Also: making things with my hands, uncomfortable documentaries, and fully accepting my fate as an insufferable self-promoter.

Which is it - sales are down or that they hope AI will fill the gaps so that they won't have to pay staff to do "spreadsheet shit"?

It reminds me of badly dubbed Kung Fu movies. Without the Kung, but plenty of the FU!

Questions to ask yourself before posting:
1. Is it really Kafkaesque?
2. Have you read 1984, and can confirm it is just like that?
3. Did you even watch The Handmaid's tale, let alone read the book?
4. Have ever done acid?
5. Could this have been an emoji.
