thursday to the maquis

'ning

brekkie, lazy start, see punter, head to airport, fly to different land of sands

sungod

it's wholly halal as i'm several hours ahead, though at times feels like hundreds of years in the past

just been out on my terrace for a few rays and contemplating the waves, the lawn extends all the way to the beach, most scenic

Morning
Windy here too, and wet.
WFH this morning before going to get my long suffering knees looked at.

Morning, the wind has just decided to get stronger and stronger , dog already walked a very relaxed day for me colonoscopy tomorrow, so very little food and a litre of moviprep to drink

tlw1

Also WFH and got very wet out there running with the dog and shoot lights as the wife had put the good batteries with the ones that need charging

Parents evening means no pub

step83

Morning, blowy today wheelie bins at and trampolines will be scattered about later no doubt.

Day of IT Geekery trying to set up some random applications for things and fudging a VPN to work. Much fun apparently!

Well the smoke is blowing sideways in The Big Smoke at the moment.

Currently is dispute with HR, aka RPD (Recruitment Prevention Department) who are currently trying to block us making an offer to a potential minion that matches his current pay in a pretty much identical job because their desk based bench marking exercise 'shows' that the offer is well above the market rate :roll: . Going to send the boys round if they don't back down pretty quickly.

Is it going to be an epic like that Picolax thread?

I thought that the two might be mutually conducive.

Have you considered Pinno's pop up shop thug hire?

Bit blowy this morning but it's sunny and reasonably calm now (before tomorrow's deluge). I expect to see Noah.

Took Mrs P out for her birthday lunch a day early on account of the above.
She didn't twig the excuse for taking the porker for a spin.

Laters.

Problem solved - gave them my best 'T2' stare and made them realise that they really didn't want to take this to the next level up.

Edwyns Emporium probably is the 7/11.

sort of - its Edwyn's new off shoot from the Emporium. He wanted to have an empire of Emporii but couldn't find enough buildings palatial enough so has started taking over the world one small stage at a time.

He thinks the 7/11 moniker will take off and hopefully catch on - snappy marketing on his part I think.

would have been cooler if you would have converted your arm to a scythe like blade and smashed the place up.

I'll save it for when implied threats and looking menacing aren't enough.

Well, if Wales gets independence after the rest of the yookay leaves the Ewho? and then Wales joins the Ewho?, i'm moving to Wales.
After all, it is the land of my fathers.










The w@nkers.

You'll be lucky - Wales voted to leave...your best chance is to stay in Sweatland (it's also minimum safe distance from most of us)

Things are pretty t1ts up there as it stands. After Brexit, it will be even worse. Then they'll beg for mercy.
Actually, i've just talked myself out of moving to Welshland.

wales, don't go there

on the second bubbly, ba lounge has the ambience of meh, makes it a cut above the typical ba lounge, i hate ba, may go for third bubbly

ffs now there's a noisy eater nearby, need a taser, or a glock, maybe i can glass him with the empty

Chuck a (whole) pineapple at him.

sungod

ba don't do pineapple, another serious failing on their part

can't wait to get on plane, drink more, zonk out until heathrow

any good news? not been paying attention, saw may on the news last week, and thought "don't you think she looks tired" (as in dr who reference), though bojo looked even worse, perhaps there's a spooky dorian gray thing going on vs. his better brother

Little surprise. You would look like that if hell was awaiting you. Tusk underlined the fact. He didn't sketch a plan and the full force of the realisation has hit him.

sungod

i'd bring back hanging, drawing and quartering, the brexiters wanted a return to the past, seems only fair to give it to them

bags i get to draw farage

btw any news of t47? i worry for him and the tabbies

T47 is busy fixing yet another annexe just simply to support an array of perfectly angled solar panels.
Here's a sample of the complexity:

Today I finished the wall (well I say finished, it still needs a quick render and some paint) bolted the frame to the top of the wall mounted the solar panel on the adjustable frame, set the legs to winter angle (52.5 degrees, I know you would ask) [I wouldn't] ran the cable inside a (convoluted?) conduit around the wall tops and in through the wall (seriously long drill bit) into the studio. I also have summer legs for 13degree angle and I will change over around spring equinox this will maximise output with minimal effort.

Plugged it into the magic box and voila...power in! I had to try and find things to plug in to reduce the power in the battery to allow the charge in! Tomorrow I will find the biggest wattage items I have and plug them all in at the same time to get the battery down to about 80% just so I can test the output of the panel at different times of day. It will take about 4 hours to charge back up to 100%.lithium likes to be drained by 80% and filled to about 80% in an ideal world.

Do you understand any of that, 'cos I don't?

sungod

sounds like he's in fine fettle

sun angle above horizon varies through the year, you must see that up in the far north, maybe next year he'll upgrade to sun tracking panels

maybe a 4th bubbly to celebrate, just realised this is the thursday thread, but i'm so wasted after umpteen flights to various sandy places with ferocious alcohol prices i can barely say "wibble"

oooo i think it's soon boarding, may totter off for a spruce up

ttfn

You meant to say 'wobble' or 'wiggle', I understand.
