How does the non coffee drinker in the office get the job of ordering a new office coffee machine?

Nespresso doesnt make hot choc pods so Im already out of ideas.

Here is your chance to go LC. I don’t understand why there is such desperation for morning coffee. Just get an Aldi one - they got pods with al sorts of coffee and chocolate. We have one at our seasonal place.

It’s called “Expressi “ $80 for the unit. $30 for milk frother, $0.37 per pod. Really good 2 year warranty. Ours stopped working within 2 years. Lost receipt no problems. It’s so cheap they just give you another one.

Geez fussy types! If they can’t fill up the water tank how are they going to clean it?

......how are they going to clean it?

Oh, needs a self cleaning button or a easy add solution and press the button clean function.

Haha. It’s a different dress. This is an online dress site with items made in China. Quality is fantastic and way cheaper than Australia. This is one of those dress sites that actually works.

I have looked into some of those online chinese dress sites - but all of them had shocking reviews - so I haven't tried any.
Post a picture of your dress and the website ??

Yes, I know and have been a victim myself.
But the reviews are amazing and having now seen the quality it seems it lives up to its name. If in doubt on size get someone to accurately measure and they will make your size. I am a standard 10 but their measurements for 12 seemed more accurate for what I measured.

And my dress is this one in Dusty Rose. The beading is amazing.

Strange turn that many drs and nurses are jumping ship and moving to OZ.

according to Dr FM who has talked to some of them, there can be a lot of bullying/ bad treatment of junior doctors in the hospitals in England. She has been told if you want to work there to broaden your experience, you want to do it as a more senior doctor, I.e. not registrar level.

Smart ones are not entering profession or leaving for overseas. They are easily replaced by drs from Continental EU. Command of English language is not necessarily a prerequisite.

Same with nurses

My understanding is that wine of the major concern with BREXIT is that the quantity of Drs & Nurses coming from "the Continent" is already dropping and causing problems that are expected to worsen - though of course there are arguments both ways. . One fifth of EU doctors have made plans to leave NHS because of Brexit

Britain furious at Donald Trump after insult

Piers Morgan
✔@piersmorgan
Wrong, Mr President.
Our NHS is a wonderful, albeit imperfect, health system - and the envy of the world.
By comparison, the US healthcare system is a sick joke & the envy of no-one. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/960486144818450432 …
1:04 AM - Feb 6, 2018

Not so much the envy of the world but anything is better than the coughhole health care in the US.

Here it is:
Protests over NHS not meeting expectations
NHS IN CRISIS - FIX IT NOW

What happens when something is free?
Promise first class, deliver third class, and claim what a fantastic system

I find there tends to be a higher proportion of Asian doctors these days and no, I don't consider that to be a bad thing.

They can come from everywhere and anywhere but should at least have a good command of the predominant/official language

Ah, Ponzi schemes are like the old adage about standards. “The great thing about Standards is that there are so many to choose from.

Vale John Mahoney:

John Mahoney, who as the cranky, blue-collar dad in Frasier played counterpoint to pompous sons Frasier and Niles, has died aged 77.

The actor died Sunday in Chicago after a brief hospitalization, said Paul Martino, his manager for more than 30 years.

The cause of death was not immediately provided.

Always loved his character on Frasier. He was quite a prolific actor. What surprised in his bio is that he was born in England.

One of my favourite shows is back on TV, The Checkout on ABC is on Tuesday nights at 8:00am, Jetstar was on their hit list tonight.

And for a bit of history regarding the Berlin Wall.

The Berlin Wall stood for 10,316 days, and today it has been gone for 10,316 days.

Why can't you recycle plastic bags, they are plastic aren't they.

I did wonder why you couldn't recycle plastic bags.

Most recycling facilities are set up to handle predominately rigid (hard) materials that are easier to separate using machinery: aluminum cans, glass bottles, plastic containers and lids, metal cans, cardboard/paper, etc. They generally don’t accept softer items such as your ready-for-retirement college sweatshirt, your beer stained carpeting or your stash of used grocery bags. It’s not that used plastic bags, wraps and film can’t be recycled into new materials – they simply require a different collection system and processing equipment than many curbside recycling programs provide.​

Great video from youtube.
