Stunt pineapple for work zoom meetings?

[Stronger76]

Light-hearted...
I'm just about to sign in to my very first online meeting. I'm in my kitchen/diner, dressed (well, not in pjs) and hair brushed. Took a look at myself via zoom to check if I was clear on the screen. Whirlwind clear-up of the kitchen followed, along with strategic placing of fruit bowl with pineapple...

Tell me what you've added/removed from your background before video calls!

Said stunt bottle of gin.

I've had fun picking my pet photos that best represent the mood of the day. People are always wanting to check out my pics - more important than starting the meeting LOL

I've got a "serious" background as well but everyone, including the important people, like my fun pet ones. The dogs also like to make guest appearances on occasion.

We don't use Zoom. We use Skype for Business so audio or chat only.

I do work in front of a plain wall though. Not showing my house to anyone. Nosey bastards.

This thread has reminded me of how much I despise that bloke who presents Through the Keyhole

His pasta sauces are fucking awful, too TheUnquestionedAnswer.

I think @TheUnquestionedAnswer means Keith Lemmon. I love TTK and only watch it because I am a nosey fecker. KL really cheeses me off. Lloyd Grossman was on the original show @SchadenfreudePersonified, and yes, his sauces are disgusting. Always a layer of oil on top no matter how well you mix them. It's amazing they still sell them. Did have to laugh though at the beginning of lockdown. The sauce aisle was clear of every type and brand of pasta sauce apart from those ones in our huge Tesco.

It was the same in Asda and Sainsbury's!

I have no idea why they still manufacture that muck!

I didn't know Keith Lemmon had done TTK - shows how long it's been since I watched it. But I wouldn't watch anything with him in anyway because I think he's creepy.
