My job survived the latest round of redundancies, didn't seem appropriate to put it on the makes you happy thread but I am glad.

I survived seven rounds of reundancies over 21 years until the company got taken over and we all went. In the early years I thought "thank fuck, I've got a mortgage to pay", when it finally came I thought "thank fuck, freedom at last".

Out of interest, how long DO top quality plugs last these days before they need replacing on a modern 4T engine?

My 10R developed a low running roughness due to plugs at around 34k+

I may have changed them earlier if access hadn't been such a massive pain in the balls.

I hear 12k mentioned,but I reckon a set of iridium will do twice that at least.

The Iridium's are supposed to last at least double normal plugs.

I had a MrBishi car with a transverse mounted V6. The intake got in the way of the rear bank, so the manufacturer specified iridium's for the rear bank and normal for the front back and the front to be changed twice as often as the rears.

ISTR the flat engine Ferraris require an engine drop to get at the plugs

Something else will probably die catastrophically before the plug need doing anyway.

Been for a ride in the sunshine, not far but very therapeutic.

I am itching to paint my concrete staircase but the cats and dogs are what is stopping me. Wife and me are fine as i was thinking just paint one side and when dry paint the other. Cant see the animals sticking to one side though.

Sliced the end of a finger with a REALLY FUCKING SHARP serrated knife. Did the usual thing of stuffing finger into opposite armpit, then wrapped it in a blue shop towel. It's been about 20 minutes & I still haven't looked at it...

So here we are, about 5 weeks since the Jan 3rd visit with the ortho...
Called their office today to ask when I might expect surgery.

Fucker tells me "well he's not going to the hospital these days so we need to see about scheduling you with another surgeon...."

WT actual F???

I ask to see the guy who did my TKR & get told they have to put in a fresh approval for an office visit with him & after that, another fucking approval for the surgery...

It's going to be a goddamn YEAR between separating the fracture & getting the surgery at this rate.

Interesting. Quite a bit of fuss made by her friends about nasty and spiteful comments on social media! Not many women walk out on their kids though...

Purely anecdotal in the newspaper shop gossip - but 'appen searches of their financial affairs have revealed financial woes and a business going into liquidation on the day she went missing, apparently the bloke had an affair, things hadn't been going well for a while, etc.
There are even rumours of a stranger being in the village and an abandoned haunted house nearby suddenly having a strange occupant who is uncooperative with enquiries - village gossip is mental.

I'm not much into ghoul type watching so I haven't bothered to stalk them on the internet to find out, but it's possible that none of it is true, or all of it is true - and even if it is all true it might have nothing to do with her disappearance.

It's unusual though and it likely to be a complicated story.

Yup. Just read pretty much all of that on twitter and the £100k gofund me page, which was halved and then taken down! There is certainly more going on than we're led to believe about the idyllic family living in an idyll! Lets hope those kiddies still have a mother anyway...

Curiouser and curiouser...

The search for Nicola Bulley has been extended after a specialist diving team said it had completed its work.

Peter Faulding, from Specialist Group International, said his team were pulling out as the mother-of-two was "categorically not" in the area of river where police believe she fell in.

Ms Bulley, 45, was last seen walking her dog by the river in St Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire 12 days ago.

The search has now been extended as far as Knott End and Morecambe Bay.

Mr Faulding, who was called in by the family to help with the search, said: "We've done very thorough searches all the way down to the weir. Police divers have dived it three times, extremely thoroughly.

"That area is completely negative - there is no sign of Nicola in that area. The main focus will be the police investigation down the river, which leads out to the estuary."

Just got a permanent ban from Twitter

I’m assuming it just an algorithm thing because I hardly ever post and my posts aren’t that bad.

Well that’s what I tell myself anyway.

Anyway I’ve appealed.

I left a few weeks ago, gone to Mastodon. Having the whole thing being run by a petulant child wasn't working out for me.

I've never seen the point of it. Got loads of stuff forwarded to me. Nada.
Seems like a kiddy program.
Not seen anything about it that I like.

The same Mastadon that's run by a bunch of petulant children?
