How long is your trip, 13 months?

Mrs. George has the password to my "primary" phone...

Just sayin'.

@Renauda 😂

Thanks all! I'll be back sooner or later.

What a horrible way to die. :eek

Initial examinations of four of the people killed when British tech tycoon Mike Lynch's family yacht sank off Sicily last month indicated they had died of suffocation as oxygen ran out on the stricken vessel, judicial sources said on Thursday.

The bodies of the dead, except for the cook, were found in the cabins on the left-hand side of the boat, where the passengers may have tried to search for remaining bubbles of air, the head of Palermo's Fire Brigade said last month.

Took her to the examination room no doubt for a body cavity exploration search.

Hard to imagine what could justify.

Fear is the beginning of respect.

I'm not talking about irrational fear or dread, just the acknowledgement that the boss does have the authority to bring the hammer and will do so if it has to be.

I suspect the silence wasn't fear as much as sulking.

@89th LOL

@Doctor-Phibes Hope your ears are feeling better.

I guess he needed time off from self-righteously fighting The Man, so instead he had a somewhat less righteous go at The Woman.

I remember when a particularly useless low-level co-worker retired, and a certain vice president wrote a long, glowing goodbye, reminiscing about all the stuff they'd gone through together. I was taken aback at choosing that person get so nostalgic over. Then a few months later that VP retired, and she wrote a farewell email to everybody that included a brag about all the money she made in her career there. This was a person who, when addressing the company before, had a very carefully tended air of humility. I'd had quite a lot of respect for this VP, before she shattered the mystique by being herself a couple times.

I'm genuinely disappointed in what Nigel Farage has done. Obviously, I've always disliked the guy, but he really seems to have gone off the edge of late, in what really appears to be a pathetic attempt to stay in the limelight. There have been numerous examples of this, and he actually said that Rishi Sunak "doesn't understand British culture" after he left the D-day commemoration early, which is clearly a racist dog-whistle, despite his protestations to the contrary.

Hopefully he'll lose this bid to become an MP, as he did in his previous 7 attempts.

It’s not rocket science…
