A few people have said ‘Gramps’ wasn’t his actual name, and it’s like an alternative to ‘grandad’ but I don’t think so. His real name was Gramps. It’s what all us kids called him.

Lukes should do this. Can’t imagine an old Luke.

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 1d

This blew my mind as a kid. I couldn’t imagine someone called Gramps being young.

Cardigans over cardio.

Me telling Mark Watson that I need to do more cardio. Him reassuring me that I have nice cardigans. Mark is not a qualified GP but good advice is good advice.

Thanks Paul. (I’ve assumed that’s your name - imagine if I got it right).

Counterpoint: it is quite useful having phrases that mean things.

Any time I'm on a teams meeting, I keep score of how many times people say the following: "touch base, moving forward, best practice and on the same page"

Watching this relaxes me for some reason.

No Strings Attached then?

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 12d

Or Untangled, if Disney’s lawyers weren’t such grumps.

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 12d
