I need to raise the seawall to 11.95mAOD so that the ballast from the railway is retained and that there is sufficient ‘freeboard’.

Out of a wing population of 176, 58 are on Methodone.

I have found the joy of pivot tables and charts, and now can’t help but use them for the most trivial tasks.

Four years of uni and a career in technical software testing and IT security comes to this…

I’ve submitted 82 checkins to our version control system so far this calendar year, if you include branch integrations.

I was sent out to buy a new electric kettle for the British Rail booking office in 1969

Even more boringly, I have sent three more e-mails today than my normal daily average of 34. Interestingly, my current total of mails sent is at the same level as last week, even though it’s a thursday today and I was out two days last week.

I hate Excel.

Icefresh Cod was £146 per 27Kg unit in April 2007 🙂

Non-human animals adopt the first moving thing they see when they’re born as their primary carer, whether it’s their mother or not.. whatever they chose influences sexual attraction later in life….

Balance Kiteboards 2009 line up uses a core structure comprised of a mixture of end grain CNC wood laminate, Airex foam and Nomex Honeycomb.

The Micc cable I’ve just run a lighting circuit in will operate up to a temperature of 1083°C but that will reduce the life of the cable, not that it’ll matter as the fitting would have burnt out by then, so in fact will the house.

There seems to be more chiefs than indians where I work..

a 1.5 meter satellite dish costs £125 + vat.
it will pull in nilesat…….. 😉

I just finished being taught any information for 1 year, 4 months and 23 days.

Three hours of medication administraion training beginning in the middle of the day does not a happy dan make.

Thursday has become the new Friday !!!

Tomorrow’s business travel will include 4 trains, 2 ferries, 2 cars and 1 van

Is it just me or are some of these facts interesting?

Shreddies consist of four laminations, this was very difficult to achieve due, obviously, to low temperature delamination. The standard used to be three laminations.

I think you’ll find that they are knitted by grannies in Scotland!

If I park in a traffic sensitive street and display a blue arrow or leave my amber beacon on, I put myself and my company at risk of being fined several thousand pounds under the Traffic Management Act.

If however, I just lock the van up with no roadworks guarding but still causing the same obstruction, I merely become liable for a parking ticket as my vehicle is no longer part of my work site 🙂

Incidentally, I can also be fined £500 for neglecting to wear a hi-vis jacket whilst working in the vicinity of the carriageway.

we only have one application server guy and he probably has the work of about 4 people to do over the next couple of months.

anyone know Oracle AS 10.1.3 or 10.3?

Office 2007 is incomprehensible in a human lifetime.

They only requested the depth volumes so I have to wait and do nothing till the time volumes arrive.

Which is fine by me, in fact.

18% of my pupils will unwittingly traipse off to the technicians lab for “a long stand”.

The cleaners are stealing our sugar and John left his soup “defrosting” in the microwave for a fortnight over the Easter holidays. The staff base is beginning to smell better now.

Today I went on a course in that London. At Marble Arch tube exit, I walked up to someone I thought I recognised from work, slapped him on the back, said “hiya mate, didn’t know you were on this course too?”. He turned round, and it wasn’t anyone I knew at all, but by a freak of coincidence he WAS on the same course as me anyway and we both spent all day pretending we knew each other – which was nice but kinda weird too.

the new canoe trailer, designed by an ‘expert’ has struts that are about 2 inches too short, so a canoe cannot slide on from the back, without falling off at it’s widest point.

which requires a whole new way of getting cold, wet 11 year olds to load the bloody things 🙁

the Yamaha LS9 desk will not run successfully for more than a couple of seconds if the Word Clock is set to SPDIF in.

By fitting 3/8″ chains to our 357XP’s, we have exceeded the 20m/s protection of our trousers, but like you ever catch your leg at full power, not that you’d want to, you will never see so much fluff wedged in a machine

also, we just broke the splitter tooth off the technorton bench, with the Ford 3000, thought it was too under pressured, unlike the unimog which used to eat them, even with reduced flow valve

The deadline for REACH registration could be 2010, 2013 or 2018, depending of course on the the volume you are registering.

But i guess you all knew that anyway.

as part of my work i am party to thousands of not very interesting facts about hundreds of different companies. unfortunately i can’t remember a single one

also: negotiating allocation of costs for the data requirements for the abovementioned registrations with Italian colleagues is a pain in the arse because they will never commit to anything.

But the lunch, as always, was excellent.

Just back from a day trip to Milan, left home 5am, back 9pm now off to bed. And you think teachers with their 4 hours of marking a night have it hard. Boohoo.

timber – can I have your job?
