Work party got out of hand. Missed the last tube home and had to get a taxi. Had to get the tube this morning.

Marvellous, what was the party in aid of?
Lots of work grief going on at the moment, also trying to sort out the old man's car. A Toyota main dealer is trying to charge him £240 for plugging it into a diagnostic machine. Hardly surprising the motor trade gets such a bad name.
Drinking tonight, I need it.0 -
Isn't there a thread about all A3 drivers being cnuts? Don't be a Jessie, buy a Porsche 968.sa0u823e wrote:Walked the dogs on the beach, cold but beautiful, came to work, off to test drive an A3 at lunch then I get to meet the lawyers regarding work and work stuff.0 -
Start of season dinner party at the Shard (only 34th floor tho). We have a new joiner who was quite drunk and kept demanding to go to the viewing platform. Taxi home was only a tenner, which was a result.0

If the bikes are going on the outside it should be like this:sa0u823e wrote:2 dogs V68 not just the bike, anyway the bike would go on the roof for the aesthetic look.
How big are the dogs?0 -
The Porch does look better, but it proves the point the bikes should be over the back not directly over the roof.
Nice dogs, I see what I thought was a slightly unkempt wiemaraner most mornings in the park. Turns out it's a Slovakian pointer. Lovely thing, almost invisible in long grass though.0 -
The weimaraner is nicknamed a ghost, and I understand why these days, she just blends in to anything.
I am half tempted with TT and hanging the bike over the rear like that, just a pain for climbing and dogs. But the abuse I would receive for driving said car by everyone I know may not be worth the quality of the drive and the hassle of the dogs

Evening Gimboids,
Great email exchange with the boss today after one of my team decided to retire.
Boss: "Great chance to 'upskill' and get someone dynamic into the team who can do x, y and z." (x, y and z being stuff that the retiring bloke can't do)
Me: "I know. I've already got the pay for that job description benchmarked and its a grade up from the old job because of x, y and z, obviously. You just need to sign the recruitment authorisation form I left on your desk."
Boss: "Times are tight, we can't be seen to be increasing costs."
Me: "But we won't be be able to recruit someone who can do x, y and z for what we're paying currently."
Boss: "What will you cut from your budget to make up the difference."
Me: "I have nothing left to cut, you slashed my budget by £150k last month."
Boss: "But you haven't budgeted for this increase." (about £10k tops)
Me: "How could I do that, the budgets were finalised last month and I only found out about him retiring 2 days ago? In any event you said last month we were't allowed to budget for any salary increases over inflation so if I had known last month and tried to budget for it, you would have said no."
No reply from the boss so far to that.

A Waimeraner and a Spaniel!? That must be a bit mad but fun.
@Stevo, sounds like you want the job.
@VN. pretty sure you could get an OBD2 scanner specific to that car for much much less than £240. I was charged £45 for plugging the exhaust manifold Lambda sensor on my SAAB back in after I specifically told them it was in limp home mode and I unscrewed it because it was going like a bag of nails.
Cycled in Arctic conditions today. Mangled. Tomorrow is another day...
