Be Excellent To Each Other

It's probably about eight metres to the fusebox going via walls, and the old cable appears to be 2.5mm stuff.

Ouch. OK, carry on.

Yeah, that's going to really restrict the gas flow. Get it replaced.

You might have got away with 4mm but your man probably wants 6 in there.

It will retard the pies.

Just lay three

A cooker can draw 30A with everything switched on. A 2.5mm^2 cable is only good for 20A. It could go on fire.

okay, I now officially want an iPhone.

You know I said that yesterday Mrs Chinny won an obscene amount of chocolate? Something like 8 eggs and countless other stuff?

The same amount just turned up again!

That's most kind of you!

FUCKING RAIN, YOU USELESS BASTARD COUNTRY.

Client Interviewing mock tomorrow. Must not giggle. Or make jokes.

There is something most excellently cute about a law school wanting people to throw themselves out of an aeroplane for charity.

We've been getting very very light (and very very brief) showers today, so there may still be hope. If I see any big dark clouds I'll send them down your way.

Card sorted. Decided to bite the bullet and pay the 13p a minute to phone the states (as it's better than paying Tiscali 15p a minute and being on the phone for an hour NOT to get answers on a borked net connection) and the RMA has gone through. Once they recieve the card it's 5 business days then I get a new one

Not sure it'll be a 8600gts 256mb but whatever I can get I'll sell on and get a replacement.

So, having got back home it does indeed appear that we now have 3 kilos of chocolate products to eat. Blimey.

Craster: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8633597.stm

All airports open at 10pm tonight. Craster can go on holiday! Unless they're still dealing with the backlog on Friday, I guess.

Given that conditions are not much different to a couple of days ago, does this mean the CAA is suggesting that airports were kept shut unnecessarily then?

EDIT - according to the news just then, the engine manufacturers changed their minds...!

So, reading between the lines, the government has cajoled the CAA into abandoning their precautionary principle and opening the airspace.

No, don't be daft. The government never makes decisions because big business tells it to.

Oh.

It looks like the manufacturers themselves have raised their 'ash tolerance' levels. Still, if I'm going to take a gamble, it might as well be on the way to VEGAS, BABY! YEAH!

Swinger is my Bible on how to pick up the ladeez.

Speaking of which, do I rock my stripey criminal defence suit, or the more sombre civil litigation suit tomorrow?

Let me stop you there.

I'll collaborate and listen.

Rock out with your cock out

Ooh.. Blood and two expansions are coming to GOG in a couple of days. I think I'll be picking that up.

Good news everyone. Those crazy French have invented a way of you not showing your arse crack in public:

So you're literally putting it all on black, huh?

Racist.

Looks like a motorbike tank protector

Walking out the train station a couple of minutes ago, an aeroplane flew overhead.

The world is a cold, dark, place when, under current circumstances you cannot point at the sky shouting " A FLY PLANE, A FLY PLANE, OH MAGICAL WORLD!!!!" without getting the slightest comedic reaction.

Incidentally, for the good people who wished me well earlier, the good thing happened, and I am rather drunk.

Did Andy Bear make it?

THERE'S A PLANE IN THA SKY-EE!

Eventually. I'm not one to call a good friend and gentleman a fucking retard.

































But...

Congrats, Sir. Sorry I didn't make it for drinkies.

Well done Mr Pie!

Nah, he's simply red.

Having now done my basic snowboarding lessons, I decided to spend an hour after work today on the main slope at our local snow centre. This is the first time I have done so without there being an instructor present and it took all the concentration and willpower in my body to stop any poo from coming out whilst I was there at the top, looking down the slope I was about to chuck myself down with a plank of wood tied to my feet.

I had a lot of fun though, and only fell off twice. Both times I fell whilst trying to do a toe-edge turn, and I have now discovered that falling over and hurtling down a ski slope on your belly with a plank of wood tied to your feet is a much less painful and traumatic experience than doing exactly the same but on your arse.

I had the first barbecue of the year earlier today. On a balcony. Wasn't too bad, even though half the food had to be discarded as it wasn't cooking properly.

Man, I missed barbecues. Last time I remember having one was the Saturday after the Doctor Who episode 'The Doctor's Daughter' aired. My memory is really good, see?

Last time I had a barbeque was new years eve. So not quite this year, but close enough.

That's an awesome looking phone. It looks as if it weighs about 50kg and could probably withstand a nuclear blast.

What's the story about chip cards Rick?

Operation Repair The 360's Fan was a complete success. I can't see that I am never going to need to use the Torx screwdrivers again, though. Until the next Eggbox repair, of course.

Well done Riles - I assume the good thing is that they've made you a partner?

My bike is "out for delivery".

Interviewing at 1020, forgotten what happens if someone opts out of Landlord and Tenant Act, I think the lease just terminates and that's it.

Well done Riles!

My RC car has some torx screws. Doesn't yours?

Congratulations, Riles.

Many fixtures that the public have access to are also Torx.

Nope - as far as I know, all Tamiya cars use Philips or slot. And usually slot, at that.



oooooh, interesting....

They're more usually security Torx, which is the same but with a pip in the middle so your normal torx bits don't fit
