This forum is becoming odder every day.

At least it's not the hat.
The off topic forum is quite something.

McDonald's move from plastic to paper straws is part of a broader effort to reduce plastic waste, but it does raise questions about the environmental impact of increased paper production, which can also have ecological consequences. The balance lies in reducing overall waste and improving recycling processes. As for the Trump Administration's comment on D-Day, it highlights a historical relationship between the U.S. and Germany that has evolved significantly since World War II, though the statement might have sparked controversy due to its simplistic portrayal of a complex historical event.

Jermaine Jenas has been fired by the BBC for "inappropriate behaviour".

That's just what the BBC needs right now, another scandal.

It doesn't take much to be sacked for "inappropriate behavior" in this day and age. The bar is very low.

A guy I work with got sacked last year for something that happened during the the works Xmas party. I have no idea why he was sacked, but it was covered under a company policy that we agree with and sign and they got rid of him.

I go to work nowadays and say very little or have very little interaction with people. I find its the safe option and also avoid all work social events. Bar that though, it's a great place to work.

Coincidentally all comments on all their HYS seem to have stopped a few hours ago. Looks like their entire commenting system is kaput.
Good. It’s almost as bad as the hat.

Strange timing though…

Nah, depends on the workplace. I've never come the c*nt in the workplace in my life and never would.

The last straw for me was someone got a 'comfy chat' from HR for using the word Hun in a football chat with a colleage.

I'll go along with most things, but a hun is a hun.

Starmer pledged to cut household heating bills by £400 pre election.

He lies more than Johnson but he does it in a refreshing grown up way, that pleases centrist melts across the UK

We will be having power cuts in a few years unless he fires that tw@t Milipede.
