i worked in a kitchen when i was younger, got sent for a leg of samon, which i would find in the freezer next to the box of chicken lips! i never found the tartan food coloruing either! had much fun sending live lobsters up in the dumb waiter, to the reasurant floor, and listening to the girls screaming when they opened the door.

in halfords the other day, i cam across camoflage paint, the tin is all different colours, green brown etc. and in extremly small text on the tin it says, three colours needed to get this effect, wonder how many daft sods purchased thinking it would be camo spray!

I seem to remember sending apprentices for buckets of steam, striped paint, blue sparks for the grind stone etc etc. Unfortunately, as an first week apprentice myself, I remember telling a foreman to go practice the anchient and noble art of self impregnation when he tried to convince me to go to the local labour exchange to get wet time cards. I wasn't about to fall for that one.

I think the longest we got someone to hang around for was 2 and half hours. We had a work experience bod in and I sent him round the corner to the weight manufacturer to pick up the long weight I had ordered.

Rang the manufacturer while the guy was on his way round to warn him of his impending arrival.

Work experience bloke duly arrives and announces he is "here for the long weight Jon ordered". Manufacturer says they are just finishing calibrating it and will be ready shortly. At regular intervals he pops his head round the corner to announce, "nearly ready".

2 and a half hours later the work experience lad quietly leaves the manufacturer and comes back.





















He didn't get the joke.  :(

Was there a long weight on there? Always a good one when I was in the weighing industry.


There's plenty of those in sash windows!

I particularly like the left handed screwdriver - I was surprised to find out only tightens screws on one side a a vehicle - I've obviously been doing it wrong all those years  ::) .  I see the old favourites are all there - skyhooks and round tuits, etc  ;D

If anyone has won the lottery recently Registration Transfers have HOV3R  for £9,000   !!

That doesn't spell anything!  :P

If anyone owns a Mitsubishi L200 in a couple of years they can buy my reg off me when my truck goes back. L200 HOV.

In a similar vein, followed a Jag the other day with the plate UPU 51R. It was spaced like this UP U 51R, found it mildly amusing!

Tick the "Always stay logged in" box when you log in and you won't need to log in ever again on that computer (or, change the 60 minutes to whatever you want.

Man drowns in whisky vat headline from yahoo news to-day. If you are going to go, this has got to one of the best options.
