emt_911 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 My site visit today ended up with me not only running the job but getting involved as well. I'm back again tomorrow helping out again to get it finished one day behind schedule. I do admit to making a coffee on my return and promptly inspected my eyelids for an hour or so. Back later 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coombe Barton Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) All this talk of where Ian could go for a show whilst he's over reminded me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbkOk8GMXiQ [EDIT} For those looking for historical accuracy, the cover of the music, most easily visible on Barbara Windsor's copy, says "Ye Elizabethan Glee Singers". Bit out?? Edited October 5, 2016 by Coombe Barton 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coombe Barton Posted October 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Couldn't mention anything until now - had an internal interview yesterday for a rather challenging position at work - in charge of a new degree - and got it. Whether it's a poisoned chalice or not remains to be seen. But I now have quite a bit of autonomy to make decisions. This in itself tends to be unusual in my sort of organisation where committees are the prime method of not doing anything.

bbishop Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Evening all. If any of you were expecting to see me operating Ashbury at the Croydon show over the weekend, you won't. My services, and that of my stock, have been dispensed with. Frankly, I don't care for myself but am sorry for the stock which won't get a chance to stretch their wheels. No details, but very much a case of "if an offer seems too good to be true, then it probably is." I get a chance to attend the South Western Circle meeting instead. Anyway back from Stroke Club, German lesson and a diocesan meeting. Seeing the knee consultant tomorrow with a visit to Kent Garden Railways en route.

I have a home hub 5 and that handles multiple wireless connections very well. The wired connections use the gigabit ports. All the flashy light things amd most backups are on a shelf in Aditi's study. She doesn't care, they are out of her reach or sight. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 And there was me thinking someone had been looking in my wardrobe when the kit mountain was mentioned.... Remember the hole I'm digging has to be deeper than six feet as the kits go in first, and my coffin goes on top. I wonder if I could obtain planning permission for a mausoleum.....?

trisonic Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) It's certainly not Littlehampton................... Cheers, Mick Depend if it is you or me, Mick............ Talking of which are you lot seeing the recent Ciallis adverts on TV (it’s like Viagra)? Instead of taking the pill when you need it you take it once a day and the byline is “Whenever you are ready....” Fair enough but the ad shows scenes like a woman hanging out the washing when hubby comes out with a stupid grin on his face or they are at a football game or a kids fun fair. Are we going to see a lot of arrests for lewd behavior amongst the elderly, one might ask? Or the latest Viagra ones show deadbeat looking older guys with the most stunning 40+ year old women. Man if anyone needed a Viagra with any one of those women then he has bigger problems than most...... Best, Pete.

JohnDMJ Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Morning, from the other end of the candle! Is your new hub the BT Smart Hub (Home hub 6?)? I have a home hub 5 and that handles multiple wireless connections very well. The wired connections use the gigabit ports. All the flashy light things amd most backups are on a shelf in Aditi's study. She doesn't care, they are out of her reach or sight. Yes, Tony, this is the beast! One less connection than the 5 - the only output is the single (RJ12?) connection to the telephone system. Four gigabit ports, seems to be full of antennae. Bit bigger than the 5 and comes with a postage-paid recycle envelope to return your old hub. (I gave mine a factory reset before wrapping it up!)

emt_911 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Morning all. I certainly didn't feel like getting out of bed when the alarm went off just so that I can sort out someone else's carp today. I think that today will be a lots of coffee day. Have a good day everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Morning All, It is a chilly morning here. The temperature is actually higher than it was yesterday, but there is a rather cold wind blowing. I have the delights of a safety audit to look forward to today. Have a good day everyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyID Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Sigh. The shed has a metal roof that is attached to the timber trusses and purlins by self-piercing screws that screw through the roof's steel sheeting and into the wood framing. Each screw has a compressible polymer washer that seals the hole against water as long as the washer is compressed by tension in the screw. Today I noticed that a bunch of the roofing screws missed the purlins and are screwed in to sweet FA (fresh air). I'm also willing to bet that they were torqued to the extent that they stripped any vestige of the thread in the the sheet-metal rendering the polymer washer useless. Seems to me there are two possible solutions (please chime in if you know of any others) 1) Toss a lot of the roofing panels and start again. 2) Extract the errant screws then screw/glue additional timber furring on the purlins before re-setting the screws. I now know I really am paranoid. How do "they" always conspire to make my life miserable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Good morning one and all May I thank all who offered advice on cancelling direct debits. I trust internet banking not one jot but I recall that in my local branch there is a self-service machine which I have been shown how to use. I plan to call in on my way to the beer festival at lunchtime, this being a much better idea than trying to cope with the task afterwards. I must be careful to cancel the right one ... A letter arrived yesterday summoning me to the diabetes clinic in three weeks' time. I was therefore galvanised into action and had a blood test yesterday afternoon, again steering clear of any distorted results caused by the beer festival. There was a rather scary TV programme on Monday night showing what can happen if the condition is left untended. Sister Phillippa, who conducts the clinic, is more than capable of speaking to me severely and that is just as scary. John CB: the new job looks promising. Fingers crossed that it works out. Best wishes to all travellers and to the ailing, recovering, supporting, grieving, missing and depressed. Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted October 6, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2016 When her indoors retires next year I may be allowed to have the odd lie in....I hope, in the meantime I shall remain as an ER. Exciting times in Academe. I wish you well. Today is sorting out the house day and then we go off to deliver an introductory course on scoring. Have a great day everyone!

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted October 6, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 6, 2016 Good morning all, Slightly colder earlier at 9oC when I took Chris to work. A mainly cloudy cool day with the chance of some showers later is forecast. No firm plans for today apart from a shopping trip and a visit to the bank. Chris has only just signed up for internet banking and on her first online visit yesterday discovered that they've got her Christian name wrong. (She's only had an account with them for 36 years but all correspondence and cards have only ever shown her initials and addressed her as Mrs GDB and not by her first name!) She now has to visit the branch with about 25 different proofs of ID to get them to put their mistake right! I believe there is a good chance that she may be telling them what to do with their internet and changing banks because she is not a happy bunny. Have a good one, Bob.
