That AAISP have a company bouncy castle.

Given that they already own an orc and a laser engraver, this doesn't really surprise me.

Care to be a little less cryptic?
Bouncy castle and laser engraver are simple, but how does a subterranean humanoid normally found in the pages of LotR come in to things, and what's AAISP when it's at home?

That Puffinus puffinus is not a Puffin. It is a Manx Sheerwater. A puffin is Fratercula arctica (Atlantic Puffin, there are two other Fratercula sp. puffins)

I've learned that Britain is broken and we're witnessing the end of civilisation as we know it... according to the miserable, spittle-flecked git who was reading selected articles out of today's Telegraph to his silent wife. All whilst sitting in a posh Costa Cafe sipping skinny latte... in a lovely county town on a beautiful winter's day in one of the richest and healthiest countries on earth.

If he'd shouted "We're all doomed" at the end of one of his diatribes, I'd have laughed.

Poor man.

Console yourself in the knowledge that when it all goes tits up, he'll probably not have a single useful survival skill, and his wife will go off with the very practical Polish plumber she's been sleeping with for years....

Does anyone actually know a Polish plumber? I know Polish bakers, decorators, shopkeepers, electricians and, er, bods in the city, but even when I lived in Poland I never knew a plumber!

Anyways

All the Polish plumbers I know are far too busy screwing the wives of unsuspecting Daily Telegraph readers to actually get on with any plumbing.

I spent 4 hours today fitting the roller blind I bought from JLP online in the sale.
What I learned today is that roller blinds were invented by sadists, and, it's best to go and actually see how sheer these fabrics are before purchase.
