He found the honey
He's doomed but I want to give him a fighting chance, or at least a last pleasant meal.
He's better fucking enjoy it I bought the honey from the local shop to give to him.

Probably sorting through 2.5tb of photos in a dazed stupor. Funnily enough because I wasn't fannying about on news sites and social media I did actually pull together two photo albums, do a spreadsheet for next year, and submit about 18 months' worth of expenses. Who knew the collapse of civilisation could be so productive? |

I took the day off the internet yesterday for mental health reasons. I don't fucking blame you. Had to advise a mate yesterday the same thing as he seemed to be taking it quite hard. |

This is why I never take a photo of any bees in my house, they always land near the mess.

If kind of hoped he'd have buggered off by now, left the window open and everything.
But nope, still lying there. He has moved around more since I fed him though, only walking though and has now lay down in a crease on the jeans that were on the chair.

There’s a David Mitchell rant about exactly this situation.

Not actually sure where he's crawled off to now, I'll probably inadvertently crush the bugger at some point.

You've given that bee a million times more honey than he could hope to produce in his lifetime, you've net-negatived the bee economy.

I'm right here buddy. Rage, not so much, bleak staring depression, yeah.
Hang in there, man.
If it's any consolation - purely in a, "Misery loves company" kind of way, I mean - you're not the only one! |

Got back from Wales on Sunday. Nice drive ect and the stay was nice. An Airbnb booking on the coast but someone at work in another department today was asking me about Wales in general as he's never been and doesn't drive.
"Does it have a border?"
Yeah, just like Scotland does with England.
"But you don't need a passport right?"
At this point I went for it as I couldn't resist. Dead pan tone. "Yeah actually you do, boarder force officers check your passport at the sentry gate and they stamp it with the Welsh dragon"
Unbelievably he bought it! Well for a minute or two.
"Oh really, they didn't do that in Scotland on the train"
At that point I couldn't hold myself together any longer and he figured I'd been pulling his leg.

Ha! I remember we once took some American visitors over to Wales and they insisted on getting their passports out as we approached the Severn Bridge even though we had explained to them that this wasn't necessary.

Many years ago a young lad in the office brought in a copy of The Sun. This being a very white collar office, raised eyebrows. Anyhow, I look over his shoulder and went ooooh, it’s got text in it, the northern one just has pictures. He asks why and I explain that we have a huge illiterate contingent back home due to working down the mines and in the mills from about 8 years old instead of going to school.
Think nothing more of it until a week or so later when a director says to me, here, you won’t believe what daft lad just told me, and swears is true…

Love it. Although a friend of my parents did once go to the garden centre and ask for the grass seed that gives your lawn stripes. Unprompted, not set up or anything. Just a bit simple.

Just alternate seeds from the top of the box and the bottom.

When on a work night out once, we told one of the younger guys that Guinness was made of mashed up penguins, and that's why it's black and white. He laughed it off and the time, and said "Yeah, of course it is, haha.." and then several hours later, he sent a message to the group chat:
"I just looked up that Guinness thing online, you were all fucking lying."

Took the Mrs to a nice hotel for her birthday, getting stuff packed to head back and she called from the bathroom for me to grab something from her bag. Went to get it and stubbed my toe on a chair and broke it, hurt like a motherfucker.
The funny thing is I did the exact same thing to the other foot when we went away for our anniversary years ago.
I'm wearing toecaps the next time I stay in a hotel.
