That Jonathan Bloomer, (Chairman of Morgan Stanley) is also a Director of my wife’s Nottingham-based company (before they restructured).
A real nice guy.
I like Commanders sense of humour.

“ the number of snails per crate is kept to a minimum to avoid “cannibalism, group sex and snail orgies”.

I love it when I blunder into a sale, find one thing that I like, and it turns out that they only have one left, it’s in my size, and they really want it off their inventory so it’s 70% off.
It doesn’t happen very often but I bloody love it when it does.

TBF your tastes are unique so likely to be the only person in the world wanting to buy one of them.

Just a checked shirt.
I’ve worn shirts from really only one company for about 20 years, but a combination of retirement (so being a bit more careful) and stratospheric inflation means that I’ve basically been priced out.
However one of the slightly cheaper ones at 70% off, I’ll have that thanks.

Do you remember when manufacturers put Digital on anything whether it was relevant or not (like headphones)?
Well, now I give you digital trousers.

No, you’re absolutely right!
Don’t think so. They did come in a packet and are either on or off, though.

Neal Maupay of Everton FC. - imagine another job where it is normalised to be abused ever day.
Well sunbeam, try being an emergency worker, nhs staff, teacher, transport etc. on an Annual salary that you get weekly plus the gratuitous violence frequently experienced. Doesn’t take much imagination.

Loves giving it out, and as is often the case, totally thin skinned when on the receiving end - the twat.
Suck it up and take the cash.
Dick head.
It turned up this afternoon. The company has always been shit at shipping information so you just get silence then one day it arrives.
Anyway, I appear to have been more interested in price tag than actually looking at the pictures and I seem to have bought a proper preppy Madras 
First time for everything I suppose.
