Ed needs to head back to the vacation home and pick up an oversized lawn tractor. 

I want a Dragon Wagon.

Dunno but this sounds a bit perverse to me - you are so concerned with environment, you subject animals to more torture. That's fucked up.

Cover Letter Specifically Tailored To Company Even Sadder Than Generic Ones
NEWS IN BRIEF
August 23, 2016
Vol 52 Issue 33    Local · Workplace · Jobs

BEDMINSTER, NJ—Wincing noticeably as they read the applicant's claim that he has "always wanted to work for the leading midsize pharmaceutical advertising and brand strategy group in the tri-state area," sources at Percepta Healthcare Communications confirmed Tuesday that a cover letter specifically tailored to their company was much sadder than any of the generic ones they had received for a recently posted job opening. "Oh God, listen to this: 'The company's mission of optimizing multi-platform engagement through strategic and creative brand-centric marketing solutions really resonates with me'—boy, this poor guy really did some research," said senior account executive Melanie Bittle while shaking her head in pity for the job candidate, whose proclaimed admiration for the firm's 2014 Med Ad News Agency Of The Year award made his application significantly more depressing than any of the vaguely worded and nondescript ones that were submitted for the entry-level copywriter position. "Look, he references three separate campaigns we've worked on, and here he even mentions our vice president by name. Jesus, this is so much more pathetic than all the regular copy-and-pasted cover letters we got, half of which weren't even addressed correctly." At press time, Percepta staffers were reportedly struggling to read through an absolutely heartbreaking follow-up email sent by the applicant stating that he was "still very much interested in the position" and "really looking forward to hearing back soon."

Continuing my great streak, my flight is delayed...

Also either city airport has their metal detector turned way up or I'm crying foul. I've two rings on and I 'set off' the detector. Good to know I've no bomb residue on my hands!

City airport.
Fancy

[garbon]

Cheap. Was about half the price of standard rail ticket to Edinburgh.

I would say though that yeah when it makes sense I won't mind flying out of City airport. Easier to get to and less crowded.

The best part is that these "journalists" have a job that makes them do that. Like gawker, we should string them high.

But yeah he is trolling them like a shitlord.

Why does the word garnish mean to add something to food but legally to take money away?
