That one is on the way out.
I ate my first crop of Kale from the vegetable plot this weekend, I also got a courgette.

I realise that tossers like Plumdozer (who I hate) don't like courgettes, but I do, they are excellent vegetables.

When did you last put some effort into something and then enjoyed the benefits of that effort?

The biggest job I've undertaken so far
was replacing the breather system on my car. After spending a year trying to get four different garages to diagnose the fault (intermittent power loss), I consulted the internet, discovered it was a fairly common problem involving split hoses and spent a day replacing the lot along with a few dependant valves and sensors.

Considering my tool kit consists of a few spanners and a ratchet screwdriver, I was pretty proud of myself. Especially since access to the area was through a triangular gap in front of the inlet manifold about the size of a letterbox at its widest point.

Yeah, the character development is designed in rather than the RPG style of fallout.
Still some of the set pieces are amazballs.

I've never got into Half-Life 2, does that help?
then again, I've not turned on my Xbox in 18 months and I've still not even started COD-MW2. So I may not be a valid sample.

I got told I had a bad attitude earlier in the year,
because I said I couldn't provide data that "proved" that a certain board members policy I had never heard of had "directly increased front line staffs happiness"
Apparently he was going for a wage review meeting and wanted a graph showing how happy he made people or some shit.

This is the latest target for high level managers
as they don't do any measurable work, they get happy clappy targets like "employee engagement " and the like.

I'd do a graph that shows the positive decline in the rate of decline of staff satisfaction, see if they fall for it.

There you go then
"The decline in the staff engagement score was 4% better than last year" in a big smiley face.

We've got a city cider project running here.
The idea is you donate your windfall/spare apples, and they return it in cider/apple juice. It's called Moss Cider, and is actually rather nice. Bit dry, but they're still in a learning curve.

I borrowed my friend's flat in Canary Wharf for a week of the olympics
Both her and her bloke are cyclists. He's got a fixie with a Burls titanium frame. I was both impressed and deeply, deeply disgusted.

specifically, no gears and no freewheel.
In terms of progress it's the cycling equivalent of lighting a fire on your kitchen floor with a flint rather than turn on the cooker.
