Anyway I've got to go and help our kid move house. Bought it just before xmas moving in in less than two months. We don't **** about up norff
There's less arguing on the arguments thread, than there is on all the others. You lot are crap at this. Someone try a superfluous ffs, that usually works.
A bit of pointless pedantry usually gets people going. Shall we talk about the use of "FAO of"? Is it the new ATM machine?
I was going to say that. Does my nut in. Yet when you correct snotty nosed kid cashiers in Aldi et al, do they thank you for increasing their acronymical awareness? Do they ****.
And yet... This has now entered our vocabulary and is regularly used by people who have no clue whatsoever as to what it means or indeed what it actually entails. Example: Hysterical women in offices (sorry Charlie this is anecdotal rather than generic but I bet it extrapolates), who suffer palpitations because they've just used a printer which has a sticker on it stating that it was due for a portable appliance test 4 days previously. They could have been electrocuted! Or swallowed up by the print feed mechanism or something. So you look at the printer to check that the cable is in properly. Check the plug. Feel that it's not getting too hot. Slap on a new sticker, dated in pen for a year's time. They get back to printing in a safe and secure environment, happy in the knowledge that they cannot now die in an unfortunate printing catastrophe for at least another 365 days. Then they go home and make a cup of tea using a kettle no one's checked in 10 years, switch on the TV running through a gang of 4 plugs feeding into one socket, switch on lights last rewired in the 1980s. etc, etc, etc. Electricity. Basically it's magic ****.
We charge by the hour Mr Shackleton. Dose £25 an hour suit you sir? I've been down there this afternoon and had a look around. Sucks air in through teeth..... When would you like us to start Mr Shackleton sir?
They call it the Health & Safety AT WORK Act for a reason. Imagine the paperwork if it applied out in the real world! I once had the PAT Test conversation with an H&S Manager I used to work with. It was going so well and we were both somewhat smugly laughing until he said (and 100% categorically wasn't joking) that "The one that gets me is MOT Test, they even print it on the paperwork!"...
Why is your breath hot when you breathe out with a widened mouth, but cold when you blow out with pursed lips? What's cooling it down?
