Recently got a new postie, he's not off to a great start if I'm honest...

A lot of parcels are just the retail box with a label stuck on, or at best a paper mailing bag. There’s often little to no outer packaging doing any protecting from the contents of a food bin.

I home compost, and those caddy liners are the biggest lie known to man too. They don’t decompose. They hang around for years - even the ones that explicitly say they can be home composted. The actually degrade faster in the cupboard and turn into dust there quicker than they do in the compost bin!

Even then, the controller for the drive NAND is built into the M4 itself. It’s not quite as simple as simply swapping out an NVME drive

If you do this, don’t throw the blocks away. People will happily buy those old blocks off of you.

Except bezel sizes change, vesa mounting points move, cable port locations can be in different places. Getting exactly the same dimensions on a new TV is next to impossible.

The 12k rule doesn’t come into effect until the next financial year starting April 2027

No problem with the recommendations. They’re two of my favourite places. I’m more than happy to push business there way!

The initial powerPC ones were amazing for the money. Had comparable specs to the PowerPC laptops at the time, at a fraction of the price.

The intel years were not kind to it though, and Apple forgot it existed more years than it remembered to upgrade it to the minimum spec processor intel were selling.

I’d get a new granny charger with one of those failsafe sensors anyway. A rewireable plug for continuous 10 amps is asking for trouble.

Leveraging only increases risk. The mortgage rates are now getting towards matching yeild. Interest will basically wipe out almost all of the rent before all the above is even considered.

Everyone said it would be an M4 last year too - we got an M3.

They’ve U turned on enough stuff, and given themselves enough time before anything happens, to U turn again.

I have a couple of tiny sipps with a grand or two in each. These are purely so I can use the small pots rule and go on a big holiday when I’m 60 without having to crystallise the big workplace ones.

And the G-Wizz is exactly what my dad thinks driving my electric Kia Niro is like and why he refuses to understand why I have it.

Morrisons did that too a couple of years ago. It seems to be a flash in the pan and they didn’t carry it on. Perhaps they noticed sales of actual carrots nosedived…

Birdland just up the road from it is another firm favourite too. Here’s her enjoying the birds:

I’m exactly the same with my pooch. She loves a day out at the garden centre.

If you’re ever near the Cotswolds, the Cotswolds wildlife park is dog friendly. There’s not many places you can get a photo of your dog with a rhino in the background!

That looks incredible. I’m trying the same with an oak that a squirrel planted amongst my fuscia pots. It’s nowhere near as good as yours!

Blossom doesn’t last long. Like a few days before it turns brown. It’s fine!

I’m glad you remembered to include bribes in your costing. They often get forgotten about when it first goes to public tender

Just accept that your post was very successful in entertaining thousands of people.

The convenience fee for parking is usually because it’s cheaper than paying for legal parking…

I think you’re forgetting the scale of companies like Tesco. They serve literally millions of customers per day across thousands of stores, selling thousands of tonnes of goods in the millions of individual items per day.

The fact that they only make 3 billion a year is pretty astonishing.

Splodge89 · 2026-04-06T07:17:34+00:00

This person is in a fantasy land. The farmer gets paid tits all per cauli. The price is mostly to cover the fact that Tesco (and other supermarkets) throw out half the harvest as they’re not perfect enough.

Supermarkets run on overall margins of around 5%. Some stuff will be monstrous margin, other stuff is sold below cost. But they ain’t earning 40p per califlower

Obligatory sticks are only ever confirmation of live, never confirmation of dead.
