Morning, dry, mild ,gusty wind, dog walked, kettle on coffee this morning, I am seriously thinking of retiring early, I am really get fed up with all of the bull that’s required to do a days work.
Have a good day0 -
Oxoman, I have considered part time , but being electrical bias , it means leaving the trade so to speak, being industrial, gas oil , it means sitting another compex course which I find rather tedious, boring, waste of my time having completed five in my time, all of the h and s bull, risk assessments for every little thing you do, once upon a time we just used common sense and survived , what’s the world coming to?, rant overoxoman said:Morning All. Dark and dry at the minute for a change. Builder/landscaper finished so planning to disappear on bike for a few hours, for some much needed me time. LD I feel your pain, just be aware it takes time to sort all out. I'm still getting my figures and stuff together, covid is certainly not helping. Suspect my bosses have realised what I'm up to and backed off, may look at part time stuff if something comes up I like. Might be worth you considering something like that LD.
Like I say seriously thinking about it while I still have a few years left to enjoy life.

Bit damp this morning. Managed to get up and go for an early morning jaunt to TE Stockwell's neon empire which was surprisingly busy.
Might start applying for jobs as an industrial electrician this afternoon

I think you'll find that all supermarkets are gonna be busy with impending lockdown.
Went shopping the other day and struggled to get parking space.
Lots of trolleys full of beer. Priorities for people, innit.0 -
Ayup!
Surprisingly mild this morning on my pre-dawn commute into work. Bit blustery though. Hopefully I'll get a nice tailwind home later, to push me back up the hills to the OH's.
Preparations to be made for being Covid safe as we go Tier 2 and 3 in various parts of the business over the next few days, so sweat the details and train the staff. Joyful.
Domestic goddess duties this evening before a pub sesh pre-Tier 2 in the locale, probably my last pub booze for the foreseeable future.
Must remember to pick up a few cases of gin for the OH, she'll not survive otherwise. Luckily a good mate has a distillery nearby, so that will be another crisis solved

Impending? It happened 3 weeks ago here, not that you'd realise. The loo roll aisle was as bare last week as WS's @rse was yesterday.ballysmate said:I think you'll find that all supermarkets are gonna be busy with impending lockdown.

It was my first trip since non-essentialgate started. Can't buy socks but you can buy scotch.1 -
Bog roll disappeared about 3 weeks ago around here but has miraculously made a comeback.
Can't believe people are so stupid that they repeat the actions of 6 months ago.
There must be families out there who could suffer Delhi belly for months and still not make a dent in their supplies.0 -
I suspect we may need to do a "big shop" soon, however it'll be sensible and probably a single trolley for a family of three.
A bit grey and miserable here, might go swimming later this afternoon.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
Ready for impending lockdown by visiting friends yesterday. Today is recovery run, walk then leave London (ish) and blast back up north to the pub0

WFH today and quite mellow so far but not over the line yet. Morning call with blonde girl from the corporate comms department it was a 'cameras on' call.
Still got bog roll round these parts, though the family packs seem to be popular. Stropteen can get hold of the stuff in tier 3 Liverpool so can't be that bad."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Morning folks,
Though it may not be by the time I finish this. Another busy day of wfh and dealing with idiots remotely, I try to convey my despair at their stupidity in emails but it's much easier in person.
Did anyone else think of Leslie Grantham's fall from grace when reading thatStevo_666 said:Morning call with blonde girl from the corporate comms department it was a 'cameras on' call.
Physio appointment at the hospital later to see how the wrist is doing, I'm cautiously optimistic that surgery will not be needed. Follow up with the quack in 3 weeks, so lots of w@nking furiously before then to build my strength up.
I didn't check the daily thread yesterday, what's Thistle been doing with Spinner's aris'?thistle_(mbnw) said:The loo roll aisle was as bare last week as WS's @rse was yesterday.
Anyway, onwards and upwards...

I kept my hands above the table for the whole call. She didn't though

Bonus on a loverly walk to a cafe with friends, my food didn’t arrive, wasn’t concerned so asked for it to be taken off the bill. They then did it as a takeaway for me for free 😎 recommend Nordic near Thame

No not regulations, ex compex, it’s a cert you need to install ,maintain, and inspect electrical installations in hazardous zones, mainly gas, oil, petrol chemical plants.oxoman said:Argh, not another sparky amongst us. I'm assuming you mean the 18th regs. Seems to be a lot of smaller companies wanting to take on experienced blokes as fed up with young kids who can't do the job or constantly attached to mobile devices. When I say experienced I mean industrial sparks not house bashers.
I started with 15 edition regs at tech college along with a five year apprenticeship oxoman, that was a good few years go

Bloody good to be honest. Hope you’re all fit and well and nothing too important has fallen off. I can’t believe pinno is still swanning round like he owns the place, I’ll bring him down a peg or two, him and his crappy avatar!Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0

Welcome back Seano.
Probably one of the few on here who wants a lockdown to cancel Xmas, just so that he doesn't have to share his bath with a carp.0 -
Not sure what that says about the forum regularsseanoconn said:
