To be fair he's had COVID twice and not required half the number of tissues the current head cold has required. If 2024 Paul travelled back in time to March 2020 he couldn't justify this particular stockpile.

Stop encouraging him to fill my Halloween/ Christmas decorations storage space with bulk purchases!

I wouldn't actually swap him. The problem is that he bulk buys, I declare a moratorium on buying X and forget to lift it. Six months later (when we finally get through all 72 tins of tomatoes he bought) I'm to blame for him being unable to finish making his Bolognese #PasataGate

But on purpose?!

We already had eight boxes of the sandpaper style tissues Sainsbury's jokingly calls "super soft". We're all set for tissues until about June 2027.

It happens to the best of us occasionally. It just happens to Paul a little more frequently than most (as the 1 kg catering packs of allspice, Chinese five spice, and ground cloves in our kitchen can attest to)

We've all got head colds so @mpaulmcnamara.bsky.social declared he'd order some of "the soft tissues" off Amazon. Apparently a household of three requires 16 boxes of Kleenex Balsamic to get through a bout of sniffles.

Maybe someone like @georgeperetzkc.bsky.social would know how frequently the CJEU do this when they allow an appeal. I was certain it was going back to the GC, the Commission asked for it to be sent back to the GC, but it's now done.

In case anyone was curious live skeeting a CJEU judgement as you read it is more stressful than live skeeting a journey to Holyhead and results in far less advice being offered. I had to delete & make several corrections along the way including the main one that this case now appears to be finished.

I was wrong. The ref has blown the final whistle and Ireland has lost so will be forced to spend the €13bn currently sitting in escrow. I'm still left feeling that the correct answer was a much smaller number but Ireland and Apple adopted an all or nothing litigation strategy and lost.
