refilling my glass of water after an evening at the pub like that old R Whites Lemonade ad https://youtu.be/z0d68eMk4NM

oh wow the secret lemonade drinker ads started in 1973 so they are even older than me

the 1993 remake is better, but tbh i’d prefer to be caught out on my night time excursions by harriet philpin than by ronnie corbett

@enoclue that was exactly the punchline to one of our conversations in the pub this evening🧑‍🍳🧂

and yet i still count introducing ansible as one of my great successes in my previous job 🙃

biscuit the cat, aka “furry croissant” aka “trip hazard” aka “murderclaws”, brought a mouse inside

when he cornered the mouse i placed a humane trap nearby and the mouse ran straight into it, a much faster catch than they usually are!

so i took the trap outside and released the mouse into the wilds of the garden - it seemed to be relatively uninjured

when i came back inside, biscuit, the idiot, was still looking for the mouse in the corner where the trap had been

cats, eh? who’d have em?
