All his posts have been deleted, haven't they?

Just the whole situation and the PM posted at the end. You really have to be an utter berk for this set of lackadaisical mods to be spurred into action.

I posted a thread after midnight the other day asking for help with batch converting some videos. He called me a pirate, I was too tired to play his game. He called me a miserable humorless bastard. I asked for the thread to be deleted. Because I'm a humorless, miserable bastard. I then asked the mods to ban him ask him to stop being a prick. I'm not sorry.

Filthy pirate.

I can see his point, I think the majority of the time I enjoyed surfing the most was sitting out back with my mates around me and the pre season sun shining and watching a set roll through and not taking any waves, just soaking up the vibes from whoever was out there on a cool day before it get taken over and then seeing the same people in the crowded summer time out back and giving a nod because you're local now and skimming over the wreck in Holywell Bay is a hting of beauty and it's New Year's Eve and freezing but it is the same people out there, the same worn Golfs in the unmanned car park, the same notes on the windscreens saying "we're staying for a pint" and that's probably how it should be. Not a sled in the mountains in a pay to play.

Lovely prose.

Turns out I'm not going to have some chips, because all the chippies are shut. What?

I did so der when you wrote that if your chop ship was open in Sundays. I think ours may be, but I know a good deal aren't.

It's madness, that's what it is.

Luckily the Chinese could do me salt and pepper chips. Poor second, but still chips.

I've heard about chips in Chinese shops being 'different' to other chips but never tasted one. How odd.

BikNorton · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 10078

Salt and pepper chips are oven chips mixed with fried onions and chillies. And then, unfortunately, drowned in salt.

Pundabaya · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 5016

The chips our chinese does are really nice. Better than most chippies round here. Though their mahoosive onion rings are even better.

I keep a mental note of any chip shop in my vicinity that is open on Sundays. You never know when they're going to come in handy.

I had 11,500 when I returned to work after being off a few weeks. Even after deleting everything more than four days old it took me a day and a half to get through them, because the number of emails where they just kept re-emailing asking if I was back yet and could I take a look at (...) even though my Out Of Office was on.

That's the one, and none of them bothered to speak to the person that I suggested they should contact in my Out Of Office....

God bless the Ignore button in Outlook, as well as copious use of rules.

At one point I attached a macro to a rule to strip shitty HTML backgrounds from one specific sender as they were obnoxious, but it only seemed to work once, and then let the rest through, so I added her as a sender to my DELETE rule.

The 11,500 was with my rules applied, which filtered out all group teports and auto-emailed docs, etc.

It's surprising how many hundreds of emails a day I'd get. Wonder what my email will look like after a year and eight weeks of maternity leave (not really, I simply don't care if there's a million. Delete-o-tron).

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2015 13:47

Well, you get roughly two emails every working minute, so you'll have about 270,000.

Fly tipping up since tip permits were introduced. Luckily, my local counciller is Green Party so should be dead keen to get the email what I just wrote to her complaining about it all. I emailed the other two and every fink.

When I moved a few years ago I went to an area with permits, and they refused to let me unload some cardboard into the recycling at the local tip, to the point of saying that he would actually use force to stop me!

They insisted that I should have been given a permit by the previous owner, but when I explained that it was a new build house so there was no such person they didn't seem to understand that this was an issue.

Since then I've got a permit and have never needed to use it at any of the numerous visits I've made.

Every single time here. All checked at the gate. It is a major hassle as the last permit (about the size of a tax disc) was lost so I needed to order a copy of my council tax bill and find something else with my name and address on to prove I was who I am to get another one. If you turn up in a rented transit you need another permit as it is a commercial vehicle as transporting a 3 seat sofa in a Ka is possible.

I don't think the maths is quite right there, but that's because I hadn't said how long I'd been away for, so not your working out. I'd been off eight or ten weeks. I think it was ten.

Oh right - "few" == 3 in my head.

84,000ish, then.

You only need a permit in Nottingham if it's a commercial vehicle, which is sensible. I found this out when I took the work van full of stuff I needed rid of after the house move. He let me off but said I'd need one next time.

My local recycling centre often has a traffic queue 40+ cars deep, stretching out of the compound. All of those cars sitting there doing nothing, idling and burning petrol/diesel and polluting the atmosphere.

Yet they refuse to allow you to park up somewhere and walk in with some cardboard.

I'm trying to get an accountant today.

"Do you do solicitors accounts?" I ask. "Yes" they reply. "Oh joy, because I need an audited set of accounts because I hold client monies" I exclaim. "We don't do those" is the reply from at least four accountants.

Scumbags.
