Not sure I am an average person (not in a bragging way -- literally don't know if this is average or not) but I think most of our company worked from home for about eighteen months, give or take.

This was in the UK, so maybe we had different rules and coverage.

Tweets from the lockdown. (My version of random radio broadcasts).

That would be unfortunate.

Especially if you are in public. I mean -- imagine explaining it to the bomb squad!!

"It just came out of my bum.........."

We were, but we went a little bit off topic.

Also I thought gorillas were apes?

So well up on current events I see :)

Also my mass is quite low compared to my volume.

So I could have something in common with you?

I think I can do better than that :)

You know what?

There are 2 million fewer smokers in the past 17 years (since the ban was introduced) -- a trend that looks like it is going to continue, and an estimated 1500 fewer heart attacks due to smoking and second hand smoke exposure per year, along with tens of thousands of other deaths due to smoking and second hand smoke exposure per year.

Compared to the death of one fucking monkey -- I am pretty happy saying it has been a success.

Also he is (or was) a monkey in an American zoo and since I live in the UK, why should I give a shit?

He nearly killed a kid. He got what was coming to him.

That does sound sweet, and nice, but as someone who attended and still attends indoor weddings with a heart condition and occasional breathing issues...........

You see where I am going about not missing it at all, right?

I like how people reminisce about the time they could smoke in pubs, and in restaurants, and clubs, and so on, but as someone who has had major health conditions their entire life and avoided pubs and clubs for that reason and sometimes had to leave restaurants because of it...........

Like I said -- 1997 was a very, very good year.

Did you ever see the next to last episode of Good Omens...........

Apparently I was today years old.

Although (in my limited defence) I am not sure I have ever actually used to that word or written that word down.
