Wheelspinner’s thread has made me realise I haven’t had a Zoom meeting in months and I’ve also only had a handful of Teams calls / meetings since changing job in October whereas I was having several a day before that. This makes me very cheeerful.0

They still have a place (for instance, far-flung committees who are prone to waste time chatting about irrelevant stuff when they meet in person), but, ditto, my 'kitchen studio' is used infrequently too.0 -
One for Stevo - the recently opened HMRC building in Nottingham overlooks a pub called the VAT & Fiddle.
I assumed they renamed the pub recently but it seems to have been there for years under that name. Not sure if HMRC previously had an office there or if it is just chance?0 -

Wonder if they'll get a VAT inspection any time soon?

Missed this originally but as I love puns and word play I'm adding it here:
The Monster Raving Loony Party when in Government will give atheism charitable status because it is a non-prophet organisation.

Watching on iPlayer (rather than previously listening on t'radio to) some Piano Room live seshes, artists plus BBC Concert Orchestra: the Jake Shears with Neil Tennant version of the Pet Shop Boys 'Rent' is 'kin A.0

Having thought that nearly £10 for ten proper sausages was a bit steep, then when coming to cook them realising that each sausage is big enough for a decent meal with the bacon/onion sauce and veg. Ten meals sorted 0

Sewage facilities often have tomatoes growing all over the place because the seeds pass through people unscathed.0

Poo tomatoes, it could be a new tang.0

Don’t the Dutch who grow a lot of tomatoes use human faeces as fertiliser.0

Brings a whole new perspective to the Chocolate Sprinkles tomato. 😉The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Pepper is often found in ancient burial sites amongst bones as it passes through the system in a similar way.rick_chasey said:Sewage facilities often have tomatoes growing all over the place because the seeds pass through people unscathed.

A lot of farmers use human sewage as fertiliser. It's not strictly legal though.webboo said:Don’t the Dutch who grow a lot of tomatoes use human faeces as fertiliser.

Non trivial - went for my first proper-ish (40k) bike ride in about 2-3 years.
Trivial - just took my bike out the shed, pumped up tyres, lubed chain (it was very stiff, which worried me quite a bit) and off I went.
Was in a bit of a rush and couldn't find my tools so just took my phone and gambled everything would be fine, and it was - chain immediately loosened up and nothing else to report, other than a few mild creaks.5 -

It's legal if done properly within the regs.0 -

I've not been aware of farmers doing it, TBH, but then the ones I know are all livestock farmers, and there's no shortage of bovine shît to go round.
One farmer I worked for once rented land that had been treated with sludge (the landowner got paid by South West Water to have it spread), but that land was also tested.0 -
Maybe slightly less off-putting but I've done a few sites recently where industrial greenhouses are built on landfill sites where they use the methane to provide heat.briantrumpet said:
