Just had a phone call from "Microsoft" about hackers in my computer, kept them them on the phone for as long as I could.0

Penultimate day before 16 days off work for only 2 days annual leave spend. Unfortunately I have to get a lot of sh!t done between now and Friday evening, but it's all in hand. At least I think it is.0

All the expats hightail it back to Japan, so they close the office from 21st December and re-open on the 3rd Jan and give it to us as paid holiday. I've taken 3rd and 4th off, and the weekend means I start back on the 7th Jan.0 -
Last day of freedom to do as I like before the family descends in a rolling wave formation, starting with the 4yo twins tonight and ending a week on Friday. Hmm.
Might head off to my nearest airfield and practice flying a drone.0 -

This is bad news for your waistline/liver.
Procurement of bits day today. Hope I order the right bits. If there was actually anyone in the car part business in this 'off topic area' part of the who knew what they were doing, it would be easier.
Please fly the drone around Glasgow airport and Prestwick on Monday 'Loon . That way I get to get in and out of the place a bit easier.

The like mine? 20 minutes walking, 40 minutes of the sniffing round everything that moves and taking a crap at the most annoying spot.
Dog that is, not liver or waistline
Slightly geeky news, new case for my PC has arrived, flat packed trying to resist the urge to build it in the office. Laser cut plastic and wood with 3D printed bits, all rather swanky hopefully it all goes together well!0 -

Afternoon folks,
Mild Thursday hangover is fading at last. Quite busy still as no other barsteward is in until the new year, I'm only here until Monday so it's not too bad. Out to the pub again tonight with another group of friends.
No wobbling as I had to drive the EPO in this morning, gives me a chance to get the assortment of bottles and chocolates from under my desk home at least. Car again tomorrow as off to a couple of funerals, may well finish up in a pub after them as well.
hive me a shout over the weekend H³ and we can sort your spoke out. Need to talk to Stevo about stuff as well. Should we meet up in a pub? Piña, a competent person in the car arts game soon has it beaten out of them. I just had one of my former customers call me to say the guy that has taken over their account is much better than me as he sent them beer. I told him I just kept the beer for myself as I didn't like him.

Mine will only crap on something soft - grass, leaves. She is a fiend for walking & chasing/retrieving a ball though, not much of a sniffer. My mum's dog on the other hand spends all her time sniffing.0 -

I want a full report on Gastronomic creations over the festive season in that thread at Casa Hoppy, Hoppy.
My spaniel used to always find something a little higher up for a crap. Tree stump, tuft of grass, anything. Never understood why.
I noticed first thing in the morning, I would let him out and he would always want to go when the cat went.
So I followed him sneakily. It took me a few attempts but there one morning, there was this very neat pile of leaves and steam rising from it. And there was my dog; gently scraping the leaves off the top to get access to the source of the steam. :roll:seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Yeah mine has a habit of sniffing anything that moves to much, slow blowing leaves is endless fun for her!

Mine has a preference for fox s**t. Likes to roll in it as well which is really vile. Luckily he hates getting a bollocking and the full body shampoo and hose down that results from doing this so he usually thinks twice about it these days.Pinno wrote:I noticed first thing in the morning, I would let him out and he would always want to go when the cat went.
