I'll be watching that later. Maybe in the pub, depending on how today goesMingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 4:54 pm Off to my first ever footy match (at the tender age of 53). My work colleagues are dragging me along to Brighton United v Manchester Rovers (or something). Apparently we have to meet at a pub first to “have a few” before the match.

Having a dish of tea after some exertions in the shed of shite. I've built a box for the spare wind turbine blades, sharpened an axe, tidied a bit and packed some Ebay items.

Up early to finish off loading the caravan for couple of nights away. I say loading, the girlfriend obviously thinks we are away for a month or two, I’ve got my other best pants, a sock and a clean t shirt.

Re: A right now thread
You should have used the iron. Crank it up and press it firmly onto the salmon skin, sort of like they do in some Japanese restaurants . You'll need a metal plate to put on the ironing board of course. Do that, you'll be back in the good books no worries.
PS How were the crisps?

Horrible actually. They sort of blew around in the airfryer and were just soggy on some bits and burnt on others. I'll stick to the grill from now on!Count Steer wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 4:33 pmYou should have used the iron.

Re: A right now thread
Sitting on a sofa like a total zombie after 5hrs kip, last nights commissioning went pear shaped due to the contractors software and project people not realising that the issues we had a month ago at one site with a certain configuration would probably occur at another site with the same configuration. So after getting all the ducks in a row, having to liaise with two railway control rooms and two UKPN control rooms to coordinate our HV switching it was all for naught and the guys onsite had to revert/roll back all the wiring to how it was originally configured and we try again another night once the software people pull their finger out of their arse.

Having a mug of tea after emptying the van of treasures from the tip. A mostly working 250mm table saw, the NVR on off switch doesn't latch, is the main attraction.

Sitting here wondering how it is that if opiates don’t work, there are no other options offered. Pretty peeved TBF
