    That'll teach you.
  • That's going to be a pretty insurance claim!

    As a fellow technician, all I can think of is all the new shiny gear you're going to get :D
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Is it because of the weather or because the new crew of single lady crudders found a picture of me in jockey briefs in there?

    And as someone who works for an insurance company I wish you'd be less selfish and not store stuff in flood prone areas, think of my bonus dammit!

    But how? Everyone knows that diamonds are one of the hardest things on the planet, second only to an insurance brokers heart, so unless they we're to come into contact at high velocity I don't see how it would get brok.............oh!!!

    it turns out that not much of my stuff is broken. just cables and ancilleries (sp?) but they reckon to re-carpet the entire building will be close to a million quid!!!!! :shock:

    No, they're getting a bike in from Merthyr to do the job, will cost that much by the time you factor in the amount of days off sick he has and the amount of stuff he nicks when he is there.

    Talking about battering people with baseball bats it reminds me of this,

    No idea in terms of sq feet. I was talking to one of the facilities guys and he said it. I think that was taking in labour costs etc as well, but yeah that's a lot of cash for carpet!!!

    Ive just been working some stuff out and I reckon he's got his figures wrong. A million quids worth of carpet would probably carpet wales :lol:

    You need to change your Facilities people. Do they need somebody who likes bikes?
