Be Excellent To Each Other

The number of wasps I have killed today has just doubled. It's now 2.

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.

7 hours after I get in to work I can log on to the network. Might go home early.

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.

'elf and safety, innit?

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.

Also: hnnnngh.

Is that like my "several" == 7 in my head?

(Because they begin with the same four letters, obviously).

Its an increasing problem. SAR accounts (and others) require accountants to be registered auditors, but the increasingly low numbers of statutory audits means that a lot of small accountants have dropped their audit registration as the potential income doesn't cover the cost (and associated risk). Even when I was doing audit SARs were a pain in the tits.

We can do them, but we'll be too expensive (Canary Wharf innit) and I can't do mates rates on audit. Where are you based, I may have some contacts?

In the event that this was the post that I was asked to help Saturnalian on, I've got no wasp guilt tips.

Just outside someplace, Leicestershire, if you know anyone who might assist.

No idea why the dimensions of this bin are best understood by positioning it next to a drawn naked eunuch,

Quite a tall one too.

Russell?

Trusted the forecast and didn't pack a coat. It's now raining. Joy.

It's just a short bin, isn't it? I assume that's what the crudely drawn lower half of naked Slender Man is meant to illustrate.

85cm is about 34". Looking at the scale of that drawing, he must have about an extra 6" of inner seam measurement, barefoot, to go. So he must have an inseam of about 40"+, which is massively tall.

What is it with this forum and bins?

I emailed my MP about it this morning, too.

One should go in the other.

IT'S NOT EVEN BIN TALKING DAY!

It was a bank holiday this week, so different schedules apply.

Obligatory

The forum is running rather slow for me since last night.

I noticed that too.

It's something to do with the "who is online" box. I'll fix it!

There we go.

Zoom!

All that discussion about the bin diagram and I forgot to order it. Tits.

The tits would be really big as well!

Goodness, maybe the fact that it appears to have 55 guests. Huh.

(52 of those are probably spiders, of course)

Huh, apparently not.

...Geeky dimensions, risqué nudity and above all BINS - this post has it all, in the very finest Beex traditions.
/doffs cap to APOD

Not in my burg, apparently. As I was away on Monday, I now have to deal with up to 4 weeks worth of recycling waste.

I'll cope.

It should zoom even more now.

Why all the guests, what've we done?

We so pretty.

/flashes eyelashes

Nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything.

It turns out we're getting somewhat hammered by an IP that originates from this server host: https://www.linkedin.com/company/b2-net-solutions

We may be under a really, really crappy DDOS attack. Or it may be like that time the Google robot went insane and started trying to cache the entire site once every second.

Lulz. It looks like they're a hosting company, so who they are doesn't tell us a lot.

Hmm, my missus checked her junk mail box last night and she'd received over 30 spoofed emails from LinkedIn yesterday evening. Not saying there's a connection or anything, just an observation.

[edit] just checked mine and apart from the usual suspects I got one from thefirefaerie spamming me a link to a site telling me I could be earning $8k Pcm or something. No wonder she can afford to keep Cras' in the champagne and cheese he's accustomed to...

I think Grim... was just using the linkedin site to point to the company, b2netsolutions (or ServerMania) rather than suggesting it was a linkedin host.

I mentioned us on the twitters yesterday in conversation with a local radio DJ, but I doubt his followers would continue to be interested this long after.

Yes indeed.

52,660 requests since midnight. Huh.

You don't think achilles has launched a DDOS attack on us!? Oh noes! And so on.
