    My sister works for a high end chocolate store. If anything melts slightly, gets damaged or is broken, they can not sell it and it goes in to the staff room and they can take it home.

    A customer once dropped £100 box that they do and broke one single chocolate in there and slightly damaged the box. The store manager decided to do a competition between the staff and whoever had the highest sales that week got to take it home. My sister won, the box was half the size of our 8 person dining table!  I am so spoiled when it comes to chocolate. They do some amazing biscuits too actually. They currently do a granola and chocolate one which is delicious.

    Is this the store with a certain French sounding chocolate name? Cause there biscuits of the gods are phenomenal! Expensive... Very expensive but so good.

    There's a real tendency to think of all Covid-deniers and anti-lockdown-under-any-circumstances types as gammon-y Tory cunts or arch-libertarian selfish pricks, but it really is worth remembering how many New Age hippy wankers are shitheads too. 

    So what your saying is that there are cunts everywhere in life? 

     

  3. Just got my Second Sight Dawn of the Dead box set.. It was 69quid.. But you get 3 cuts of the film.. 3 cds of music.. A disc of extras... A novel of the film and a really nice hardback book of essays anf interviews... 

     

    Just in time for lockdown! 

  4. I work in a restaurant which is in A garden centre, we locked down and closed at the end of March.. Spent 6 weeks of lockdown and then went to work in the garden centre for 6 weeks. We reopened in June, screen everywhere, everyone wearing masks, deep cleaning prosedures in place and got hammered, augest was the shits with the government scheme.. Hardly any staff because of limiting money spent. Customers not wearing masks, not socially distancing, openly lying if there in the same households... And now I'm back in lockdown from Thursday.... 

    Restaurants are 2-3 percent of covid cases.. But we have to close... 

    I seriously worried about my job now.. Will I have one to go back too?

    We are going to lose so much money, we have all the Christmas stock in going up now..

    I still insist on one or two every Christmas. Eve, day, three days thereafter.

    I buy one every Christmas to eat on Christmas Eve when I go to my mums... Without fail she will take it off me at some point in the evening when she thinks I've had enough.... I'm 40...

    So I had to replace my TV and ended up with a 4k one.

    I don't really have anything 4k though. My Fire Stick isn't 4k. My Xbox isn't. My Sky Q isn't. My Netflix subscription isn't.

    Is it worth upgrading any of them? I see Disney Plus is offering a lot of 4k content. Just wondered what the quality jump was like.

    I've just bought a 4k hdr TV and would like to know about the above too! Also I've seen 4k hdmi cables about, is it worth buying some? Or is it bullshit? As its a digital signal.

    I suggested to my Girlfriend who was missing me that we video call each other and watch a movie together, it's become a regular thing, we alternate who picks the film.. Most of her choices are shit though.. So I've taken to find out what film she wants to watch, read up about it and then pretend to watch it with her, then discuss it afterwords.. 

    She still doesn't know..... 

  8. Me and the girlfriend watched The Invisible Man remake last night, more of a reimagined then a remake. But it was very good!! 

    Loved the framing of shots, spent most of the film trying to spot where exactly he is in those scenes.  Not sure why it was a 18 though..
