Brexit planning is proceeding well chez Ransos: the beer and rhubarb gin are bottled; loganberry whisky is steeping; apple and grape wine is fermenting. See you on the other side. Hic.

You might need something a bit stronger than that.

My first pass it this left me confused as to what flavour gin you had made. I briefly imagined there was a "beer and rhubarb" flavoured gin.

Are you set up to brew HRT and insulin? You could become very rich in the end times.

Heathrow T5. I'm travelling with the company directors. I was hoping for business class, but they've booked us all at the back.

Should I happen upon a process for home-brewing ketamine, I'll be sure to let you know.

I probably won't search that at work.

But we all know how to make blue meth, right?

Just had a big win at work. I’ve been managing a formal dispute and we’ve just been told the adjudication has gone entirely in our favour.

This is big brownie points for me, as I’ve done all the work without input from Legal.

I’m going to celebrate with a gin!

We had another big win at work today.

All I need now is for my lottery numbers to come up tomorrow... ;D

An unpleasant idea has just crossed my mind: what would distract everyone and finally close the door on the Prince Andrew scandal? A period of mourning and a Royal funeral.

Prince Philip, watch your back!

At the risk of appearing harsh, mourning?

Sorry, yes. I meant official and royal family mourning. The papers will leave Andrew alone while they are following the protocols and obsequies required, and likely come back to newer scandals afterwards.

Oh yes. There is official protocol for government departments to follow. I could tell you more, but I'd have to kill you.
