Be Excellent To Each Other

I see. I've been playing that, but not by that name, since I was about 5.

Explains a lot, really.

In that case, the Wikipedia page is inaccurate (with regards to the creation date).

Wikipedia? Inaccurate? Shirley Knott.

I'll let it pass this time, as I never told anyone about it.

And remember, there are two kinds of people in the world. Those who think there are two kinds of people in the world and those who don't.

That's what the third group of people want you to think.

Those bastards can fuck right off.

My lady got her driving license back today after it being suspended for four months. Can't even tell you how happy we are, yay!

Basically they found out she'd had a stroke over three years ago and decided to suspend her license. Much annoys but so happy to get it back

Just stuck in a third month of 71% accuracy against a call I made in January. It was 81% for April against the call I made in march. Over 83 lines.

Accuracy =1-(total absolute difference across all skus from forecast/forecast)

So if there were 2 lines and I said they would do 100 each but line 1 did 50 and line 2 did 150 that would be 1-(100/200)=50% accurate.

I should probably get a thank you for this....

Home after a great week in Yorkshire with my parents

My son loved it, my dad has big garden as well as a field at the back with chickens in. All the surrounding fields are full of sheep and cows so he has come back with these noises added to his collection!

We went to a forest one day that is surrounded on all sides by open spaces. They have turned it into a Red squirrel reserve. I didn't know that squirrels will not travel in open spaces so the forest had none living there in the first place and greys (which carry a disease that kills reds) can't get in

Was brilliant to see so many, I've only seen one once years ago in Scotland, they had a feeding area with a hide around it, they would come and run around your feet if you stood there long enough! Never quite pulled that off as my son was so excited to see them.

Sounds like you had an idyllic time. Really happy for you

Well today I had to switch out a motherboard, which is always a cause of stress. I had a RAID 0 array on the controller on my old board that I was certain I was going to lose. Imagine my sheer shock when I fitted a completely different board, fired it up and my RAID array was alive and well !

YAY.

I've forgot to download some programmes on the Internet for a few weeks.

NAY.

I've now got 4 episodes of 2 Broke Girls and 3 episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

YAY! Colon hyphen closed parenthesis.

Forgot again

Balls.

That's shit. What's more shit is that they don't automatically charge you if they have your details anyway.

They certainly do - I’ve paid the fines enough times!

I don't understand why they don't do this. My car is registered with TFL so if I enter the congestion charge area they automatically deduct the money without me having to do it personally, why can't train car parks do this if you're parking there everyday?

Because then they lose the opportunity to charge you much larger sums of money by way of fines, I'd guess.

If so, it is rather cynical.

Costs v. Benefit?

Sure they could do this. just enter the number plate and if registered charge for a full day worst case if registered.

A few years ago my council started charging for garden waste bin collection. For the first few years they issues different coloured stickers each year. Now its a bar code which looks to be scanned by the bin lorry when they put the bin in (was watching them the other day as my son loves lorries and diggers!)

You can ring up the council if you forget to pay and once payment is cleared your bin will be approved for collection instantly.

We had a small leak in the bathroom, which turned out to be coming from the collar on the flexible pipe attached to the back of the toilet. It was just a slow drip, but couldn't be fixed by trying to adjust the collar.

Called Homeserve, with whom we have plumbing insurance, expecting them to give us an appointment within a couple of days, but someone was with us within a couple of hours. Turned out that the seal on the collar was knackered so the whole pipe would have to be replaced. The guy struggled with a spare from his van that wouldn't fit, so had to go and buy an adapter, but the end result is not only a non leaking bog, but the pipe is much more aesthetically pleasing than the old one, which was translucent, so we could see the shitty stains on the inside of it, resulting in me having to jury rig a cover made of cut up vinyl flooring. The new one is a better fit and definitely NOT see-through, which pleases Mrs W and thus she will not keep reminding me of what an eyesore it was.

Did you buy your house from Gillian McKeith?

A see through toilet pipe? Good grief... Who on earth would install that and think "Yep, that'll do".

Translucent, not transparent. A sort of corrugated polythene. And it was the previous owner who had that done, I assume.

Did you have to pay for anything?

Not a sausage.

I'm now trained to test IQ!

I need to practice though, who wants to be a Guinea pig?

Is that question part of the test?

I can't divulge that information.

I am now trained and qualified to carry out in service testing of portable electrical equipment and will shortly have a City and Guilds certificate to prove it. All this, just so I can train a few other people to do it.

It sounds more impressive than it is.

Ok then

Always important to test edge cases.

It's ok, I took an internet IQ test. It told me I had an IQ of 250.

I'm sure it wasn't flawed ay all.

I presume it didn't test your spelling?

It didn't test my typing on mini non autocorrecting phone keyboards...

More importantly, which Spice Girl are you?

The hot one. Natch.

I'm game in theory, depending on exactly what you want to get up to and whether it involves any personal information. Feel free to PM me with more details.

No personal information required apart from date if birth, but it does need to be done in person. Not sure how you would feel about that?

I'll give it a go, Jazzie

Cool beans! We'll have to sort something out.

..........................................

You're welcome to both.

Ok.. i am game

I've just been 10 feet from Katy Ashworth from off of Ceebeebies

Is that One-Arm?

No, I Can Cook Katy

Not seen that.

We were at the pub with stumpy last summer.
