I don't think this statue is inappropriate at all. It's spot on.

Here, sonny, have a "potato"! I must say that the religious many times are clueless about sexual imagery, but this kind of takes the cake.

I decided to share with you a picture a bamboo toothbrush I've purchased on Amazon. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that such organic analogs of plastic things are better for the environment. I really concerned about this plastic pollution.

I've decided to share with you my discovery of your e-mail address, three times, on our spam database checker, since you signed up here.

Perhaps you'd like to explain how/why this happened ....

Also fuck Amazon. Due to unfortunate times I ended up working at the local branch for the "peak" season and despite the slightly higher pay rate I received it's an inhuman place to work. There's a series of articles in the Guardian which are spot on in analyses even if my experience wasn't quite as harsh. The worst part is admittedly I got hooked on the easy shopping and delivery they provide, and I fear it's too late to find an alternative.

Sorry to hear you were reduced to that clambake, filling in while they develop more efficient robots.
Anyone see the recent Dr Who episode about Amazon?

Hey, no spoilers

- I'm saving the latest series up for a super binge!

I live in an area of the UK where being an in-bred fuckwit is compulsory. Around these parts it's a case of 'give me six'. Thank fuck we are planning our exit. J Robert Oppenheimer said of the place 'It has become death, a destroyer of minds'.

I run an on-line business and spend most of my life indoors. This is good because at least I don't have to interact with the locals.

Unfortunately, my partner, who has a very demanding job, is away from home for up to 13 hours a day. When they get home, all they want to do is crash.

I was running in summer and my knee went. After almost 3 months, it hadt shown few signs of improvement and so was forced to visit the local doctor. He arranged for an MRI scan and also asked me to take part in a survey, given the high rate of suicide in these parts. About 10 days later, I got a call from the surgery asking me to book an appointment to discuss my MRI scan and the survey results.

The survey results indicated that I was spending far too much time alone and that this was neither good for my mental nor physical health and, in fact, could reduce my life span. He suggested I get a job where I could interact with others - even if it was only on a part-time basis. That is entirely feasible since my business is totally automated although I mostly run manually.

The only job that I could find was working for a company called 'B & M'. It's a nationwide chain of stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap supermarkets. Says it all of this area.

Anyways, I applied for a job, got an interview and was offered a job for a start 2 days later.

Fuck me, the manager that interviewed me was a complete and utter fucking moron with the IQ of a plant. I met some of the store staff. They were complete drongos.

From the sound of it, for Amazon, read B & M, or vice versa.

Basically, I couldn't do that to myself, so I rejected their 'kind offer' and we fucked off to New York City for Christmas and New Year.

Sir, you have my sympathy and admiration for doing something I couldn't even imagine doing. Had I, I fear my mind would now be in a far worse state than it already is.

May you encounter better times real soon.

Bless you.
