You Right now V3 - A new Dawn, A new Bromance

Feeling moderately relieved that I don't have to hear any more static related to Charlie Gard and his stubborn, but misguided, parents.

Currently in Cuzco waiting for my back to get a bit better. Hurt it surfing. Nightmare finding any painkillers in Peru even seeing doctors. Ended up asking a taxi driver who took me to some seedy pharmacy and got 40 x OC 80's and 50 Indocid for $100 aud. Shits heavy but sneeze cheese and a beer balances it out. This place is like a gringo circus. Everyone is on the charlie and drinking. I am resting up as i want to get to Machu Pichu so need to let my back settle down. Anyway thats me. Take care everyone.

Your back is fucked every other month mate. You should try and get it under control before it cripples ya.

Just got my first paypacket in months and months. Rented a house in the most beautiful part of the country, 50km from work. Moving in there next week after I get back from a small trip to Thailand. Got my muscle bike back on the road and my debts paid off.

Kind of bored, but can't have it all . . . cabin fever from living on site the past month. . . like a minimum security prison with good facilities, but a prison none the less.

Buzzing very nicely. I've been in touch with the ex alot recently who is being extremely supportive towards my predicament, and have had 2 nights over at hers over the last week. Last week I introduced her to the wonderful world of the penny acid and last night I arrived to find she had an ounce of whizz in the house, so It's been a really nice couple of nights putting the world to rights. She had work so had to drop me home at about 8.00, still whizzing my tits off for the first time in ages so I'm cpatalising on the continued action with some nice tunes and ganja. Oh how I've missed being with people doing proper sociable fun drugs.

Just bouncing to a bit of Carl Cox from Tomorrowland. That show looks amazing. I have the John Digweed from earlier the same day as well which kicks ass. Once I'm sorted I need to get my arse onto the continent if I want to catch up with where it's at for an honest to god proper boogy woogy.

 

[Buspersons Holiday]

Yay, good for you & sociability & setting the world to rights - I'm a hermit by nature, but do love hanging out with friends & going places when I can't find an excuse not to

Right now I have a house full of kids (5 anyway, only one being mine) who were all playing amicably in one room with the door open, though I think a game of dares may have commenced as my child has just asked if I'll go out with him in earshot of the others, to raucous laughter above, then legged it back up the stairs before I could reply
The walls & floors are thin & I can hear the plotting of more dares from above....

Currently installing a new bathroom. I fuckin hate tiling so farmed it out to some fuckin retard that my nephew works for. Won't be making that mistake again, fuckin cowboys - it's taking me longer to sort out the shit job they made than it would have done for me to do the tiling in the first place. I fuckin hate 'tradesmen' so much it's not true...


(Cunt didn't like it when I showed him how to cut a tile properly, without leaving massive chips along the edge...)



Edit: if you wear shorts to work in the UK everyday, have a waist size bigger than your hips and permanently have your arse crack on show, then you're a cunt!! And you're shit at your job. Don't even ask for a cup of fuckin tea you slack arsed twat...

 

[Buspersons Holiday]

I've been quite surprised recently at seeing young ladies around town (in the daytime, not out clubbing or owt) wearing shorts so short, the bottom of their butt cheeks are exposed
I'm not sure if they're completely unaware of this or if it's a 'thing' (and I'm an old fogey)

 

[Jackal]

its a thing. A wonderful thing.

 

[Tranced]

I'm preetttyy sure they know their arse cheeks are hanging out.

I think the take away message here is that not all fads are rubbish.

It's what summer is all about.

Lol. A couple years ago I had guys in installing a new bathroom. When they got to the shower, they phoned me urgently at work to tell me that the sliding shower door was several inches too short to hang on the running track, and that I'd need to order another immediately. So I left work to come and sort it out. Within <5 seconds, I'd figured out the problem - they simply hadn't aligned the running track properly, only it was so fucking obvious you didn't need a spirit measure to tell, since it was wonky by about 2 inches! Utterly blind peabrains the lot of them.

^^I saw someone using a fidget widget in the spring, so this kind of stuff means it all balances out.

The key is to get an actual trained tradesman and not a jack of all trades cowboy. Of course, sometimes the trained tradesman are in fact still just utter shit. My dads a joiner and he spends a lot of time writing the wrongs of people with no qualifications going round doing cheap bodge jobs. He's got a few go to plumbers/electricians/etc who he uses to do the same.

What exactly does the guy who did it actually do for a living? It's incredible to think you had to show him how to cut a tile.

Heh, a man after my own heart!


Don't even get me started on the gasman who said my combi boiler had been incorrectly installed because the flue was less than the required 300mm distance from my kitchen extractor fan, without even measuring it. As a a result, he decommissioned my boiler, on a fuckin Sunday. As soon as he'd gone, I got my tape measure out, distance was just over 300mm, so I turned the boiler back on. Cue lots of arguing with so called 'professionals' who couldn't even agree on the regulations, but resulted in us having our extractor fan removed due to 'safety issues' (apparently having the boiler flue too close to the extractor can result in carbon monoxide being sucked in. I see the point, but surely having a gaping fuckin hole in your wall would present a bigger risk than an extractor which is permanently on). Long story short, got some proper professionals in who backed me up all the way and the retards had to come and reinstall the extractor. Fuckin common sense? Fuckin common cunts...

Depends which way the boiler's fan is blowing. If the fan is on the intake, forcing air into the firebox, then the boiler is under positive pressure and could leak CO into the room. If the fan is on the exhaust, drawing air through the firebox, then the boiler is under negative pressure and the worst it can do is draw air from the room. Also, you would require three faults occurring in the right order to get gas released to the burner without the fan running.

Plus, the fan ensures an excess of air meaning you get all the carbon fully oxidsed to carbon dioxide, no carbon monoxide. (It requires three moles of oxygen to react completely with one mole of methane giving only H2O and CO2.)

Also, the combustion products are in the inner duct. The outer duct is bringing fresh air to the boiler. As long as the sampling plug is in place, all is good.

Yup, bang on. Then there's the electrician who connected my new electric cooker. Cooker turned out to be faulty so we got a replacement - which I decided to install myself because no way was I was paying again for 5 minutes of an electricians valuable time. Turns out the previous electrician hadn't even connected the earth - on a 60 A cooker circuit...I couldn't even complain because Im not 'qualified'. Fuck me, if retards like that are qualified, then god help the rest of us...

 

[BecomingJulie]

Please tell me he did not mount the isolator switch centrally behind the cooker, where someone might have to reach over a burning chip pan to shut off the power .....

Heh, no; the isolator was already installed. He just hadn't properly inserted the earth on the cooker cable into the wall connector. Something I may never have known if I hadn't illegally fitted our next cooker - or we'd all died in a fire...

 

[BecomingJulie]

More likely an electric shock than a fire, if the Earth connection was off. Then you're relying on the RCD to protect you, and who the fuck actually tests theirs once a month and then goes around resetting all their clocks and so forth?

Still, mine saved me when my street got turned into a river earlier this year -- apropos of nothing, it was the day Chuck Berry died -- due to water company executives taking such huge bonuses that they could not afford to maintain their water mains; so that's something. And the insurance paid up, and Severn Trent got sued by the insurance company. And I got a new washing machine and a new floor out of it.

For a fire, you'd need the live or neutral terminal to have worked loose. They do sometimes need another tighten, about a week or so after first installation. Something to do with changes in the molecular structure under compression.

And then Severn Trent and the insurance company both put their bills up to cover those costs, which boosted earnings and profits and justified even bigger bonuses for their great job-creating hard working executive chunts. Rinse, repeat.
