  • I used to unload trucks in an absolute madhouse.

    The heat in the back of the transparent roofed trailers in summer was a nightmare so some of the lads would strip down to their boxers then pop their boots and high vis back on. We eventually got cameras installed pointing down the trailers and we’re suddenly required to be fully clothed at all times. Our shift lead took particular offense to this and flashed his cock at the camera whilst shouting obscenities. He didn’t come back to work the next day.

    We had 4 guys sacked for not only opening customers parcels but for taking fireworks out of said parcel and taping them to Frisbees which they then threw to each other. One inevitably went off in one fella’s hand. He eventually managed to sue for unfair dismissal somehow.

    Another guy was caught trying to sneak a slab of wine out to his car.








  • New product design.

    What testing is done is that core temps are monitored, moisture levels checked and there’s micro testing for bacteria and what not. Its all also run through metal detectors at multiple stages throughout the process.

    This should theoretically be safe for human consumption but all of the unprocessed meat is marked as cat 3 and isn’t fit for humans. A company would be opening themselves to liability if they were to make people test it.


  • I’m a very small sample size being one guy who works in a dog food factory. But we absolutely do not test our products on humans. All our meat products are marked not for human consumption.

    The seasonings and what have you are often tested by the npd crowd but I can’t imagine a scenario where anyone would actually try the finished product.









  • I buy physical copies of anything I’m likely to reread. I prefer physical books but if I want to fit everything I read into my flat I’d need to throw out bot my partner and everything we own.

    Herself(my partner) on the other hand buys books she never intends to read. She’ll buy books with pretty looking spines or covers. Or she’ll buy something she enjoyed before but doesn’t intend to read again as a physical reminder of the emotions she experienced whilst going through it the first time round.

    These opposing purchasing priorities have resulted in an 8 year argument which I have dubbed the Bookshelf Schism.

    I should also note that I typically have at least 3 or 4 copies of the Hobbit at any given time on the off chance I can convince someone to read it for the first time.
