Fitted a new MAF sensor to Father-in-laws picasso and cleared the fault codes. He is one very happy chappy. Mother-in-law is even happier as apparently he was lobbing toys out of his pram saying it was new car time and he hadn't worked all his life to have an unreliable car etc blah! :lol:

Waiting for my wife to call to be picked up from A&E. She stacked her ebike today and her wrist has increased its swelling throughout the day so her colleagues took her to A&E. Ho hum...

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about any of that silly shite, we've got so many different colours, nationalities and races that no one cares, we just get on with the job and life in general. I'm also a minority.

Bailed on it after 10 minutes as it suddenly dawned on me I'd done it before. Probably should have stayed listening though as I didn't remember any of the correct answers! :lol: Breakout rooms, ffs! :roll:

IIRC something like 140+ nationalities there.

That said, there seemed to be a four level hierarchy, with certain origin workers at the lowest level and a very limited number at the top level. I am deliberately being vague.

When I was in Canada visiting family in 1985, it was the centenary year of Canada or summat.

It showed that all sorts of nations came and nobody was first.
So everybody really was equal.

It's on the agenda now I believe. 'First nation people are using the words 'cultural genocide' in regards to their treatment at the hands of Europeans. Bit like Australia I think; the Europeans come, think it's theirs because they have 'found' it and oppress the people that have lived their for maybe thousands of years.

I was sitting indoors sweating like a Transit on an MOT ramp, so I've come outside and sat under the brolly. Its just started to rain and all the little LED lights have come on and there's now a slight cooling breeze. Lovely....
