Is that like the Scottish telephone operator asking the guy "is there Money in the box"? and he replies "Nae, I'm in here by myself"!

Is off for a field trip to Glen Clova today with college!

and it was a grand day out! Including the worlds only geomorphological joke as told by our class tutor.....

And here I am sat in an office looking out over a beautiful sunrise over the Tay and feeling not a tiny jot of jealousy [1]

I went downstairs earlier, saw that the postie had delivered a letter from HMRC.

"Oh damn" thought I, "a demand"

No, a refund is due of $large_amount

Which part? He could really have bought you a whole pair

MattH · « **Reply #4791 on:** 20 January, 2012, 02:20:20 pm »

But have you seen how much those things cost? You could buy a bike for that!
Anyway, this thread is useless without pics...

On One are picking the parts for my N+1 in their warehouse today. It's going into the build queue

It will be built and dispatched on the same day, I can't wait for it to arrive!

The person I'm covering for has been signed off sick for another 4 weeks. Obviously I wouldn't wish long term injury on anyone, but her loss is my gain.
By the time that's up I'll have stunned & impressed them so much with my wonderfulness they'll surely find something else for me to do. Maybe.

L CC · « **Reply #4794 on:** 20 January, 2012, 06:04:26 pm »

O, and the builders are finished, I can go home and see my children.
