"OK Boomer" only works on Boomers from Google. If your Boomer is from Apple, you have to say "Hey, Boomer." If it's from Amazon, you can simply preface your instruction with "Boomer", e.g. "Boomer, stop."

Whenever we have a new joiner at work, I ask if they can render their name in IPA for me. Because I *hate* mispronouncing peoples' names.

Unofficial time of 27:07 but I know I fluffed the timing. Hopefully under twenty seven but no clue. Hard to run today. Possibly hard to breathe, unsure.

Also what kind of 'average' is that? mean? median? In that if it's 'mean' is it because there're some profligate outliers such as celebrities? If median, where is the mode? Come on, you're a financial institution, where's the maths?

I have never been more glad to not be 'average' in my life. I think ours cost a few hundred quid tops.
