Don't think about this one too hard - especially if you work in an office - or you'll probably end up crying.

Two economists are walking in the countryside when they come upon a humongous cow pat. The first, feeling mean for a moment, says "Hey, I dare you to eat that pile of shit for £100."

The second economist recalls that he chose to go into academia and could use every spare pound he can get his hands on, so he agrees to the dare, gets down on his knees, and chows down.

They continue their hike when they happen upon another cow pat. The second economist decides to get his own back. "Hey, I dare you to eat that pile of shit for £100."

The first economist considers that the sight of watching the second eat the first pile of shit wasn't as rewarding as he had expected, and he is feeling loss aversion for his spent £100. So he agrees, gets down on his knees, and gobbles up the shit.

They continue walking and the first economist says: "Hey, I gave you the £100 that you gave straight back to me, but we both ate shit. I feel like we achieved less than nothing."

"Don't you remember your training?" replies the second. "Between us, we increased GDP in the service sector by a whole £200!"

@Tago-Mago Little Miss was feeling shy and needed tickling to get her to face the camera. Was a fun evening and a great meal.

@Matt I assure you it’s a lot hotter than Gosport.

Mrs H: “are you all packed?”
Me: “yup, finished putting stickers on”
Mrs H: “Stickers?”

@alexxedge Yeah, I found I made a lot more progress once I embraced the role-play and ran with my choices. In my first 300 hours or so with the game I think I started 8 or so characters and only got 2 to act 2 - I was having too much fun seeing all the different permutations possible of Act 1, and trying to min-max my characters.

@T4920 Biome 5 is a bugger. I had to completely clear Biome 4 for all the boosts possible and pray for a weapon I liked before I was able to clear it myself. Biome 6 is weirdly do-able after you manage to make it through all that though.

@T4920 HMU if you want to do a little Returnal multi-player. I'll be rusty, but I need to dip back into that game to finish off the Platinum trophy. At this point I think I'm basically just on the grind to find the last few randomly spawning collectibles to get the true ending and achieve 100% completion on the collectible screens.

@alexxedge The furthest I've gotten is ~250 hours in, and didn't even finish that playthrough. My problem is that I get bored of my character and want to start a fresh one before I get too far into Act 3.

But yeah, the game is insanely good value for money.

@T4920 Mate, between that and Vampire Survivors, my productivity would be nil. I don't install games on my phone for this very reason.

Vampire Survivors is also on PlayStation now and it's fiendishly addictive...

@JoshC

Got to imagine that a denim skull cap has to be made-to-measure, no? Might make it difficult to produce at scale?

Looks cool though!

Here come those 21oz denim dog collars guys, I can feel it.

@Mizmazzle I don't do matrimonial law day to day, so I'm afraid I'd be torn on whether to charge you a little (to reflect that I'm not experienced in this area and you get what you pay for) or a lot (to compensate me for my high risk of being sued when I get it wrong).

@Mizmazzle Thanks mate. It's overdue an oiling, I must get on that!

@Matt Work?

It's a thing that you don't wanna do so much that other people will give you money if you do it.

Low-key, the belt clip was one of the best pickups at the party last month. I love having my hands free when walking the hound.

@T4920 That's correct (the Khaki colourway).

@Tago-Mago @goosehd you might want to move the discussion above of the 'sheen' on the khaki colourway to the correct thread. As the Q was asked here I answered it here, but appreciate it's possibly getting confusing.

@Giles said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:

Until Levis flexed their muscles and threw their weight around, hardly anyone outside of Japan had heard of us (or indeed knew that the Japanese denim scene even existed). Levi's made sure many more did. No such thing as bad publicity.

Sounds like one of the earlier examples of the Streisand Effect. Nice.

@sabergirl They're banging, get yourself some.

a 6.5oz long- or short- sleeve T in jungle camo, with minimal or no branding printed.

@Denman-John If it's already started, best to get @JoshC to re-inforce it before it becomes a larger problem. They tend not to stop in place and will just get progressively worse, in my experience.
