    Mrs Binners … sent me off to the shops to get a couple of odds and sodsun-needed items she’d panicked into thinking she needed.
    There I found a lot of other people just like me.

    If there are line problems, as can happen after all this shite weather, your adsl will slow down in order to keep you connected*

    *think noisy room and trying to have a conversation with someone stood on the other side of the room, it is a slow, noisy process getting the message (data) across.

    once the line is fixed, the synch speed will go up, but the actual data speed may stay lower until the auto monitoring system is sure the line is clear (hence the 72hours wait)
    You could call your CP and ask for ‘An SNR reset’. however this is ‘resetting’ the circuit to ‘as new’ and will likely take up to 10 days to settle down but you should get the mostly ‘proper’ speed back straight away.

    Yes and no?

    Isn’t there a physics law to do with the conservation of mass?

    The only way earth can get heavier is for shit to come from the outside.

    so we gain a few lumps of space rock each year, making us heavier but we send shit into space making us lighter.

    Os maps are in km and when using with bike computer and compass, km is better.

    Once i get home from shredding the gnarr and the mrs asks how far, i do the 5/8 mental calculation and say ‘its about a mile and a half,love’!

    Toadally stokerized.. and now stocked back up on biscuits and crisps! 🙂

    Oh and Bear, I just read about your worry about using the correct phrases etc.

    Use ‘Above the line’ communication and ‘Towards’ language..
    (you hear people in the media use it all the time)

    What the hell does that mean?

    ‘Above the line’ is positive and not negative words
    e.g ‘I was excited to learn that we had won the new contract’
    not: ‘Our company is more secure because we avoided losing this contract’.
    ………………..

    ‘Towards’ is about going forwards to achieve a goal rather than avoid a failure.

    e.g. ‘I focussed the team on surpassing our quarterly finance objectives’
    rather than: ‘we managed to avoid being in the bottom three for the second year running’.

    Sounds a bit like BS? Maybe, but the words you use will tell your interviewer what kind of mindset you have.

    Aftermath

    is the format my company uses against ‘Capabilities’

    The interview questions usually go like this (the applicant knows which 2 of 7 capabilities will be covered, so has time to prepare..)

    Can you give a recent and relevant example of when you demonstrated *good customer service* (or other capability)

    The advice I was given was that any action must have a good reason or why would you do it, and also always say ‘I’ instead of ‘We’, even if you were part of a team.

    Also word the objective as simply as possible. if there are multiple elements group them together into a single phrase.

    Aftermath is about reviewing the whole scenario and seeing if there was another way in which the outcome or result could have been achieved.

    Scenario’s don’t always need a successful outcome but you wouldn’t want to use a failure as an example in an interview, would you?

    ..oh and like Yoda says, ‘Do or Do not, there is no ‘try”’.

    How define a bad driver..

    When passengers tell you to slow down, look out,etc

    When passengers go quiet when you overtake, brake, change lanes etc.

    When others drive themselves rather than get in a car with you.

    When your passenger is white knuckling the dashboard,coathook or you spot their right foot ‘braking’

    Seen any of that? Congratulations, you are a shit driver.

    Bez,

    generalising on the roads keeps me alive.

    how about this for a generalisation?

    All other road users are idiots and should be treated as such.

    Why do i need to overtake someone doing 68?

    Because in a few mins they will be doing 65, then 63.. when my car is capable of doing 70 legally why SHOULDN’T i overtake?

    And generally speaking, people travelling at 68/65/63 are not safe to be sharing the same bit of tarmac with (motorway)IMO.

    Why?

    1. Old dodderers. Unsure of the capabilities of the car or their own skill.
    2. Not paying attention. Cos 68 is ALWAYS safe, right?
    3. Slowing down because they are on the phone or some other distraction.
    4. Car full of women shoppers yapping. Not paying attention.
    5. MLS. Lazy, not thinking about whats going on.

    At least when i’m on my bike i can quickly get past people who i think are more of a hazard.

    I drive a speed limited company car and I have an unlimited bandit 1250.

    I know which I feel safer riding.

    the limited car is not the problem, its the **** on the motorways that:
    1: overtake you and then slow down in front to about 69.95 mph. you can’t get past them without blocking the middle lane for miles.

    2: the bastards who sit on your shoulder in the middle lane, you cant speed up and get away from them, they’ve spotted your ‘limited to 70’ sticker and think if they will get caught for speeding if they overtake.

    3:trucks overtaking trucks is just a nightmare if you are in a car limited to 70. you go in the outside lane at 72 or whatever and **** crawl past the bloody lorry in the middle lane. dangerous.

    4: in order to actually overtake something going 68 or whatever, you have to tailgate them right up their ass before you can pull out to overtake, as it takes too long to get by and tuck back in if you don’t, causing a hold up.

    I would sooner walk than buy a limited car by choice.

    Never start a spready in A1.. i always start on C6 as it gives you the opportunity to add ‘helper’ columns.

    While being frowned upon by the elite, you could copy your second column in before your first and then do a vlookup.

    Hide the helper afterwards if you need.
