Three sugar cubes worth of plastic enough to kill a puffin, study finds
Three sugar cubes worth of plastic enough to kill a puffin, study finds
Scientists find tiny amounts can be a ‘fatal dose’ for marine life in the most comprehensive study of its kind

Huge global brand? Spurs??? I call bullshit
From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Daniel Levy was chairman of Tottenham Hotspur for almost 25 years, growing the club into a huge global brand. But on Thursday, he was removed from his role in a shocking turn of events. We investigated why they got rid of him.
Daniel Levy’s shock removal by Spurs – Gibb River review, change in Lewis family relations, what it means for sale
A Lewis family-instigated review by a US firm into why Spurs were performing so badly ultimately led to the removal of its most powerful man

If you see this QTP with a perfect 10/10 album.
Could have gone with a number of albums I consider perfect, but I'm in a Wildhearts kinda mood today. So many standout songs on PHUQ, but Nita Nitro is my fav, what's yours?

Five years ago, our then prime minister Boris Johnson extolled the value of a UK - Australia trade deal by pointing out that Tim Tams would be available for purchase from UK supermarkets.
I hate the Conservatives, but I fucking love Tim Tams.
It's 2025 Boris, where the fuck are my Tim Tams?

Yay! It's time for my nightly 'wake up at 1am and he too stressed to get back to sleep' bout of insomnia! I have 3 months left in my current role, honestly think I'd be swinging from the rafters if it was one week longer

My wife just asked me if I ever struggle to poop at work, for fear of colleagues overhearing.
My darling, I have shat into q bag in full view of a troop of blokes, then sealed said bag and stuck it in the bag of my wagon alongside the rest of my crews excretions for the last week.

Finally found out where my next job is going to be and it is NOT what I expected!
I was fully prepped for a technical officers role, probably at a larger unit or formation, but instead I've been made a Squadron Second-in-Command in a technical training unit! Talk about curve ball!

After weeks of confusion, I got confirmation today that I have been offered a late entry commission into the Royal Corp of Signals! It took me 20 years to smash through every jnr and snr non commissioned rank, now I get to see what's on the other side of the velvet rope (surprise, it's more work!)

Tomorrow (hopefully) I'll find out if I have been selected for my career defining promotion. I have one shot at it, and if I get turned down that's that.

I cannot wait until the Christmas break. Ive been doing the work of a 3-6 person team for 4 months now and it's killing me, being told by your boss that you're 'smashing it' and 'its going to look good on your report' doesn't abate the desire to jump head first out of the closed office window

Had to take this nervous girl to the vets today, she had a wart on her back that had become detached and the area around it had swollen up. She's fine, just a course of anti inflammatories, she has been told to cut down on the treats because apparently 9.8kg is a bit heavy for her size 🥲

Last night, she demanded to go downstairs to survey her empire (garden) twice, once at 2am and again at 4am. Consequencially her loyal subject (me) got bugger all sleep 😴
