RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2019 I have checked and the working weight limit for my new ladder is more than my weight. Safe limits for chairs once caused some unpleasantness at work. A directive came round from the Borough safety people that many of the height adjustable chairs in our offices had a limit of 100kg and overload could cause a problem with the rise and fall mechanism. One rather large programmer got quite upset for some reason. We all got new chairs in case anyone wanted to sit anywhere. Tony 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2019 Good morning all, Seems to be dry outside and it should be a mainly dry day with some bright spells. Up early because I woke about 4.15 and couldn't get back to sleep. Nothing much to report except that I'm looking forward to Ally Pally today and meeting some of you there. Have a good one, Bob. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Item just shown on the local TV news - part of the route we drove yesterday has been closed by a rockslide. There's no estimate of when it will be re-opened. There is a detour in place, but it will add quite a bit of distance and time to the journey through the area. We were lucky. Edit - the diversion turns a 114km trip into 249km! Edited March 23, 2019 by pH 3 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TheQ Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2019 Mooring again, Not much extra sleep found... It's dry and not too cold outside. Ben the Border Collie was more interested in his football than anything else, until he saw a deer in the garden. He chased that away, but was a good boy and didn't leave the garden. Porridge is cooking, coffee to be drunk, in just over an hour it will be time to head to the sailing club... 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2019 Ey up! Sun shining outside. Birds are singing. The local world 6seems at peace with itself.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2019 Morning all. Nice and sunny but still chilly here. Not sure quite what we will be doing today but I suspect that the G word may be mentioned. One job will be to syphon the rainwater from the top of the poo cover and then inspect the water in the pool to see whether it has survived the winter without turning green. I might then spend some time in the shed. 6 hours ago, Tony_S said: I have checked and the working weight limit for my new ladder is more than my weight.

IIRC correctly the failure mode was for the gas cylinder to come through the seat and into the person sitting on it. That would certainly bring tears to their eyes. As I had just recruited two rather large people for a particular job we made sure that the office chairs were of the correct type. Jamie 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2019 Morning All. Awake, after a fashion, following very intermittent sleepage. Some of the problem might have been the parking of a 12”:1’ scale class 66 in “ying” mode right outside for a couple of hours. After breakfast and a quick tidy-up I shall depart for the Palace of Alexandra on the lookout for our various others. I shall probably be relieved of numerous modelling vouchers as well. rainwater from the top of the poo cover I haven’t experimented but that might be possible here if the bathroom window were left open in the rain Avagoodun 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2019 Morning. Tony's post brought some memories back - 'fat chairs' they were known to Civil Service office staff. Caused a few laughs over the years. The best was the driver of one (yup - fat. Very), who used to lean wayyy back, on the back two legs (you have to really try hard to do this on a 5 leg chair) and it shot out from underneath him, and went across the open plan office at about sixty.....before hitting a senior member of staff with some force. Whole office exploded in laughter (he had been warned SO many times) shortly before he got the bollocking of his life off the senior staff member! He didn't do that again. Jealous of those going to the Ally Pally, shows are something I really miss. 17 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerburnie Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Morning, this waking up at 4.30 seems to be catching, I then lay there lamenting the fall of my once mighty rugby team who were humiliated at home last night in THE most important game of the year, oh well probably cut the lawns later as the suns shining, enjoy your day all. 1 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightengine Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Overcast and sea mist here in sunny Teignmouth today. The suspenders are killing me. 12.25 or 12.30? Under the palm or next to GM? Pray tell how goes it. Does driving incredibly slowly whilst holding the traffic behind you to ransom, as was done on the A30 yesterday not constitute an offence? 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2019 Good morning everyone The sun is shining and breakfast has been consumed, now on muggertea No2, once that’s finished I’m off to spend a few hours in the garden. Nothing too strenuous just some general tidying up and clearing away the leaf clutter. Tonight we are off out to a new Indian restaurant for a meal with our youngest, Mike and his fiancé Sarah, to celebrate his 34th birthday. Bl00dy Hell now I’m really starting to feel old!

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted March 23, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2019 Morning all from Estuary-Land. I expect its too late to wish all those going to Ally Pally have a good time as they are probably all there by now. Had a reply this morning re. PPI saying that I didn't pay any and that I had no claim. So whats the £19.95 extra that I paid in each month then? Muggatee to be drunk, be back later. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
