cat got onto the counter and took out a whole tray, anyone want to guess how many survived

KK

it is 4 degrees and horizontal out there, which is at least good weather for a parcel

quick one update from 9 months ago: the cat is still banned from the counter and still on the counter

check the milk

i drink fizzy water with a lime in it and pretend, and it is fine, mostly

whats the strangest place anyone has kept a vial while travelling

AA

i have a photograph of a cat sitting on a cool box and it is the only illustration this channel needs

the fridge is called colin and colin has never once let me down

star mg not mcg. the correction is faster than the mistake at this point

sport was bad

cold chain incident

HL

the jewellery scale gets used for coffee beans more than anything else and it was still a good purchase
i have the spreadsheet nobody asked for, it has seven tabs, and one of them is called cats

AT

swirl dont shake is on a magnet on my fridge and it has now outlived two fridges

HL

i told my mother it was for the cat. the cat is fine and my mother is confused

AA

does a cat knocking things over count as a cold chain incident

36 and rising

how hot is it where everyone is, purely for shipping reasons obviously

AT

alcohol free lager has got genuinely good, which is the single most useful thing i have learned in here
we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it

KK

we are three years into the standing bet and the goalposts have moved twice

sharps bin by the kettle

HL

is there a sharps bin that doesnt look like a sharps bin, my mother in law is visiting

🎉13

the mcg thing has happened four times this year and somebody catches it inside ninety seconds every time

KK

how many people in here own a jewellery scale for entirely legitimate reasons

strangest place was a hotel minibar, inside a sock. it survived and i am still proud of it

KK

slightly off topic but i have the spreadsheet nobody asked for, it has seven tabs, and one of them is called cats

*Medutest not the other one

somebody shared a spreadsheet, then somebody shared a better spreadsheet, and that is how this channel works

raining here for the ninth day, is it doing that everywhere

BW

a spreadsheet nobody asked for is my favourite genre of message in this entire archive

raining here too

TT

the fridge thermometer has become a personality trait and i am at peace with that

for the archive what do you tell visitors the little thermometer in the fridge is for

cooking a curry i will eat a third of and enjoy every bite of. that is the deal now

AA

while im here i miss coffee more than beer, and the coffee is still there, it just does not like me anymore

who is winning the bet and are they going to be insufferable about it

still nothing shipped

😂1👍7

i own four thermometers and i can explain three of them

AA

does anyone elses dog know the fridge sound means nothing for him

i checked the milk with the vial thermometer and now i am cross about the milk
sport went the way sport always goes, which is badly and late

36 degrees today, which is a weather problem and also a shipping problem
alcohol free lager has got genuinely good, which is the single most useful thing i have learned in here

BW

the dog has learned the fridge sound and is furious every single week that it is not for him

my sharps bin has a name as well and i am not typing it in here, for what its worth
