Not, unfortunately

Those are the ones! It’s quite a distinctive word so must have stuck in my head!

Amazing, thank you for that. There’s so much that’s fascinating in linguistics!

Of course German has a word for it! I did some bee research a long while back and we used to stick a tiny bit of numbered card on bees to track them. That has a German word as well, something like opalithplatchen.

What kind of language has a separate word for a tiny bit of numbered card that you stick on a bee?

My old neighbour had one of those kebab shop bug zapper lights which she hung outside and ran all day and all night. I couldn’t sit out because the sound of insects being disassembled was too much for me to cope with.

Whichever colour is cheaper, that’s the one I’ll get…

We have Neolithic attracts and Roman ruins, as well as a castle from somewhere around 1066, also now ruins.

The oldest recorded standing and still used building is from around 1290.

The first two have a direct line to how long it would take at a servant’s wage to pay off the breakage…

Finally answering the zen question of “what is the sound of one hand clapping?”

I went to the monkey enclosure at the zoo, it was a bit of a headfuck.

It was excellent, some of the scene setting was beautiful, I’m sure individual frames would make for fantastic art

“old man humps bag in gym, you won’t believe what happens next”

I did some hip thrusts in the gym, thought it might be easier/more comfy to use a power bag instead of a barbell so I did that.

It probably was comfier, but what I didn’t take into account is that the bag rests on your groin and it looks very much like you’re just lying in the gym humping a big pillow.

Stick to the barbell!

I was thinking a kind of get-in-line attitude. We can get to you but not for 6 months, that’s just how it is.

That’s brilliant

Also, my colleagues always tell me I’m c-team standard, this must be what they mean!

I work in consultancy and have a dream of forming a small elite company of consultants, employee owned, just 10 or so people who are shit hot at their jobs.

I would plan for it to always be 10 people, deliberately no growth. Do the job well, take a good wage, have some parties.

It’s when companies look for massive growth and shareholder value that everything starts to go to shit.

Thanks to eggy_dreams@feddit.uk for finishing what I started! First thing really finished on the right hand side of the canvas and looks amazing!
