The Minions? Who sets your firewall?

As you can see, it's a council computer and they feel "it's unsuitable for viewing, in public".

Maybe it's because of where you're posting from. Who knows, the council don't, if that helps matters. And the IT Department can't be contacted. Their e-mail system isn't working, and they're working from home at present.

I've just eaten an enormous plate of chips as my reward for the day. I'm now deservedly full.

And feeling chipper!

It's my mother's 89th birthday today so I took her out to Canterbury for the day. The most wearing part was answering a perpetual stream of random questions on the way.

Introduce her to this section of the site A perpetual stream of mundane comments and questions mean she will fit in superbly

My calendar for tomorrow is empty. I'll likely fill some of it with a ride or a walk 🚶

You mean there`s no Thursday?

The end of the World is nigh folks!!!

I'd feel full if I'd eaten a large plate too. How long dies [poo: "Does", thanks @homebuilds] it take to digest?

We know you meant does but under the circumstances dies is probably correct if he/she keeps munching on large portions of the deep fried food type

Three hours wasted this morning. We'd got a containerised bulk wheat exam to do at a grain store to the south of Cambridge this morning, so a couple of us set off just before half past seven, only for a message to come through when we were just 10 minutes from the depot that the trailer had been damaged and the container was still in Tilbury. After a quick chat with the site manager when we got there to cofirm he'd had the same info, we turned round and came back to Felixstowe.

Still, at least it was better than sitting in the office and I get to have another day out tomorrow or Friday.

Anyway, time to catch the hot air balloon to the Land of Nod.

I'm going to head that way on foot.

I think @Reynard may have taken the safer option

Hot air balloon crash lands in Nottinghamshire

I get something similar on the work computer when anybody embeds social media content, especially Twitter messages. I consider it to be a good thing.

It's just the way our IT policy is. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc are all blocked, but I can watch Youtube videos, the BBC iPlayer & ITV Player all day long. If I log on to the WiFi on a personal device, I can stream BT Sports but not Sky Sports. Spotify is blocked, but not BBC Sounds and so on
