Know exactly what I need to be working on this week. Spoke to my boss on Friday and said I would have a great run at it while he was on leave this week.
Came in this morning focused with the task in mind. Have spent all morning, and will be afternoon too, working on a number of 'urgent' small tasks that must all be done by close of business.
Tell them to feck off I hear you say, but they were all from my boss on Friday evening as he was finishing up and didn't get to them before he went on leave :mad:

The Incompetent fool poochie :mad:!

TA - I want to listen to about 842397523485 songs all at the same time.

retro:electro

People taking pictures of their partners “asleep” on the sofa while cuddling either their child or dog and posting captions like “awww” or “too cute”. We know you’re not asleep Dave. You can stop pretending you’re a pretty sleeper now. We also know you more than likely have the dog in some kind of chokehold to keep him in that position. Pretty sure I can see his eyes bulging from his head.

Have the fear. Feeling lonely and missing my missus. Someone hold me.

People talking so loudly that I can't hear myself think.

Made a tit of myself in Stanstead airport last week.

Went through security and went to the wrong side to pick up my belongings. Was there for 10 mins like a clown till it dawned on me, tiredness.

I did the same thing once and also coincidentally in Stansted airport. I went to the wrong baggage carousel and waited there until the rack was empty but no sign of my suitcase. I turned by head to see my suitcase going around in circles in a baggage carousel further up. Wasted best part of an hour. Total tit.

AH gets a bad rap at times but it's not such a bad place. I know we're only usernames on a forum but there's lot of people rooting for you here Succubus if you ever feel lonely

May be you should send your missus a little text? Showing off your incredible german knowledge?


Hallo mein Schatz. Fühle mich einsam ohne dich. Bussi auf‘s Bauchi bis die Seele piept.

Hi my sweetheart. Feeling lonely without you. Kiss onto your belly till your soul is squeaking.(...of joy/pleasure)


Please report her reaction in the TH thread.:D

There is a person in the office with a persistent cough, I don't care as it doesn't bother me. There are a few angry typers also, ah every office has them. Not an issue for me.

My TA is my assistant manager who sits beside me plays the martyr. Everytime the guy coughs she starts cursing under her breath. Her reaction is more extreme than the guy just coughing. Sometime she loudly imitates him.

She also turns around and mutters about people typing loudly. I was chatting over instant messenger to someone and it wasn't banter, actually it was about work handover and I was told to stop. I must stop not because I was doing anything wrong but the other person was typing loudly.

Oh her life must be a misery Letting everything upset her.

Her reaction is more of a TA then the people just existing in an office.

It’s a VW Polo

Someone around this shape?


Fwiw, I had to change the ABS pump in one. Every so often, no brakes... Couldn't find a problem - or a light - so I took it for a spin and absolutely buried the brakes, forcing the ABS into action. For this little Polo, the motor did its thing, but then I'd no brakes after. I figured the valve to the expansion chamber was sticking open, allowing brake pressure away from the brakes.
New pump, driving happily since.

I also buried the brakes on a Megane before, only to have the wheels lock completely and remain locked for 30 seconds after.
That one got a pump fairly feckin quick...

Also changed one on a Vitara for no brakes at all. No leaks, no expanding pipes, yet no pedal.

TLDR; ABS pumps are actually marvellously adept at ****ing up in ways that don't generate any fault lights

No, it’s the newer shape one. Got it towed home earlier so we’ll see what the craic is tomorrow if he’s had a chance to have a look at it. I knew there was something wrong though, since Friday on and off I was getting a bit of kickback (if that makes sense) off the brake pedal if I hit it hard enough. Happened this morning on my way to college, and then when I got to the city, hardly any brakes at all

EDIT: my mam (And I learned to drive in it) had one that shape and the brakes used to make the most terrible squeaking noise and no mechanic could ever find a reason for it. Think I should stay away from Polos in the future :pac:

More than TA at this b1tch of a sore throat I’ve had since last Saturday! Not Saturday gone by, the one before it!
Was at doc Tuesday and only one tablet left of my antibiotic to take tonight.... still feel crocked!

RMAOK

TA for Frost and ice on the roads.

Trigger Happy

I think my cold has mutated into a sinus infection. Either that or there is something stuck up there.

The bus driver didn’t stop at the bus stop near my house so I had to walk all the way up through town

The partial loss of vision in my right eye that I know is heralding a humdinger of a migraine.

Aye, brakes are a bit important alright. If a car comes to a stop, big deal, get yer atin' off the customer, be sorry, fix it, etc etc.
If a car doesn't come to a stop....
Ah they're not much worse than any other car tbh. Granted the older shape had an appetite for it's own exhaust valves...
Might only be a rear cylinder giving out

****ers. Hate em. And you literally cannot work with one. The roaring compressor, the clattering hammers and air tools, the fuel vapours and exhaust fumes, the high powered led workshop lighting. All part and parcel of a day's work but with a migraine? Forget it..
Tried pushing through one day only to black out for a split second and puke all over the hot engine bay I was working over

There's only one thing I hate more...
"Shur I get headaches and I work away with them"...

Thank you so much for all of the love and the virtual hugs. I'm feeling very loved now, though maybe that's just because I can see Auto waving in at me through the window :pac: Ye are a bunch of lovely kind ladies



@Black Forest, I always call my wife mein schatz but I've never used that phrase about kissing her belly until her soul is squeaking so I'll give it a go tomorrow and see how she reacts

I have a rat in the house. Coming into a downstairs bathroom sink vanity cabinet. He comes in through a pipe he gnawed at, and then climbs into the cabinet, where he is stuck inside as the only way out is back out the drain he came in. So he sh'tes everywhere and leaves. I bought a 'one-way door' for the drains that I'm waiting to arrive from amazon (hopefully tomorrow) which will ultimately lock him out of our drains altogether.

Whilst I'm waiting for that, at the persistence of others, I've purchased a rat trap to catch him (personally I'm against catching him - I reckon, seen as he's locked away in a cabinet anytime he enters the house, that I should just leave him alone until he gets locked out when the drain door comes).

I know rats get a bad reputation, but at the end of the day, he's just doing what a rat does. It's not like he has a personal grudge against me.

Anyhow, he is obviously clued into how a rat trap works. The trap has been set and triggered not once, but twice, since it was installed. Both times I not only didn't get even a bit of his hair caught in it, but he ate the peanut butter bait on both occasions. I can almost sense him laughing at me.


I've moved the trap a little bit and set it a third time. If he triggers it a third time without getting caught, and eats my bait, I think I might actually be proud of him. Still annoying the life out of me that he has managed to escape twice though. €10 i'll never get back.

Lady in work telling me I look tired/sick this morning. Oh great thanks. Good to know that my new skincare regime is working then. FML.

Teeny bopper radio stations. How do people listen to nightclub music early in the morning?
January, the longest month ever. Feels like Christmas was about 2 years ago.
Text speak. It has got to a stage now where I just delete a message if I see it. It hurts my eyes trying to read it.

lavender or peppermint oil on a cotton ball will annoy him.They hate the smell so he might just go elsewhere

I'm really rooting for this little guy now! Hopefully the peppermint oil will disgust him so much that he leaves, I feel like he's already beaten death twice

People who takes ages at Dublin bikes terminals. Sometimes the difference between walking and cycling around Dublin is marginal time wise and if takes someone a couple of minutes to get themselves organised it negates the point for me!!
