The modern art of interpretative offence, I'm sorry, isn't something I can agree with.

Ironic?

I wouldn't be worried about triggering a few snowflakes. Noisy outrage is just a distraction and not really the point.

Corporate social media posts don't have to be completely anodyne. But if you want to be provocative, you still have to get the tone right. To me, that bloke comes across sounding more like Alan Partridge or Piers Morgan. Not edgy, just a dick.

Irony, me, no, the Americans beat it out of me.

It was, in essence, a pointless post (but hey, it's LinkedIn).

I've been asked many times over the years to post on behalf of my mothership command to participate in social media. Not a chance. I'd probably offend myself. I am a beautiful snowflake.

Should I have received instructions to complete the census? I don’t remember anything arriving.
A letter telling you to complete it on 21st March. Plenty time yet.

I just did a search, as I've had nothing. Apparently Scotland has moved the census to 2022, whilst the rest of the UK is sticking with 2021!

Spot on - although I would be surprised if the cat makes it that long.

Because a census is a snapshot of the entire country at one particular moment in time!

Well yeah. I'm not sure there is an organisation-type category that the UK fits into but Scotland does not. Certainly not nation.

We were censused last year.  Some sort of development practice round it would seem.  The only question they didn't ask was which bollock hung lower.  :hand:
Doesn't get us out of having to do it again this year.  :(

Just received the real thing.  A quick glance through suggests fewer questions than earlier versions,  although I couldn't suggest what was missing.

Just did it online.  Designed in a sub-optimal fashion (wife and three kids, need to indicate familial link from each person to each person, it can’t work out that if child A is sibling of child B then child B is sibling of child A ...).
Got to all be European, but on a factual as opposed to protest vote basis.

We got the printed version for $house_number $other_road, which I diligently delivered to the correct address.  If someone's got ours, they haven't reciprocated.  Is there a way to do it on the interweb?

ETA: Ah, found a thingy to make them send a new access code.
