Aston, scraped vipers, gerbils and much more

[GrimbutGerbil]

As ever, the gerbils are yours to command...

Thoughtful or just hiding a massive chin spot? 🤔 😁

Merci ifIwerenotanandroid! Impeccable! it's like looking in a mirror.

I'm not really made of chocolate, but it would probably greatly increase my popularity - an interesting variant on 'dip me in honey and throw me to the lesbians'

Only you will know. Sporner corner's that way ➡

Ooh la la!

God I’m glad I didn’t check in here before my hospital appointment this afternoon. Bad enough I was giggling away about people confusing Beatrix Potter & Beatrice Webb (or were they in fact the same person? 🤔🙀) without having to try to explain Gerbils &c to my poor Consultant…

I mayd a grumpee chocklit ratty fur meself.

I went to Post it for you. Then realised I'm on the wrong tablet. This one just had older pictures of cats and gerbils.

Back in a tick

Right, I'm on the other tablet...

was it one of these ones?

I'm just having a break from my SAR document sorting (only ever do an ombudsman complaint and a SAR to help said ombudsman complaint if you are really really REALLY pissed off is all I can say!) And I would currently like to hug the he/him (they redacted his name but not his pronouns??) Who so far (and this starts in July and I'm now into October) is the only person to show the slightest slither of having two brain cells to rub together. The rest of them seem to be job sharing the one brain cell.

And just as a reminder of what this thread is about...

😍💝

If you could buy these in real life it would be so hard trying to decide whether to keep it as art or eat it!

I walked into the living room at the weekend, my fella and eldest sprog nearly gave me heart failure. They were talking about how they supported Aston and hoped to see Aston doing better! Then I remembered they'd been watching F1

I don't remember dinos in the sweatshop, or MIss Gerbil 2024! How d'you get the AI to spell properly? It won't do it for me. Btw, have you tried film posters? I made some for a film about our short-lived but fondly remembered marriage & would put them up but the AI invented people & words & I'm a bit worried in case they're rude in other languages. I don't trust that AI.

Must admit I look round & spit on the ground every time Birmingham gets mentioned. Fortunately that's not often.

That's lovely! I made you thoughtful in a colourful universe (labs are such boring places visually).

Here you are escaping!

But in these you seem to be taking part in the Philadelphia Experiment (80s version). Oh dear!

The dinosaurs were short lived. Just the thought of the loss of one gerbil life because Derek tripped over his own feet was to much for Grimbut!

And the spelling... I think the AI took pity on me! It didn't last long

And there's film posters????

Now come on! You can't say that and not show us!

So my co pilot doesn't understand film poster! I got this!

To get back to where this all started, a well-connected gerbil tells me that Aston have sent out an update to their research ethics framework which says that the use of social media data sets in research is prohibited until further legal guidance is issued.

Will report this post so MN see it...

On my! Such fun!

Ooh I've just discovered who the he/him is in my SAR. Anyone want to guess the sex, colour and age range of the he/him. (I'll give you a clue they are the head of a department)

Miss...miss...stale, male, pale! 🙋‍♀️
