Went to IKEA yesterday. I now have a rather fetching new LED lamp, Xmas has started because I've broken my Julmust (or Vintersaga) duck for 2025, and I've rediscovered my love of skorpor.
If someone invented a miracle pill that reduced your risk of cancer, heart disease and strokes as well as boosting mood, memory, and lifespan it would be the most popular drug ever. Except we already have it and it's called exercise, and most people can't be arsed doing it.
I'm still slightly irritated that science hasn't yet managed to breed black cats that have ever so slight bioluminescence so that at night I don't accidentally tread on or kick them and then have to spend a week saying sorry.
Something like that; although as someone who had a ginger boy growing up and then another one in adulthood, I never experienced the idiocy thing; and they were no more clingy than my middle-aged black girl is now (and my naughty torty is just lazy, hitching rides on shoulders all the time)
Also we could narrow carriageways down to the bare minimum (which would also naturally slow traffic) ban roadside parking where houses have driveways, create cycle lanes and put solid barriers up to prevent vehicles from entering pedestrian/bike areas.
Indeed. I worked in a supermarket in the 2000s before self-checkout was a thing. Punters not wanting to queue meant staff were robbed from around the store to open more checkouts, which meant other jobs went undone (like shelf stacking, rotation, pricing, reductions etc). It's never worked.
