OK, this is going to sound like one of those awful Chat Magazine Top Tips… My home office has laminate flooring & it is cold. I've taken a toilet mat & put it under my desk! Now my feet stay warm and my chair doesn't get caught on the carpet. What's your top home-office hack?

Hey BGR dot com, I want you to find the contributor who wrote this article and give me their name, so I can personally ask them how long they waited for a chance to make a joke like this and how good it felt to be given that chance.

I recently passed on a job offer after 4 rounds of interviews. This company only seemed interested in grilling me on my coding ability (all 4 interviews were technical, live coding sessions) and never asked about the hundred other things I do as part of my life as a dev.

Has this caused offence because it uses the word female instead of woman, because it mentions gender at all, because the preference would be to say ‘non-male’ or something else? I’m interested as I see tweets like this and don’t 100% understand what’s being pointed out.

it's not that i'm offended - it's simply that opening an email which indicates that a company's chief or near-chief interest in hiring me is that i'm a woman and not my skillset is pretty offputting!

I get Batman is darkness & vengeance, but too many modern adaptations forget to bundle the badass with the empathy. I loved the 90s series where, as dark as things got, there were moments of hope, Batman would kick the crap out of evil, but he'd jump on a chance to rehabilitate.

It turns out the "Sainsbury's copywriter bad day" story was as predicted: a twee copywriting joke from the tweeest food brand in the business. @trequartbeasta has taken this photo of an actual pack of the product (left) (Image 2 here another example of their writing - be warned)

Post details

A "Sainsbury's copywriter is having a bad day" story has done the rounds (image 1, 2, 3), but... ... the same text was on the Tesco site (image 4). I suspect that likely means this was the actual info from the company (who are well known for their *terrible* copywriting jokes)
