An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
I bought a thermos years ago and showed it to my mate at work.
He asked what it was and I said it could keep cold things cold or hot things hot
Lo and behold, he came in next day and he'd bought one too!
I asked him what he had in it and he said "Two cups of tea and a choc ice"
Even in summer, I hate a cold sandwich. I'm glad you found relief! Is it possible to use convenience store microwaves for reheating leftovers? Most don't mind as long as you don't bring fish or make a mess.
Good suggestion, thanks. I'm not always sure what area I'm going to be working in, but there's almost always a convenience store around.
Very welcome! If they balk, buy a pack of gum or a water, but honestly, I've never had one balk.
What kind of soup do you put in it?
You can put everything in a thermos if the opening is wide enough, I had a colleague bring in a whole bouquet of sausages once.
Sausage is not something that comes to mind when I think about a bouquet.
You will from now on.
Nice
