Yeah, I'm seeing Liiisa as any less-qualified than our most recent crop.

A woman that I know looks like she has photoshopped her on line pics. She posts herself in various outfits but the face looks the same in each. I know that I need photoshopped. But more like permanently.
Another laugh. Recently I discovered a "rival's" website and was sort of jealous. 2 hours later, I can't remember what it is called. Something French sounding.

Yesterday's laugh.
The international airport in New Caledonia is tiny, they only ever deal with one flight at a time. So it does feel rather low key.
But I still giggled at the little kid (looked about 3) who penguin waddled with flappy arms through the metal detector at the security screening.

Something funny in an otherwise awful meeting.
We were recording the meeting on teams and teams was providing a transcript.
The Manager asked when the employees final pay would be processed - when was the next pay run.
I said 'Next Week'
Teams transcript said 'Nick Clegg'

Not today (apart from memory chuckles), but all through our recent holiday.
I used Waze on my phone for directions, and so had a rather plummy English accent mangling various French street names. Rue Gabriel Laroque in particular would crack me up. In fact the full name of my soft toy Kagu is now Claude Gabriel Laroque.

The Prime Defendant made a statement that Michael Cohen lied and has no credibility.
Skipping past the small detail that Cohen lied to protect the Prime Defendant in a highly related case.

Sort of laughing at myself. Yesterday was a public/bank holiday so I (like a lot of people in Australasia) have taken today as annual leave. I just put in an application for annual leave for July. So I applied for leave while on leave.
To be fair my boss knew I'd need leave around this time and the dates for the event (world choir games) have just been confirmed.

neighbour's dog in 'on guard' mode yet blissfully unaware of fox mooching around my yard, 6 feet behind him.
neighbour's dog's fury on smelling the fox as the wind changed.
fox's complete nonchalance; old dog, high fence, fast fox...

I kept hearing a noise like the screen door was being moved but there wasn't a knock at the door.
I went to investigate and it was my neighbours ginger cat.

I had tea with a friend.. turned into a hysterical conversation (laughing until I was crying!) about rabbits … the non animal ones. (If you don’t know, google.. if I go into details about what it is, it would be considered rude!)

Finally got around to watching that Dara O'Briain bit that kneazle posted in the "life was better in the 50s" thread. He is hilarious.

I saw a post on Bluesky that this person had told their mom that they were out of spoons. She'd never heard of spoon theory so she took them literally and shipped them a big package of spoons, which is both funny and incredibly sweet.

Walking my bike past a fenced-off construction site where a road is closed to traffic, and only 1 sidewalk is available.
watched a pedestrian walk into the street, walking close along the fence--rather than crossing to the sidewalk, and directly behind a mini-digger with someone sitting in it.
the pedestrian then JUMPED when the digger moved backwards--towards them. but carried on walking right by the site, no move at all to go to the sidewalk.
I actually stayed to see that they were ok, and not about to keel over.

I got a message from a journalist in Solomon Islands today, asking if I had a clearer copy of a staff photo taken in 1992. Two of the people in the photo are myself and….the new Prime Minister of SI!

A moment of light relief amongst all the horrible shite playing out in universities currently.
A well known Australian businessman and political activist commenting last night about how the Australian unis are (currently) responding to protests: Apparently campus security went to one encampment and let them know the time the automated sprinklers would turn on, so their stuff wouldn't get wet.
