I just accidentally responded “Yes” to the Outlook email for the office Christmas meal. I guess I’m going then. First time ever. Damn it there’d better be strippers

Have we still got droughts and hosepipe bans? Only I've looked at the forecast and it's rain for the next 3000 years

Someone on Reddit is trying to make me angry about electric cars being liable for congestion charging and they can’t understand why I think it’s perfectly reasonable.

“But they’re zero emissions!!”

Yes… so that would relate to the low emissions zone then, wouldn’t it.

“But… zero emissions!”

I think... I *think*... if income tax gets raised by 2p and national insurance gets reduced by 2p to match (one of the ideas she's had), I'd actually be better off because of the way pension contributions work

I keep hoping EE will do an O2 and push through a price increase that lets customers end their contracts.

All because of a sneaky little cash grab they did this year:

My contract went up from £16 to £17.50 as expected, but they made the change mid-month and backdated the increase on my next bill
