Jesus Christ, when I said that I got a shitstorm from that chick in San Francisco. :facepalm:
|
I've got a wretched cold but I don't get them that often so I have no cause to complain.
That said, it's a pain in the arse which, I think you will agree, is an unusual symptom of an upper respiratory tract infection. |

Feel better, Mr. C.:comfort: |

It seems to be on its way, I'm pleased to say. The only worry is that both Dad and I have flu jabs booked for Saturday morning and they won't do them if you have a cold. I should be OK by then but my main concern is that if Dad gets it, not only will he have to wait for his jab, it will be a major concern given his generally frail state of health. Yet another thing to worry about. :eek: |
Work have provided me with a second screen. It s small maybe 14 inches and square .. I shit you not. I don't know where the hell they dug them up from but they're dotted about the office now.
Mine has a sticker on it confirming a PAT test and dated 2013 I assume when they closed down a department in one of the other branches it freed up a bunch of old equipment. I mean - don't get me wrong, i appreciate the extra screen, it really is useful, but like every time I look to my right it's like I tripped and landed in 2005. I keep expecting some errant Crt monitors to show up. |
Most of the trademarks I work on are for companies you never heard of. (They need trademarks too.) But there's the ramen noodle company you have all seen in the stores and some high end French luxury goods houses you might be aware of. Stuff like that. Nothing really too interesting.
Today, however, I renewed a trademark for a famous rock and roll band that sings about stairways to heaven. :D But it's just paper shuffling. |
I haven't seen the ramen noodle company I know the name of in stores in quite a while. When I see ramen in stores, I always notice that it isn't Nissin, but never make a note of what it is.
I guess Nissin had a strong trademark game, but not so much of a shelfspace game, at least in my local supermarket. |
In the stores around here, if it's not Nissin, it's Maruchan.
I think the Nissin is much better. |
Now I want noodles.
|
We don't have Nissin in the brick form in our local Safeway, but we have Nissin in the cup noodles form.
|
We sell Koyo, Gimme, Jade Pearl and Mike's Mighty Good. Bet it's none of those....
|
I might be mis-remembering but I feel like Campbell’s was in the ramen game several years ago with a healthier baked ramen. They were pretty bad and expensive for a ramen IIRC.
|
After living on Ramen in school, I'm still not ready...
|
I think it's all Maruchan in my local Giant.
|
Meanwhile in the depths of my filthy mind....
