asked out loudly for my mate to "read out of the paper the numbers for last nights draw"


LOL.
Topper. That would be a good one in our enviroment.
Its not an office, and Health & Safety are above all paramount, so the japery has to be at least safe. Memo`s are not in circulation except in email form among engineers, not shop-floor staff, which this one is. He was gloating all day, but i took it all in good spirit. But i HAVE to win !.. It is childish, i know, but pride is at stake.

RE: Practicle Joke -- my turn . . . but what to do ?

All good stuff,

to summary, . I did get flashed, but by a workmate heading home in the same direction. He didn`t tell me and i am waving as he overtakes...tosser.! ;)

That said, i have no intention of letting things get out of hand, i am a supervisor, but would like to show my smart ar** colleague that he deals with a vetran in the field.

I will admit defeat in a few hours, and all will be well. Till my time is upon us, and we`ll see who is laughin.

As for the stunning blonde, it may make me smile, but the wife may find a smidgin` less hilarious!.

Practicle Joke -- my turn . . . but what to do ?

Hi all.

Need some help.
A Wannabe Joker at work managed to get " FLASH ME I`M A C***" on A4 paper on the back of my car, the one day i forgot to look.

Thankfully my journey home is 10minutes.

This victorious assault is preceeded by 2 failed ones. He loves to think of himself as the Dogs Conkers of this type of thing and while i am sure i would think of adequate retribution in time, if anyone has a ready made cracker.. let it be heard.

I want this git to be put in his place.

Thanks...

SD

RE: Compensation Claim times . . .

No interim.

All honesty i dont have a scoobie what is going on.

Just waiting.

I am not desperate for the cash, but really at a point where i want closure and more importantly what i am due after what that old tosser did to me, the wife & my car.

I thank God i had no babies at the time...had i, i would not have now, if you catch my drift.
And i hasten to add, would be doing this from H.M pleasure having done something rather bad.

RE: Compensation Claim times . . .

The big drag of it all, seems to have been to wait and see if i would recover fully from my injuries. That way they had eliminated the "will he wont he" get better, and start there.

No one can decide if i will but most think i will, i KNOW I WONT.

So that said, i have no idea. Another year, perhaps?

As for compo. it better be good after all of this.

Is it standard practice to knock back the first offer or is that just hearsay.
( Yes i know . .Hearsay is a shi* band too . . .thot i`d get in first)

Its that same thing that makes the Scottish welcome anywhere in the world, and i for one am proud to be with that stereotype than the table throwing window smashing, face slashin W*****s that grace for our beloved neighbours. I show a general support for England when they are so close they can taste it, but i NEVER slate my own.

Perhaps you can u look out her "hawf brick" and join yer pals at the square.

RE: Bring back the Death Penalty

BASTARDS !

What is going on ? Sod a penalty, I`ll do it.

As for cushy life, dunno about that, i am no expert on prisons, but these ***** will never be safe, i think this is the type of inmate others live for to torture, i may have watched too many films but these guys get it big style, inmates dont like feaks who hurt kids.

I know Neilboy is a Daddy & so am i . . . .so i am sure he too cant bear to go close to trying to feel what te parents of this wee tot must feel..Jeez. Heart goes out.

OPINIONS ON . . . . . " Better to buy at Christmas time, or not ? "

Top O` the afternoon to you all.

REALLY want to get a new motor, and while i struggle to find the one i want, i nevertheless will buy eventually regardless, however, what does you lot fink, or know (car sales people out there ?), is it better to buy now, is there a slump in buying due to christmas, or is the new year a better bet ? . . . If i thought sales were slow and thus get a better deal coz they want me to spend, than I would do it now.

Opions, ideas, abuse Welcome.

Cheers Y`all.

RE: Plastic Pipe heating question

Cheers Dass.

No pipes in the loft, but do have quite a bit underfloor. There are some PARTS of the length of pipe which are just a nightmare to get to to lag due to the access, will this matter too much do you think,

My concern is more a freezing one than a heat loss one.

Sorry, sorry.

MODERN WORLD ? ? By who ?

Hi all.

Just finished nites, and the radio has been blaring all night.
One song had me listening, i gather from its repitition, that its title is " Modern World", but have no idea who it was.

Sounds newish, and wasn`t "THE JAM". .

If anyone knows.
It was rocky/indie sounding.

RE: Kitchen Worktop Scuffin`

Slight error on my part "HOS" should read "HIS". . . it`s my Bodge-it-and-scarper DIY Dad.

We argue constantly as i like everything perfect, which when i do it, it pretty much is, even if it takes all night. . . where as the old fella, . . .well . .not quite the same exacting standards.

It is a laminate top, and will look into this Lamite repair stuff.

Kitchen Worktop Scuffin`

MORNING ALL !

Decoratining for the umpteenth weekend in a row, and last night with the help of the old man was fitting new worktops in the Kitchen . .

The old fella wanted to do the cutting as the sheer amount he has "done in his time" would require a NASA computer to breakdown, however this did not stop hos scuffing the sh*t out the new one in the exact shape of the where the sink has been cut out, which now leaves a soul destroying mark all the way round.

How the hell do i get them out, can i ?

HEYYLP ( pen.pitstop voice!)

Any PAINTER/DECOR`s out there ? ? ADVICE required.

Hi all.

Bit of a DIY dilema.

When we bought our current house there was mad wall panel in the hall, which we proptly tore down, which pulled loads of plasterboard paper with it due to the huge amount of adhesive that had been used by the previous owner . .now,

I sealed the exposed paper with PVA and plastered with a finishing plaster today.

It has STILL gone through, and bubbled like hell, in the pattern where i had sealed the broken paper . .

cut a long story . . i need to keep the existing plasterboard there. WHAT THE **** can i do to a/ Get rid of bubbles.
b/ Seal with and start again.

HELP experts. . . .

I Quote:

ARE YOU MENTAL ?


You feel better at night, with your babies wrapped up warm, knowing that when they go out to play in the morning, that a **** like Huntley is back on the streets with a nice fat 2nd chance in his pocket, . . . . .

Aww, he murdered two wee girls, and thats worthy of a 2nd chance, weeding flowers at the old folks home . . !

As bad as him . ? Dont f****`n think so mate...

RE: Ian Huntley gets 40 years...

Very well put matey,

My point although, angered was that i don`t see how the "humanity" card card be played or even deliberated in the face of something so "in-humane".

I couldn`t agree more that, a lot of media attention was given to this, and less to others which were just as devastating and evil.

RE: Ian Huntley gets 40 years...

I see your point, Jed.

However the theme with the two mothers is exactly that, Huntley is a devious, external 3rd party, who loured these wee girls in.

The mothers were accused due to bizarre close-nit circumstance, which now highlight that nature can take a rough course.

Nature had no part to play when he got the girls into that house with his weasel faced lying cow of a girlfriend.

The addage of " Rotting in hell " is not good enough for people like Huntley.

But good point, well made nonetheless.

RE: Ian Huntley gets 40 years...

How can you say " thou shalt not kill" in the same story as that evil, lying bastard ?

Those poor families have to re-live what they assume was the last cries for Mum & Dad to help them while this ************** did what he did, EVERY SINGLE NIGHT OF THIER LIVES and people who i have followed on this forum, which while entitled to thier opinion, can have the cheek to show this **** remorse ? !!!

40 years... on my, your, and the same Mum & Dad`s tax . . . what are you thinkin` here ? Mibi we could pay his SKY tarrif too ?

Get that Oxygen thieving, scum in a room with the two Dad`s who have a whole lot worse than some water for him. And let those guys feel a little more, than the shells they feel like now.

I am a Daddy of two babies, and if they were even sneezed on in anger or malice, God would be the only help. And even he would have to wait.

A bit strong, i guess, but what real reason does he have to remain among us... ?
Cancer takes away our loved ones, and no-one opts to keep that in a Jar and feed it !
