Not worn my suit for 5 years - just tried it on for an upcoming event... And of course it no longer fits. The jacket is laughably small.

McDonald's has become a complete dystopian hell hole.
No interaction with staff, Fighting to get your food amongst the throng of delivery drivers and the soul destroying grey interior.
It really is the pits

Toying with the idea of going to Paris for the weekend for half-term...

They've changed the recipe for Chill Heatwave Doritos.

Perfect soft poached eggs - put two eggs into boiling water, uncracked, for 15 secs. Take out and crack carefully into the water. Boil gently for one minute and turn off the heat.
Put in your toast, and when done, serve with the eggs. It is very simple, and it works.
