CQ STYLE THROWBACK POSITIVITY THREAD
90% of the stars in the galaxy are main sequence stars, with most of those being M class red dwarfs. G class stars like the Sun make up but 7.6% of the galaxy. The Earth had to form in exactly the right place for water to develop and then a series of extraordinarily improbable events had to transpire for life to even dig itself out of the mono-cellular primordial ooze followed by a further string of coincidences with odds too long to write down for mammals to become the dominant life form on our little blue marble.
Since then further unbelievably unlikely flukes of timing have occurred to produce the exact sequence of the generations upon untold generations of boning required to create you, an individual with the power to shape the world around him (not her, let's not be silly).
So, given the genuinely mind-blowing amount of sheer chance taking place over billions and billions of years, what are you fucking doing with this unique opportunity, you ungrateful fucking cunt?

I flicked through local propaganda magazine CitiVision last night and there were several photos taken from strategic angles that disingenuously show how beautiful it is.
Together with the artist's impressions of how it will look when it's finished I'm sure we'll soon be in for some beautiful city award. Probably.

I picked up a pair of speakers from Felixstowe, once.
I say this because the two towns names are sort of similar.

That is the main drawback of France
It'd be great if it wasn't for all those French types living there, being all French 'n that.

Pointing out that you can only point out this unlikely chain of events because it happened
if it hadn't there would be no one to care.
Much like now, actually.

When I saw him, he was a fifty year old plus chap with a denim jacket with skulls on, dyed hair and a waxed moustache.
Take from that what you will.

I've got about a year and a half to convince my wife that tipping works differently in America to over here. She's a bit set in her ways. If it's expected everywhere why don't they just include it in the cost of the food and pay the staff more?

Because anything more on the staff bill means more tax, potential NI liability, effect on pensions, etc.
tips don't go through the books.
If they are "performance related" how can they then also be "expected"? If the customer thinks you did a crap job, then surely you should get no tip?
