definitely raining. Dog enjoyed the walk this morning even if I didn't.
Found out why I missed out on a new job, slightly irked but such is life.
The Dates friends keep asking me about diamond rings... do I look like a diamond merchant or something?
Hope it ain't raining your way Oxo0 -
Having a brief morning bask. Will do other stuff later, including a walk up some hills.0

Bonjour monsieur Flan: VN could probably offer you all sizes of copper gaskets but if you want it quick, you can get copper olives at the plumb centre in either 15mm or 22mm sizes. I mean, it's the thought that counts isn't it?
Me going for a wobble me. It's cool, sunny and breezy. I'll count the number of cars that pass me.

Morning folks,
It was decided last night that I would be driving in to work today to pick up a printer for the lad to take to uni, I was very glad of this when I saw the rain. Might be out on the bike later if we do our pub wobble, I suspect the others may bail as the tow path will be muddy. Having proper cycling kit does make it a lot easier, so we'll probably end up in the pub with me acting smug.
What was the problem Flan? Did they do some research on you and find out you associate with Piña? I saw something on YouTube of someone making a shiny ring out of melted down coins, no diamond in it though.
Tea walla is back so at least I'm being watered. Customers keep bothering me though. Been belittling the trolls on the macho culture thread as a minor diversion.0 -
Tea run on form today, the team are obviously after something. However V68 would be proud.
The short story is they appear to have hired someone who never asks questions (internal job) or looks to change anything.
Copper ring it it is then, hopefully it doesn't even count but obviously I did think about the idea... before dismissing such silly concept0 -
Working from home while car gets an MOT retest, need to get shot of it before much else starts going wrong. Busy with work anyway despite hiding away from the office so better crack on...I'm regretting letting 3 minions go on holiday the same week now."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

Jesus - don’t like working0

Rode a bike today for first time in a few months. Only on a turbo, but at least I pedalled for a while. Back to the physio tomorrow anyway, so figured it was worth the risk. Then the joys of a complete head to ar$e MRI scan on Friday, provided they can decide whether it's safe to do or not. Reminded them I have two screws and a plate in my neck and that may not be so good in the mag field, but no response yet. :roll:
Another one who doesn't like work either. 5 months into a 9 month contract and already hoping they decide to wind it up early.TLW1 wrote:Jesus - don't like workingOpen One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0 -
They are sending the old man home. He will have to have 4 visits a day from carers and lots of other stuff is in place for him. But he will be home and that's where he wants to be. There's a hospital bed in the dining room for him and my Mum has borrowed a fold up bed so she is nearby. I now have visions of the grandparents in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.0

I fookin' hate PC World. Reserved a printer on Saturday night to collect from the shop nearest to home, couldn't pick it up on Sunday as I was at the hospital. Went on Monday and they had no record of the order, I looked at the email they sent me and it was welcoming me to my new account with them but no hint of the order reference. I was then told they wouldn't hold it from Saturday night to Monday morning anyway as they only hold things for 2 days. Gave up talking to the woman at that point as she said they had them in stock. Went to get one myself and there were none on the shelf, found a member of staff that told me any stock would be on the shelf. Gave up and went home. Looked in the one near work yesterday, 2 in stock. Took the car in and they've put the price up!Veronese68 wrote:It was decided last night that I would be driving in to work today to pick up a printer for the lad to take to uni...

Super news. Hospitals are not nice places, hopefully he'll be happier at home, and your mum too.0 -
What's with the proliferation of "..., and...". There's no frikkin comma before 'and' except in exceptional cases. FFS :roll:
"Use a comma before any coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet) that links two independent clauses.
Use a comma after a dependent clause that starts a sentence.
Use commas to offset appositives from the rest of the sentence.!seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
If I'd not bunged a comma in, it would not have sounded right in ma heed. A full stop and new sentence seemed too much for an internetz forum. I could have missed out the "and" altogether, but it was mainly about being pleased that V's mum and dad were able to go home. :roll:
Is it raining? Are there midges? Hence peevishness aboot punctuation?

.! :shock:
The exclamation mark at the end of a sentence means that you do not need a full stop.
Exclamation marks are a poor way of emphasising what you think are important points in your written assignments; the importance of the point will emphasise itself without a sequence of !!! in the text. An exclamation mark should only be used when absolutely essential, or when taken from a direct quote.

Of course, your apparent misuse of the superfluous full stop may have been whimsical.

My misuse of the full stop before the exclamation mark has yet to become viral.
