Re: Wtf is going on in the Brit post office?
Hard though it may be to believe, I doubt there was as many wilful or deliberate acts of malice. I have seen too many IT systems that the users thought were crap, but senior management believed were wonderful, partly because they were never told how poor they actually are. The practice of 'only goo...

Re: Natwest boss says stop bitching, buying a house is easy as f##k!

The real hope is that modern technology and working habits will allow people to live in more remote (read cheap) areas of a country. A longer commute is doable if it's only once or twice a week.

I like the pageantry of carving - and I'm good at it. I do, as mentioned, carve enough for a few days (usually just me eating it anyway!).

A game changer for me, was to slice it up and store in plastic containers in the fridge straight after Christmas lunch. It takes a bit of time and effort, but you then minimise fuss and maximise snacking potential over the next few days. You don't need to do anything except eat it. Doesn't that rem...
