What have you done today thread?

[Noggin]

While waiting for my tyres to be fitted I had my first Costco Hotdog.

I dunno how they do it, massive hotdog and a bottom less coke for £1.50.

Loss leader, hoping you’ll spend loads in there as you’ll get hooked on the hot dogs!

Mind you, the coke comes as a syrup in a 5 or 10 litre box and is pennies per glass and there’s unlikely to be any actual meat in the dog

Been on a call with colleagues in our Manchester office, to arrange a joint London/Manny quiz night for the charity a colleague and his wife set up in memory of his daughter. She died last year, aged just 14.

We were talking about doing rounds based on the things she loved, such as the colour pink, Disney & music, plus also a round on blood transfusions, which is something that was vital in her care, to get people to think about donating if they don't already. My colleague, her dad, was on the call.

Trying to put something together now but I'm snotting up and this room is suddenly very dusty. I can't imagine what the family must still be be going through.

Edit: just got this through: Probably also worth mentioning – when background music is playing, please avoid Natasha Beddingfield: Unwritten, as this was M’s funeral song

I'm gone.

Was Wednesday but basically I had to bail on going to a bike show in Lyon because I had to work nights and from experience I know that I can recover from a night shift and a full day of stuff by the weekend!! Add in about 5 hours driving to get there and back. So I bailed



Still makes me laugh as, whilst I know most seasonnaires can get their hands on whatever ‘stuff’ they want, I never expected this guy to suggest it

Electrical faffery on the F350...

Did they have electricity when they built that? I though it was all coke, gas or steam in those days.

[MrLongbeard]

Popped into Worcester, dropped 400 quid at vision express for some new eyes, left before anything else tried to rape my wallet

mouse chasing mad creature.

Clever stuff getting the mug and drink to match the cat. Or vice versa.

LOL!, it's a '96, one year newer than the ZX11

Ran out of sodding driving hours - three minutes from the edit

Luckily there was someone else there to come and get my vehicle and I drove the Passat back to the depot. If people didn’t drove 20kmph under the speed limit on dry roads i might have made it back

Dropped something very fucking heavy on my foot/ankle.

Technically, Muz dropped his end first, and I couldn't hold it on my own. So it's all his fault, obvs.
Apparently my screams were the stuff of nightmares. Whereas I mostly remember just shouting 'get it off, get it off'.

I don't think it's broken, it's currently wrapped in ice and elevated, I suspect it will be one big bruise come the morning though. FML.

Spent $20 & now the F350 has a fitted carpet in the bed

[ZRX61]

Sliced a finger with a razor blade. Not sure of the damage yet as I promptly buried said digit in a paper towel.. which is getting redder.

Stings a bit. Bugger.

(Yesterday) I replaced a 2 gang light switch, two 1 gang light switches and a bathroom pull light switch. That's me a qualified electrician then. The light switches are polished black and have a nice quality click - I turn them on or off when I'm passing for no reason other than to be smug. I annoyed the family by telling them to "Give that switch a go. Go on. Try it. Nice isn't it? Did you hear that click? Quality eh? Now try the other". For my next trick I'll be replacing the double wall sockets with double wall sockets with USB outlets.

I did something ( vaguely) similar to Penny. We were in Wells, ambling around aimlessly as ever and thought "hot chocolate". She headed towards a cafe, i dutifully followed, but tripped over the curb. For only the second or third time in my life i went flat out, my fall broken by an alloy chair, which caught P's ankle and toe. Mahoosive bruise results. Not broken, but bruised, and even if the toe was broken, the treatment is" go home and get over it". Best advice was not yo use ibruprofen pills as they inhibit bonee healing, but to use ibruprofen gel, which really helped.

That's a whole new interpretation of "bench press"

The gel goop my ortho gave me is something called Diclofenac Sodium. Has a nice medicinal smell to it.
